In meteorology, vorticity often refers to a measurement of the spin of horizontally flowing air about a vertical axis.
I haven't felt suicidal in like 10 years. But poo poo is hosed and continues to get worse. The IRS can't tell me if I'm going to get a Socialism Check or not. The SBA can't tell me if I'm going to get any loans/grants. I'm lucky that my landlord is willing to waive rent and late fees, but I know not many are that lucky. I'm drinking more than I did when the bars were open, even though it's going to put me back in the hospital with pancreatitis if I keep this up. My anxiety that was under control with medication is now through the roof again. And nobody in charge gives a gently caress about us down here in the real world.

And I can't even get a hug from my friends. gently caress it all.

It looks to be wrapping up soon, even if that's not the best idea.

The spice must flow, etc.

Take the next few days to sober the gently caress up and get ready for the reboot.

That's my plan anyway.

Everyone else is fine. Just another day trapped in your home without knowing how much longer you will have to do that and with a future full of uncertainty while you watch crazy people demand the government let them die for money. No biggie.

Edit: I'm being facetious. It's awful and you are not alone with your anxiety.

that's really unhelpful guys, i know this is an internet forum to make dumb jokes, but really OP, if you're feeling suicidal, please, reach out, get help. A lot of therapists will do video calls, even before this whole epidemic happened. I know that can be expensive, but some insurance will help / cover all of it. if you're employed but furloughed, a lot of companies have wellness coverage that will get you help. I've been there, i know how dark it can be, but there's always a way out. If you need someone to just talk to, hit me up in DM or something, we can chat.

Just find something constructive to take your mind off things. Like, yeah, being stuck inside all day erry day has been grinding me down too, but i've found a game i'm enjoying and have put almost 300 hours into it during the course of this mess. Pick up a game, read a book, listen to audiobooks, clean the house, do yardwork, just, be active and it really does help.

Thank god I have a cat or else I would lose my mind and I am almost a shut in. But not able to go see my family and do simple things like going to a coffee shop to read a book, a library or a museum is driving me nuts. I cannot even try to understand the dread that an extrovert must feel right now.

It's denial and the knowledge that unexpected good stuff DOES happen in life and it could happen to you.

should probably get a dog and focus on making sure the dog is happy. combined if the dogs happy is at 100% that will raise your average quite a bit
also im listening to college radio a lot and its almost like i forgot that i like hearing new music

It's not easy but possible to cut down appreciably, quitting is for quitters.

this is unrelated but I briefly had the same AV as you (OP) do because I grabbed it from an AV thread. I saw you had the same one as me and had a more fitting username and text thing and changed mine. Then I participated in an avatar roulette thread and got this one!!

anyway, I go out and work about 50 hours a week but my roommate works from home now and is still lazy as poo poo and its frustrating. Like, you're home 24/7 at least do the cooking and dishes god drat. I know I'm the better cook but when I get home from work I'd be fine with some simple hamburger helper poo poo at this point

otoh cooking is one of my main hobbies and when I have actual free time I enjoy doing it but a day when I've been at two jobs for a total of 12 hours is not one of those times

I snagged some writeup from somewhere (maybe here?) thats a knockoff or copy of the Couch to 5K runplan, I can post it if I find it, then you just need Audacity and a few hours to splice running tracks together.
