Rants: Everyday Venting

[Alessia Starfurr]

To most, it probably looks like I'm having another honeymoon with Skyrim.
In truth, it's more like some kind of a rather bad coping method.
I don't feel good at all for a lot of reasons and wish I could go hibernate for the next six months or so.

Playing games is an excellent coping method though...

^I dunno if that's true in my current case.

Steam says my play time is at 81 hours for these past two weeks, which feels a bit excessive to me. (Sure, I only have school 2-3 days a week and am left with a lot of spare time on my paws, but there are other things I could and should be doing.)
It also seem to come at the expense of doing necessary things, like grocery shopping, cooking, cleaning, washing up and generally taking care of everyday stuff. My reasoning being "I can do that tomorrow, if I get hungry I still have *stuff* I could eat"
Once "tomorrow" rolls around, the same thing repeats.


I do agree it is a pretty good one when it's done right tho, I've managed to sort through stuff and turn things around from playing games before. And there are certainly far worse methods out there.
I just feel like it's not being helpful in my current situation. It probably could be once I'm slightly less of a mess than I currently am tho.

Hope you feel better soon trix


I'm sooooooo ready for the season to be over. I was originally scheduled to have a few days off and I was like well sweet i mean that sucks I'm gonna get crap hours but I could use time off to get caught up on things. Buuuut then I get a call for like the 5th week in a row saying hey we need you to work on your day off GAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH just leave me alone and switch to winter hours already

are you sure your alright Trix?

[Trixsie Vixen]

I'll survive. But I promise I'll take it easy.


I had to do stuff yesterday and I totally failed a basic parallel park. Twice.


It was so rubbish the first time I just gave up and drove off.

My diet has been going great, and I lost at least 70 pounds over the year. I'm now under the weight I had when I graduated high school; I'm still a fatty but clearly not as awful. But now I've been hovering around 195lbs for like a month and a half. It doesn't matter what or how little I eat, I'm always jumping around between 193 and 197 and it's really ticking me off. I'm not sure what to do about it.

[Alessia Starfurr]

that is probably genetics, not much you can do about that, some people are just born with a body that stores a little more fat than others, and some vis versa.

You know what really catholics my church?


I hate it when T.V. and movies use the myth that medication changes who you are completely.


For example, in the Simpsons episode 'The Good, The Sad, And the Drugly' Lisa gets depressed so Marge makes her take an antidepressant. Lisa does and then this happens: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JxkDytaDI0w


THAT IS NOT HOW THAT WORKS!


The myth that medication like antidepressants make you as high as a euphoric bird in space can really do damage to people who need help. Someone who may need medication and is suffering badly could assume from seeing tropes like this all over sitcoms and even serious dramas about or with a mentally ill person could make these people think that it is true and refuse to seek any help for fear of 'turning into something else'.

[Alessia Starfurr]

first of the all the simpsons thing is a comedy, it's suppose to be funny.

second yes depression medication doesn't do that, usually.

[Corran Orreaux]

The Simpsons was just an example, I am well aware it is just a comedy. But just because it is a comedy doesn't mean that it can't and doesn't handle serious subjects. My issue is with the trope in general, mainly when it is shown in things meant to be taken seriously and thus presents that as the 100% how it works truth.

I wish my dad would piss off out of my family's life so things can get better. I'm sick of sleeping on a blow up mattress in my brother's hallway. I'm sick of the abusive texts and I'm tired of him calling the police on us all the time.

[Inactive123]

Need to get something off of my chest


on my way home my mom was talking about how oppressive and prying my dad is and it honestly pisses me off so much I get this horrible feeling in my gut and I honestly hate it his oppressive behavior towards my mother is unacceptable and needs to stop

[Corran Orreaux]

Picked up Dishonored two after beating the first one (Yesterday as of posting this) Dis 2 is horribly disappointing. Loved the first game but this just lacks... care.   

[Cecilia Peromi]

I probably have no business posting here or anywhere for that matter since all I've ever done was.... Nothing... But anyway... here goes...

Essentially, my life stinks. I have a job now at McDonald's, and while it's not the worst thing in the world (at times I can even relax and enjoy it) It's very boring and takes too much time out of my day. It wouldn't be so bad if I didn't have school, college work can build up quickly, so my best option is to just take care of it as soon as I can, and while this is working very well, my real problem shows whenever I actually have some free time. You see... I don't have much of a social life, yes there are people I talk to, but very rarely, often times I'm just alone by myself, and I can entertain myself with videogames or YouTube, but eventually I just get tired of it. The problem is I have no idea what else I could do with my time. I guess I could do homework, but that's no fun, and I hate the idea of working nonstop. There are times when I get upset, so upset that I nearly cry. (I don't because it's usually at work) I feel like I have no purpose, I work so hard every day, but I'm not happy, it doesn't make me happy. Sure, all of this work will pay off eventually, but I'm miserable, sometimes I can see the bright side, and actually enjoy things. But obviously that isn't now. Here I am, at my computer with a game on one window and homework in the other, all alone, and having to deal with the fact that I'm being left home alone this weekend. I'll have to take care of the house all by myself. (my little brother is here, but he never does enough) It's the fact that I feel miserable here and now that I've come here. I'm not staying, I can't, but for right now... I could use some advice... I just... hope that this works. After all I've done here...
