That's been bugging me for years, but I had to give up.

You have a lot of youngish friends who die.....

Sorry to hear. If you don't mind me asking how did your friend find out he had cancer? Just listliss and sick with bowel problems or did he just find it on routine check up?

This year is so brutal......


I am really lucky that actually I have had a sequence of events the last year that have been crazy lucky/beneficial. But there has been so much pain for most everyone...

I think I sprained my thumb today. I can move it around but it is painful to bend at the knuckle.

Was shovelling snow at my mom's, then I tried to open a bag of salt without scissors by pushing my thumb through the thick plastic. I couldn't poke a hole through it and hurt my thumb instead.

I’ve spent like 3 weeks feeling really really annoyed, but I’m not sure at what.

Could be a sign of depression. Consider what we've been through and are still going through with COVID- lock downs, isolation, curfews, etc.

I have highs and lows myself. Some days I am so pissed off for no reason too. Then I remind myself that I'm living and working in my apartment. I use public transit to go shopping and also look after my mother on my off days. Staying constantly vigilant about mask wearing wearing and hand washing, avoiding others where possible; there's no relaxing or letting one's guard down. I worry about the economy and jobs and money and wonder how long we will have to live like this. I see so many more homeless people now and drug addicts closer to my home, more than I used to. I won't go on, but this year has been pretty fucking depressing. To balance myself, i remind myself of the good things that have happened this year too.

Yeah, I’ve asked myself if I feel depressed, which is a fair possibility. However, I think this is different (I spent many years depressed, so I imagine I’d be able to recognise the difference inside myself) and I wonder if it’s just burnout.

As you said, this year brought about all those new challenges... I worry about my health, my partner’s health, my income (I’m changing jobs and my new one doesn’t pay well yet... and I changed jobs partly because the industry of human translation is dying), the near future (we bought a flat), I still have one year left of studies in my university, and in general I feel like I haven’t had a break since March.

I tell myself I need a week off from everything, when I can just read and smoke weed and sleep without having to deal with anything else.

I didn't like reading this about you. I hope you both feel better...this coming from someone who has lived a life in all this and more

Thanks, SR.
I'm doing well, just sometimes when I get down I think about all the things that are wrong or could go wrong,basically I make myself more anxious. On top of that, I'm aware that my thinking is making me feel bad which makes me feel even worse.

I think what Larry said about burnout is probably right. I too need a little break to kick back and not worry about anything for a little while.

Hey take care, ok?

Maybe if you can give yourself a little reward now and again, in whatever form that may take.
