The Not Happy Thread

It is my honor. I'm glad it helps.
Experience and some insight is all I have, kiddoes.
It's there for any of you if you need it.

Peace and Love to the brothas and to the sistas. Peace and Love.

 

Been working with Star Wars toys all day.

Not a big fan enough to use the force, I'm afraid.

 

Some days all I want to do is go to bed and not wake up. It's a crap feeling and it'll eventually pass.

 

God, I know what that is. I give in, sometimes, and actually get in bed and close my eyes. Nowadays, I set an alarm of, like twenty-five minutes. It's like making the world go away, but promising to come back and re-evaluate. Write about it.

 

This was me, too, for a few years.

Do you want to talk about it?

 

I used to wade daily through this when I was in my early 20s and it's a right pain.

If I knew fully what was causing it, I would. I think it's honestly several factors of my current life currently overwhelming me (crap job, not going to have a way to pay bills, perhaps a relapse of depression, etc.)

Thank you, though.

I took a mini-snooze and it was nice, but I'm looking forward to about nine hours of sleep before tomorrow morning, lol.

 

I may have lost everything in this computer crash...

 

I know the feeling - although maybe it's just lack of sleep. I haven't had a proper night's sleep since I started sixth form. I used to have naps, but I don't have time for them any more.

Which brings me to my Not Happy. I'm working eleven hours a day in order to revise everything I need to and teachers keep wanting to organise revision sessions. They're all very well and good, and I need them, but they throw my schedule off so I have to catch up in the evenings. I've already missed off three practice essays and I'm about to lose three whole days. I'm working constantly, but at the same time I feel like I'm not doing enough. I'm so tired and stressed, and I'm not sure how much I'm actually taking in. I certainly produced some very shoddy work last night. The problem is, if I take a break, I can't get back to work, so I need to maintain momentum. It's made me fractious and grumpy and I've got more violent, I suppose. That's not quite the right word, I haven't actually been hitting people. I've just been slamming things down, tearing things open, etc. Last night, I ended up shredding a pencil case I've been using since I started high school (that's seven years, for those of you across the pond) when it wouldn't open. It was quite satisfying at the time, but now I just feel really sad. It was only a pencil case, but I've had it for so long, it feels like a massive loss. There's no way I can put it back together.

 

You may not believe it, but what I'm about to tell you actually works.
Find a clear space, jump up and bring your knees up close to your chest, kinda like jump-rope. Don't stomp, it's a non impact excercise, as opposed to walking or running, It's a great way to dump adrenalin, and doen't require going out in the dark. Try 5 or 10 jumps to start. People from my camp group used this to warm up from the chill, too.

 

Suck, that just totally fucks! Was it Windows 10?

 

@EstherMayRose That sounds tough! =/ Is there any way to tell them that you need just a moment?

 

Slept about....twenty minutes last night. With so much to do today, I'm wondering how badly this day will go....

 

No bueno.

 

An Amber alert just woke me up. Not sad about the wake up, sad that a child has been kidnapped. Here's hoping they catch the fucking bastard.

 

Typically it's a custody dispute with the parent who doesn't have custody taking the child... hopefully. since typically the child will be fine in that case. So here's hoping to that or at least some sort of misunderstanding. But, if not. here's to catching the Fuck.

 

Yeah. Looked into it and found this,

http://www.wivb.com/news/state/body-of-missing-mother-found-son-still-missing/1198358646

Not happy about the murdering of the mother or the kidnapping of the son (Fucking hell), but at least it isn't the other option.

Edit - I think his claims of her dying at home are bullshit.

 

Well that's fucked up, yeah I bet it was a coincidence.

 

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

 

I might be too late but... don’t do ANYTHING. Don’t reinstall anything, don’t install any recovery software... power off the computer and don’t turn it on again.

Data can almost always be recovered but only if it isn’t overwritten by more data. So turn the computer off and call a professional.

Edit - hope that didn't come across rude or patronising... I just wanted to write it as quickly as possible and forgot about manners

 

My coworker is dating this guy. Everything was going great, and they decided to move in together....

So anyway, he has this dog. It’s a two year old female pitbull. It turns out that the dog is completely untrained. He keeps her inside the house 24/7. He keeps her kenneled whenever he is gone, and he’s rarely home— he’ll often be gone 12 hours straight, leaving her like locked in the cage. He does not walk her, ever. She is not potty trained at all. He can’t let her out of the cage because she’ll destroy the house while he’s gone. So she’ll often be forced to go the bathroom inside her cage, and then she has to sit in it until he gets home hours later.

I feel so terrible for this dog. My coworker told him (the boyfriend) this isn’t okay; he needs to get the dog potty trained, he needs to walk her everyday, and he can’t keep her locked in a cage 24/7. He won’t do it.

We have a local no-kill shelter. It’s overcrowded, but at this point, she’s so neglected the shelter would be a serious improvement for her. But he refuses to give her up because he “loves her.”

Smh.

Fucking lazy. “Love” is not neglecting someone. Imagine a mother saying she loved her child, but she refused to feed or clothe it. Absolute bullshit.

 

My stomach is in knots and my palms are running like a slumlord faucet. Author interviews should come with a barf basin.

 

Ooh, good luck on your interview! I’m sure you’ll do great just breathe, maybe do a little dance to loosen up and get some of your energy out.

 

The funny thing about my dogs... the one we were told to never leave out while we’re away is the only one we can trust to not destroy the place while we’re gone.

 

Yes.

Nope, spot on. I have tried all the ways to start in safe mode, but nothing drastic yet. I think it looks like I can get the hard drive pulled and the data moved over to my external HDD, it definitely has the room available.
