My mental health has taken a *BEATING* the past two weeks. I've varied from depression, anger, anxiety, overwhelming sadness, it'd be funny if it wasn't so sad at the same time. I know the triggers - I am well-past overloaded, full time school, full time work, full time volunteer, my kids are going through some kind of leap that has made them very difficult to deal with, and my wife who I would think in my rational mind is doing her best, in my sick mind is annoyed/disappointed/done with me. It has left me feeling very stranded and misunderstood with no avenues for discussion. It doesn't help that all of those 'full time things' are incredibly stressful right now, whether it means a high workload, a lot of eyes on a project, finishing a final paper for school, leading a new organization through a difficult time. I just...want to crawl into bed. I have many many people telling me that I need to take a vacation but there is no ideal time to do it, and no ideal way to take it - I can't go anywhere unless it's by myself and my frame of mind isn't in a place where that's a good idea. I am hoping that by the end of this week with my one class coming to a close, that'll alleviate the pressure.

When you find everyone and everything incredibly annoying, I have to be the problem, right??

I am in this post. My anti-anxiety meds help a ton. I know "Therapy!" Is a meme here but some kind of therapeutic may be helpful for you.

I think at this point, people NOT in some kind of therapy (or at the very least, verifiably unhealthy coping mechanism) are the odd ones out.

Dr. Tito, ease my mind!

If they’re calling that a security deposit, I’m pretty sure there are laws saying that a security deposit isn’t allowed to be more than one month’s rent.

If it’s “prepay your first 6 months” I think that’s ok.

Ok my Internet has been out since early Thu afternoon, and it wasn’t fixed when I got home today and it’s Friday and I’m on the West Coast which means it’s after hours and that means it’s not going to be fixed until Mon night at the earliest.

Poop.

Well, it's a Russian owned site, isn't it? That's why I personally never used it.

The demo is largely Russian, but it is based out of New York. It was founded by two of the original founders of VK (Russia's Facebook), which Mail.RU took over in a hostile action in 2014, after VK refused to take down opposition political posts. One of the ex founders went on to found Telegram, the other two founded Coub.

So, it's not exactly well regarded by the Kremlin.

At least this way they're skipping the inevitable awkward period where they decide to purge all their NSFW content in order to make a play for being bought by a bigger company.

Yeah, I only knew it as an offshoot of vk.

I only knew it as "Tiktok but the porn isn't hidden as much and there seems to be slightly less perving on actual (pre)teens going on":D

Probably the best thing about it is it didn't have a comments section. But I think the 10 second video limit kept it from really competing with Tiktok.

Trying to take up the work of the guy who quit, I am starting to feel the imposter syndrome pretty heavy right now.

Remember, you're the one stepping up because you are the person who can. You're doing some new things, and it might take a while to get comfortable with them. And be aware that there are things that are being asked of you that are unreasonable.

Hey Gas, welcome to my world mid-august this year, I was given the Department Head position via a 30 second conversation with my General Manager while he was driving a forklift in the warehouse. "you want to be the guy in charge of your department?" "I guess?" "Great! STARTING MONDAY YOU ARE THE MAN!" he then drove away and I was left standing there dumbfounded by it all.

I tried to cook some French fries... in a 425 degree oven. Then I did not set a timer. I got drunk and forgot about them... They were some impressive bits of charcoal when I smelled them...

Had a rough day at work. A couple of bad calls from customers.

Home now, watching cartoons, and eating junk food. Fully aware I'm stress eating. Or destress eating, I guess.

I've been eating a lot of junk, even after moving out. I probably would have lost a lot more weight from all the biking if I actually ate better.
