I’ve been converted to a thing I was originally against, and now the rest of the staff is in the "against this thing’ while I’m on the train.

Feeling like you’re getting sick, but you’re not sure how sick. Is this gonna be a thing or is it just going to be an irritation, but not debilitating. Which prevents planning accordingly if you need to stay home or not.

My father is a genuinely good person. He fights bis Bipolar disorder to be there for the family. If someone needs help a single call to my father and he is there. (Example: at my little sister’s wedding I locked myself out of my car. I called a locksmith but before one could arrive another commity member arrived and unlocked my car. I tried to pay them and they refused with the explanation (not exact quote) “I’ve called your father so many times and he had always been there. I’m glad to do something for him.”
But damn if he doesn’t have blind spots. Last night I was talking to myself in my classroom and went “Yeah, he really went off the reservation,” and it hit me that the phrase could be offensive. As any good millennial would I Googled the phrase and yup, offensive. I posted the link on FB.
My father went on a couple sentence rant about how we treat people is more important than a phrase no one remembers the origin of. He isn’t wrong… but also we can do ~both~. Both is better! Treat people well AND once we know better avoid hurtful phrases that can bring up cultural trauma for people.
Just shaking my head at this particular blindspot. Even the best people are at least somewhat racist.

Forgetting to research exactly what I need when I order computer hardware. I did not order the screws needed to seat this SSD that just came in, so I have nothing to mount it with.

Sounds like your problems are… mounting.

At the HOA budget meeting and most of us are on the same page but one person keeps derailing us off the topic of “how do we want to spend our money.”

Someone please convince me that the TA will (probably) not give me an extension on my mid-term if the excuse I give him is “Currently in jail for trying to strangle the professor over his incessant bullshit.”

There is so much media I want to enjoy. It’s released faster than I can consume it. And it’s so frustrating to know I’ll never be able to catch up.
It also means I end up like multi-tasking on stuff; like listening to a TV or youtube series or whatever while simultaneously playing a video game. Although that means I can’t really focus properly on either, which harms my enjoyment. But I also know that, so I make sure that I only do that with stuff that I don’t care that much about and don’t mind only giving half my focus to…
…which means I’m specifically avoiding all the best stuff because I want to give that my full attention but that would mean less efficient consumption.

When you finally get a book you’ve wanted to read for a long time and it’s really not that good.

My peeve is having one of the stupidest phobias in existence that is casting an anxiety cloud over getting to do certain things I want to do. Why is my brain so stupid???
-
We are now required to have ANY door that has a lock in the entire building locked and closed at all times. Since not all of us have keys to all the doorways we need to access every day this means people literally are locked out of places they need to be.
Our guests can’t even use the bathroom without being escorted there.
It is fake security and it drives me mad.

My peeve is that whenever I have any sort of life stress or anxiety, it will manifest in my sleep cycle, and just completely wreck it, even when I do my best to take steps to compensate for that by going to bed early, winding down, all that good stuff.

Yeah this is basically why I smoke weed.

The anxiety that builds up on having to leave the houise for whatever reason but then when you get where you were going it goes mostly back into the back of your brain.
At least until something goes wrong and it comes screaming right back.

I bricked my Windows install using a Windows recovery drive to try and format and reinstall. It doesn’t boot now. Then I tried to “fix” things when what I think I really needed was an installation drive and not a recovery drive.
All I wanted was to install an SSD and start fresh with every drive clean.

This is a super common reason people give for smoking but the few medical trials on the subject have suggested weed, especially the high-potency stuff, actually fucks with your REM cycle and makes you sleep for a shorter amount of time. If you’re gonna go that route, I’d recommend CBD extracts instead to anyone considering it.

@Wizz Indeed a relatively recent metaanalysis (Stanciu et al., 2021) actually suggests that use of cannabis products is contraindicated for treating anxiety (along with bipolar, depressive, and anxiety disorders) as it can negatively impact the severity of the condition and those with said disorders or conditions display higher likelihood of developing substance abuse issues.
Though the sample sizes are small and the studies have been short-term, so more research is required (as always).

As with anything, just see for yourself if it works for you. I used to absolutely obliterate myself with a fat bowl at night in my 30s but these days I take a late-release 5g 1:1 gelcap at the end of the day and my evening is chill and I don’t wake up 4-5 times in the night like I do when I’m sober.
