Things that frustrate us all

[Fantasy Lover]

There are times that my ARFID pisses me off, and now is such a time. I'm in psychiatry now, so there is menu for each week. Thankfully, I can alter it. This is my second week here, my first week I had no trouble, I had the altered menu.

However, it happened twice now that I had the original menu and not the altered menu. And I can't decide what pisses me off more my ARFID, or the disrespect towards my ARFID. One of my fellow patients said: "it's not an hotel." My best friend said something nasty as well.

They both have no idea how much trouble I had growing up because of my ARFID: I remember attending the new years eve gathering with my family and going home hungry because I didn’t like the food.

I remember having discussions with my mom about eating what the host prepared when visiting her friends and again going home hungry because I didn’t like the food because she considered it rude to make demands when eating at someone's else's house. Personally, I considered it rude not eating anything, but mom's word was law. So to my best friend and my fellow patient I say this: get rekt!

I've had a really bad cough and it's bad enough that it caused a subconjunctival hemorrhage in one eye.

^ yikes! Hope you're better soon.

I've had a really bad cough and it's bad enough that it caused a subconjunctival hemorrhage in one eye.

Damn, and I thought the coughs I had with that bad bronchitis time were bad, but that at least the pain was confined to the rib area. Adding an eyeball to the coughs? That's really rough.

Hope that heals up quickly.

I had to actually leave a message with a receptionist today. It was during normal hours. Still haven't got a call back. It's about my Insurance. I really need new glasses. Meh, what's happening in this world where so hard to get in touch with people about important things these days? And a receptionist?

So in my country if you are struggling mentally, but you don't want to go to the psychiatry you can go the hospital, they have a psychiatric department there, you can stay there for three weeks. I know one hospital in my city needs a referral, one doesn't and the other two I'm not sure.

I went to the hospital without a referral, this is my last week. The day before yesterday I was filled with anxiety because I didn’t know when would be my last day, and if I could actually go to the psychiatry for a longer period because I felt a bit better but not much. And then my boyfriend dumped me, so I'm pissed.

I'm even more pissed that the past few weeks I repeatedly said I needed help for a longer period in a psychiatry because three weeks weren't sufficient, but I apparently that wasn't necessary. I'm grateful my social assistant insisted on a longer stay, but I still end up on the wait list of the psychiatry. If I was taking seriously, I was already on that wait list but noooooo. So now I'm both pissed and annoyed

I have been spending actual days making a graph of the 2024 Summer Olympics results for my computer science class. Somehow managed to accidentally do the graph backwards???

Mobile ads that look like playable game demos but aren't, and then they go on and on and on, and when you try to click the tiny little x in the corner to close the ad, it takes you to the app store instead of just going back to the app you were originally using.

My grandmother in law is dealing with something similar. Unfortunately, at least in the States, it's open enrollment and end of the year so receptionists are busy dealing with a lot of questions.

I've been struggling making contact for scheduling interviews and hearing back because things are so busy.

Thanks for the input. Hope it ends soon.

Already sick of winter. Is it spring yet?

Open annual enrollment for those already on USA Medicare ends December 7.

The commercials on TV never stop, because people turning 65 also have to sign up for Medicare from between three months before they turn 65, and three months after they turn 65, for their initial enrollment period.

I was just forced to sit through a two-hour long basketball game. I don't give a shit about sports! It was just sitting in a room where everyone is screaming so loudly that I now have a headache, for two hours, because the school was making me. This is stupid.

I run into that constantly on my tablet apps, and it's so annoying.
I'm starting to get sick of streaming, I'm getting tired of having to constantly be signed up for a ton of different streaming services on top of the cable TV that I already have if I want to be able to watch everything I'm interested in. I miss when you if you had cable you pretty much everything except for the handful of shows that were on premium cable.

Winter here is so short, I could never be sick of it. I freaking LOVE it.

Profane pigs at the library with no class, sense, consideration or letup. At least one was ejected recently due to her violent Shakespearean intensity. Otherwise, where's Robert DeNiro when you need him?

In the first 6 days of December, we’ve received well over the amount of snow that we usually get in the whole month. And I’ve never been a fan of snow, so this constant dumping this week has really negatively affected my mood and state of mind. It’s probably made worse because last year was so mild, and we got much less snow than usual.

And I can’t even complain that much, because other communities in the region have had even higher accumulation.

And yes, I know this isn’t even technically winter yet!

I know I shouldn’t be complaining about snow when there’s SO much awful going on in the world right now. But no matter how much I tell myself that, I can’t seem to shake how it affects me mentally.

Snow is for (my former) 8-12 year-olds…or skiers/snowboarders…or for snow-plowers…
