Rants: Everyday Venting

[Grey]

I've £15 in my wallet and £10 in savings. I don't get another £30 until the end of this college term. One meal costs about £2.80 and I need a bare minimum of two a day (small foods) so that's £5.60 a day. Each term is about two more months longer. In just 5 or so college days that money is used up. It's my only income and I still need to buy clothes, painkillers, hygeine products and such.


I'm completely out of money.

Is there not this thing called foodstamps? Or maybe like a foodbank or something? :\

We have the latter in the NL. People can turn their (almost) expired food items in to have it distributed to peopel who really can't afford it. I've heard they had something similair in the US?

I hate having manic depression. One week, I'm happy and full of hope. Then the next week, <REMOVED>

So my right hand suddenly stopped working: lost all feeling in my fingers and around the wrist I have a rather high amount of pain.
After arguing I decided to go the doc, turns out that I have, in worst case scenario the Carpal tunnel syndrome

[Brisky]

I just hope that the "carpal tunnel syndrome" isn't gonna involve your hand somehow not being attached to your body anymore. :I

Or it growing a conciousness of it's own, and eventually resulting in your political downfall... But that only happends in movies.

Basically it means that the main nerve in my wrist is pinched and this is causing that I've lost strength and feeling in my fingers (imagine the feeling as putting your fingers in the freezer) whilst everything around my wrist is sending signals of pain and from my wrist to shoulder I have sometimes have tingling sensations followed by pain

[Brisky]

That pain isn't soo bad that it makes you wish you had no hands, eh?

[Bricket]

Well if I would get rid of my left hand I would be All right.
But seriously: it hurts alot

[Brisky]

Darn... That blows... :c

Did they at least give you painkillers?

[Bricket]

Yeah, the heavy kind ofcourse.
Being right handed and thus forced to use your right hand, it's not a fun experience

[Brisky]

Well, I really hope you get better soon! Hang in there, eh? c:

[Bricket]

Hands off the best advice, thanks

Hey it could be worse  at times my left hand goes numb and slows down in reaction then half my mouth stops working. It's migrains caused by my brain cancer.

[Dazed]

Oh man where did all my friends go

Oh yeah. I pushed them all away. Damn.

^ Also jeez.. sorry to hear ;s

Hands off the best advice, thanks

I'm guessing it might be too late to exercise that hand in order to recover it or save it from further damage? I see online that there's a few exercises to help it. Hope that helps and hope your hand gets better. (Unless that's already what you're doing )

As for myself... I might sorta decided to bombard myself with college courses for the last semester. And when I say bombarded. I mean I have seven classes basically. (Which wouldn't be so bad if they were an hour long each day. But two of them take 4 hours once per week. And one takes three hours for one day) XDDD Oh boy. Bright side is that basically if I pass this and make it into Cooper Union. They can't possibly throw anything at me that I can't handle. (Quick someone pass me wood to knock on, I can't jynx myself this early. lol) Not to mention I expect to be catching a bad virus soon. I haven't been really sick for what seems like two years. (Just small things like a runny nose or some bad coughs.) So I expect to be getting something awful during Spring. And when I get it... I'mma miss like 5 classes for getting sick for three days (Which is usually how long it takes for me to recover). XDD
