forcing myself to "eat protein" and "be responsible" after once again encountering a week long period of all my muscles hurt so bad and are so weak despite doing the same thing they always do assuming without checking that it was probably because im eating mostly coffee and plain untoasted bread in small quantities. and its not even a whey bread or 100% whole wheat, ive been trying to use up my bread flour/whole wheat blend (i dumped them in the bucket together, maybe on accident ? unclear) so its just that with whatever else i threw in. spent $6 on the only yogurt in the store that had at least 5 grams of protein per 1/4 cup, which is still very little, only to get home and finally google what the symptoms of protein deficiency are. they are not that. those are the symptoms of Who Fucking Knows, As Always

#i dont even like yogurt...#god the food situation is so bad #so it turns out i can do one of the following--but badly and it takes more than 100% of my energy and is miserable and untenable long term #and involves injuring myself to do it: school. work. taking care of stuff around the house. taking care of myself.#i can do ONE.#i also dont get to pick because obviously i have to work #so feeding myself (even like making a bowl of cereal or eating a granola bar) is so impossibly difficult that i can only really do it #at night when high and finally able to feel hunger #and even then its still incredibly difficult and i usually get as far as cutting a slice of bread and then giving up and eating it plain #most of the actual meals i eat are because my roommates are usually kind enough to make enough dinner for 3 #but i also have very weird and frequently changing dietary needs that i have not communicated 2 anyone so i cant necessarily actually eat i #have cooked some and made sandwiches a few times but its very clear i am borrowing from tomorrows spoons....#i ran out of the ensure a bit ago and i will get more although none of the stores nearby sell it #but i absolutely cannot afford to live off it #have luckily found that if i just drink one in the morning it staves off the majority of the nonstop random nausea attacks #so a 12 pack would last a lot longer but then its like. so now i need to figure out the eating thing again #cant win etc etc #augh. anyway. complaining over #disordered eating #chronic illness

T-T ugh.. next time!!#we also met a dog! :o she was just standing alone outside a house and stared at the gate #and we came by she walked up to us and looked at me and was like 'get me inside :)'#so my friend went around the house and the owner came and was like omgggg she ran away again!!!#im glad it was so easy to help the dog bc i could not have left her alone by a street w cars and stuff #but she was so sweet and cute and let me pet her 💗#hmm yeah! then i walked home in the heat that killed me... and now im sitting in front of the fan ^-^#im not cut out for summer!!! anywaysss it was just a nice time #i wish i could've stayed longer. i'll make sure to bring a cheap snack next time so i can hang out more

being evaluated for adhd by having one of those full psych evals that last like two hours. scared frightened etc.... last time i took it i lied extensively bc i was 13 and thought they might tell my mommy if i said i had suicidal thoughts. and i still have a habit of lying to therapists bc i'm embarrassed......... AGH idk. what if i take it and they tell me that the reason im Like This is bc im genuinely just weird and shitty and not bc im mentally ill at all. SCARED

#which is dumb bc i have been formally diagnosed with multiple mental illnesses i dont think they can just take it back right?????#this is so stupid and cliche but what if i have been faking it........ all along........ Argh.#when i was in res i was put on adderall (bc the house psych just kind of experimented w meds LMFAO) and i had to go off them after like #two weeks bc it was affecting my appetite in a way i couldnt afford at the time lmao. but i do genuinely feel like it helped during that #time.... which is why i want to go on it again!!!! but im scared theyll just be like nah and i wont be able to take any of my meds anymore #is that crazy. am i being crazy rn. idk i truly do think most of my experiences w school and like. life could be explained by adhd and #when i was a kid they thought i had it but the two meds they tried didnt work for me so they just. kind of gave up #and i was really extremely unable to do school and graduated hs w an insanely low gpa and then dropped out of community college. LMAO. not #that people w adhd cant be good in school i just couldnt make myself do homework and couldnt listen in class bc i was too busy focusing on #listening. if that makes sense #IDK. idk. i know it's become like. a trend to have adhd is the issue and everything is being attributed to having it so im worried that ive #like. accidentally fallen in w that? even though ive thought i had it for forever and everyone has been like girl do you have this. IDK!!!!#idk. idkkkk im just like. genuinely scared. it's not the end of the world if im not diagnosed obviously but that means that #im just like this for no reason at all. and there's no way of helping it bc it's just the way i am. and i actually am just shitty n lazy.#epic. which incidentally is the proper name for how fucking long these tags are my bad. if you read this far sorry for being insane 👍

#currently crying because I'm alone with my husband's 94 year old grandma and I'm the only one who ever lets her talk about certain topics #so she just talked about her childhood and youth for one and a half hours #which means. the war #I'm not gonna go into it but it makes me cry every time even though I've already heard it all before #how can you not cry about a child who lost two of her teenaged brothers and had to watch the third one very nearly die too #the stories about how careful they had to be because the police constantly went to every house and checked everything #how they had to hide some of the milk from their cows so they could make butter because they couldn't afford to buy it #and how dangerous that was.#idk I'm so tired of people dying over senseless and unnecessary shit forever and ever and nothing ever changes and no one ever seems #to learn from it #or at least the ones in power don't #as long as there's disposable people (men) to send to war it doesn't matter. and now that's not even necessary anymore you can just kill #people from far away and. I'm just tired #and I'll shut up now and not talk about these things again as usual. it's not because I don't care it's because it (literally) drives me #insane to think about it and I know it's weak and pathetic but I have to choose to stay just barely sane enough to stay alive #can't stop crying. 🙃#anyway. shouldn't talk about it so. bye

my ex, who lives alone, is apparently about to buy a 5-bedroom, 4-bathroom, 2-garage house. what. i'm getting stressed out just hearing about it. tf you gonna do with all that space, bro? how you gonna clean all those bathrooms???

#he's like well i want one room for my home office and one room for my hobby and one guest room #add in a bedroom for him and that's still only 4 bedrooms? you have an entire extra bedroom????#plus an extra garage???#damn he thinks he's lonely now but dude just you wait until you spend every day ALONE IN A FIVE-BEDROOM HOUSE #trying not to project too much onto him but i really think this is absurd outside of my own preferences #he's been stressed living in his 1b apt bc his hobby takes up a lot of space #but i think this is just another example of his general propensity to treat the symptoms and not the disease #the problem is he's overcommitting & extending himself too much & he never finishes anything #that's what actually stresses him out #so him in a 5b house is just going to be him filling all that space with stuff until he's stressed again #anyway i have NO IDEA how to react to this because i think it's such a bad idea #i'm really bad at faking things i don't feel but i feel like it's too late to say 'wyd bro???' because apparently his offer was accepted #i did ask him how he's going to clean 4 bathrooms and he said he's just not going to use them #also it feels weird morally for a single (rich) man to buy an entire 5b house only for him in the middle of the seattle housing crisis #not like if he didn't buy it someone else would buy it and make it into affordable housing units so maybe it doesn't matter #still feels weird though and contributes to me not knowing how to react #if you have any advice for me followers...i am all ears #i've been really floundering on how to be a supportive friend to him lately #just really struggling with how to engage with him when it feels like he's his own worst enemy #and like it's not that he needs to have the same priorities as me it's just that he comes to me all stressed out and idk how to react #bc 'no shit you're stressed out. have you tried making completely different choices?' isn't a great option lol

this shit sucks. tomorrow is a stay in bed and set up a writing blog day. mend my clothes day. move some boxes day.

#looks like racist grandpa is weaseling into parliament with right wing and Extra Right Wing #so all three of these parties is gonna be a clusterfuck of a govt because they fucking HATE each othet #nats have only got themselves to blame got not scrounging up enough votes to make a majority without the fucking gutter scum #to bolster their numbers #i dont want to even begin to think about how bad the housing market is about to become now foreign buyers are gonna be able #to come in and buy holiday homes again while most people cant even afford to buy their first house #and no cause evictions are gonna come back #our new pms hero is david cameron and he raised his family in fundementalist christian organization in the us #before coming back here. taking over our biggest airline #and proceeded to either 1. actively make the decision to underhandedly sell plane parts yo the saudis #2. was so incompetent he didnt notice that his company was underhandedly selling plane parts to the saudis #and national went ''yeah this guy who runs away mid-interview when he doesnt like the questions and who is a doormat in debates will do''#we have a wet fucking mop of a bigot for our pm now and we're stuck with him for the next 3 years and THATS THE GOOD PART COMPARED #TO EITHER ONE OF THE RACISTS WHO ARE GONNA BECOME DEPUTY OM #*PM #hhhhfUCK

T-T oh how I wish I had been able to give myself a monthly hobby budget. A local yarn shop is hosting a sweater yarn dyeing workshop- 5 skeins for $125 CAD, extra skeins $25/per. It's cheaper than their in-house-dyed yarn! AND they still have room!

But alas, I have already pre-spent my birthday, xmas, AND my hubby's birthday budget (with his blessing) plus some of our expected tax return money on Hozier in August.

Plus groceries are going up so our wiggle room is gone. Over $1K CAD a month to feed a family of four! $75 is ordering out ONCE. And we do NOT buy brand names, fancy foods, or meat that's not on sale.

I really hope it happens again next year or something when I might be able to scrounge up some extra cash or I finally find a second job.

#vent post #please don't mind the money venting we're scraping by atm and I know a lot of ppl aren't #I just REALLY need to vent #I'm so lucky to have a job that has insurance bc our meds are $175/month with 90% coverage #and hopefully they start RRSP matching again bc that's the only thing we have going to savings atm for a down payment on a house #we need to buy a shitty house in the next year or two when we get kicked out of affordable housing for making too much #or we'll end up being lifelong renters where rent is easily $2k/month for a 3 bedroom illegal suite and only going up #it's my first ever RRSP or anything so there's only like $1k in there now and we're still dipping in and out of my overdraft #hopefully not for much longer now tho fingers crossed #I want to live somewhere where I don't have daily athsma attacks from an attached neighbor smoking indoors #and where we are allowed to paint the walls and have a dishwasher and clean the airducts and not have original 70s asbestos linoleum liftin #and have a working hot water heater we don't have to trick into heating multiple times a day

i seriously need to get a new job and start making money again asap bc i cannot keep living at home much longer it’s driving me insane

(wrote an entire essay in the tags without meaning to oops)

#i feel so isolated from everything bc i’m not in school rn but all my friends are and 90% of the ones who are in state go to the same school #so they’re all in the same town and here i am 45 minutes away #i never get invited to anything bc 1) my friends all tend to make plans really last minute #and 2) if we want to go out and drink - which we usually do bc that’s the stage of life we’re in rn - i’d have to stay the night with #someone bc i absolutely cannot afford a 45 minute uber home and most of my friends don’t like staying over / having people stay over #so i have basically no social life and it’s only gotten worse in the past couple months since i got laid off from my main job #not only did i love that job but i loved my coworkers and work was pretty much the only time i left the house and interacted with people #and without that job i can’t even do the little solo things i used to do to cheer myself up like go see a movie #or even just go for a long drive bc i’m broke (as in i have $17 in cash to my name and am like $1000 in debt rn)#so all i do is rot in bed all day and apply for jobs that i’m overqualified for yet still don’t get hired #i barely even leave my room bc i avoid my family which just makes me feel guilty bc i love my family #but they get on my nerves so easily and most of the conversations i have with my mom end in her lecturing me about something and me crying #and on top of everything it’s just straight up embarrassing to be unemployed and completely directionless about college and living at home #logically i know i’m still very young and it’s common to live at home when you’re 20 but literally none of my friends do #i had a couple friends who lived at home for the first 2 years after high school and went to community college but by now they’ve moved out #and they’re all at universities and either graduating this year or next year meanwhile the earliest i could possibly graduate is in 2 years #i should be finishing my junior year rn but i’ve only completed my freshman year #i hated the school i was at and planned on transferring sophomore year but long story short that didn’t work out #even longer story short i ended up doing a semester each at 2 different community colleges and failed all my classes both times #and took 2 semesters off so now i’m a full 2 years behind and even though my freshman year was miserable #i’m starting to wish i stayed at that school anyway bc at least i would be at a university and accomplishing something #plus theres a huge difference between staying at home for a couple years after high school then moving out later #vs living on your own right away then having to move back home after you’ve already experienced having your own space #and on top of everything i have an older sister who’s a literal genius and graduated last year #and a younger sister who just finished her freshman year at the school i hated but she loves it and got perfect grades and made friends #so they’re both thriving and here i am living with my mom and my 13 year old brother and just completely failing at everything #i’m just so miserable and obviously moving out again and going back to school wouldn’t magically fix everything #but at least i would feel like my life was going somewhere and i wasn’t getting left behind by everyone i know #i just have no idea how to move forward and i feel like ever since high school not a single thing has gone the way i wanted it to #vent

i'm going to see an apartment i really really like on wednesday (it is SO BIG! right in the neighborhood i like best! outside building is beautiful, on a tree-lined street, hardwood floors, so many windows!!) but i like. am trying to keep myself from getting too attached ahead of time bc it's just like a littleeee too expensive and i really should be realistic and get something about 100-200 dollars cheaper. but i love it soooo much, i want it so bad lmao.

#liveblogging life #it's a two-bedroom but it just squeaked within my budget #but plus utilities parking and pet rent (?) it'll be about 100 dollars over what i want to pay #and even then it's still on the upper range #like i can afford it - i double checked - but it means i'll have to be more careful with spending cash #and i'll only be able to put so much away in savings #idk man i'm kind of waiting until after i see it bc maybe i'll actually hate it in person #but it's going to be a serious debate on if i want to spend that much more on rent for a bigger beautiful apt #or if i'd rather save my cash on a smaller less beautiful apt so that i can buy other stuff and save for a house faster #bc like. i'm probably not going to move again for a while so wherever i go i want to make sure i really like it #and like this apt i have now i do really like but i did have to choose it bc i didnt really have any other options #whereas now i am pretty much an ideal renter so i think i have my pick of the litter so it means i can really afford to be choosy #idk idk this is stressful lmao #i have like eight showings scheduled for next week im hoping one of them seems like the one so i can go ahead and apply #also like if im going to end up spending so much on an apt shouldnt it be for an apt with a ton of amenities? like a washer/dryer #or balcony or community rooms or s/t. arghhhhhhh.

OH SHIT. my dad fuckin died today uh. rest in pieces dickhead 😘 time to CELEBRATE 🎉

#the bin #would it be messed up to buy a cake to celebrate him dying?#i used to joke about celebrating once he kicked it. he was a truly truly evil person. absolutely horrible.#yknow. usually when i receive shocking news like this im upset and like. wow i hope im dreaming. like when a pet dies or something like tha #because my grasp on reality is thin and i can barely tell when im dreaming or awame6half the time. but this time im scared i might be #dreaming and ill wake up and hes still alive.#i am stressed about the whole where im gonna live thing again tho #my mom cant pay that rent by herself so uh. that makes things difficult.#if i was there and i had a job then we could afford the rent together but as it is now. idk.#i doubt she will end up staying in that house longer than the lease. my aunt my help pay for the next months rent byt after that idk.#so that part really sucks but. idk what will happen.#its a shame i cant just go.there now and get a job and help with that. but i still have a lease here and rent to pay #well. i think things will work out #i mean. he barely brought in any money simce december so. maybe we can work something out until im there and working and can help #pay the rent. i think itll be ok. everything will work out.

#🐠.txt #vent #i need out i need out i need out #i hate that i can't seem to get anywhere with my donation posts #begging on the internet does fucking nothing for me but i have nowhere else to go #i have no friends irl nor any friends online who live close enough to crash by or something #even then thats a temporary solution #i hate how cruel this country is #i hate how cruel this whole fucking planet is #i can't have anything #and my familys ''planning'' goes nowhere every time #and they usually just brush it off for another year or two #until something happens Again. and Again #currently half the planning is just buying more shit to ''make the current house better'' and complicate getting out even more #as if we're not living in a rotting biohazard #and im not allowed to make a gofundme or anything for whatever reason . they dont trust me with it but won't do it themselves #i hate it here!!!!!!!!!!!! i Really do!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!#i wish i could just move with a friend or partner but thats even more money #and i think id be insufferable to live with tbh #but thats genuinely the only solution i can think of anymore. im never gonna afford my own rent or food from th commissions i rarely recieve #i literally can't get a job #i can barely stand longer than a few minutes #i dont even have middle school education much less anything further than that #i feel like im just doomed to sit here til i die

tbh at this point in the vote counting ive given up on hoping that prop 1 fails.

#personal #disappointing and infuriating how california will do anything in its power to draft up any prop that will hurt so many people #all to look like theyre 'fixing' the issue of homelessness when in reality all they are doing is just institutionalizing homeless people #no actual plans to house people. no plans to make housing affordable #no plans to take down the systems that time and time again target homeless people
