no offense but I think "nothing matters" is a bad way to put this imo

the best way I heard it described is: when you're 30 or below, you want people to think highly of you. 30-45, you stop caring what people think. 45+ you realize they weren't thinking about you at all.

obvo age ranges vary but I found that comforting for some reason

Below 30:



45+:

I had to miss my interview today because I didn't realize I was scheduled

Then the one I did last week turned me down

A buddy told me.abojt lambda school, though, 40 week online coding class Thing, 0 dollars upfront, they just get a cut of your check for two years once you're making over 50k, and they're supposed to have good placement

i don't know.

i like when people include me in things, but my absolute favourite thing in the world is cancelling those plans the morning of and sitting around all day doing gently caress all except coming up with reasons why nobody will miss me anyways and actually it was probably a pity invite in the first place so \_(ツ)_/

I do this too, and it's the worst feeling. You have to muscle through and go, but if you don't have pills Idk how you would get over your anxiety.

I wish there was a mental health/addiction cleaning service industry or charity. It can be so overwhelming a task to clean your apartment when you're in recovery, or when your own home is helping trigger the same brain problems that preclude you from cleaning it. If you don't have the friends/family to help it can become a really bad cycle, particularly if you're worried about getting evicted.

I've gone through periods of addiction that would have been just.. enormously helped in that way.

I'm going to give this more thought. There are crime scene/hoarder cleaning services, it's not unthinkable that people would take on the job. Maybe it could be made a thing.

Edit: a more thorough googling shows a couple exist in the UK and US, which is cool, though they seem to be geared towards the more well to do, and still very rare. It still feels like something that could help a lot of struggling people.

Learning that no one actually gives a gently caress about you pretty much cured me of my severe anxiety. I used to have trouble paying at cashiers and stuff like that.

Do you have an actual diagnosis? I dont know how serious youre being but if you have aspergers/autism your city or state May have a disability employment aid program you can take advantage of and remove the obstacle of people expecting you to be normative

I have a little drone and it's actually fun and relaxing to fly it around in the park, until I gently caress up and it goes too high and the wind carries it over the highway again

update: my dad is keeping us hostage because he thinks if we left and went to a shelter the state would take my daughter away (???). he has hardcore boomer brain and thinks that being employed and having a mortgage is the number one factor in being a Good Dad. its gotten to the point where i wish my parents are dead so i can finally be free of them.

i wasnt being hyperbolic when i said they are trying to get me to kill myself but i'd really rather not do that.
