my condolences for your loss.  i'm sure your family member would be proud of you finding joy in the holidays despite the circumstances

what are you dressing up as for halloween?  i'm so bad with costumes ;-;

[deliriousness]

I think I'm doing pretty well but i just watched Adele's new video for I Drink Wine and that song always makes me kinda sad. And the Itaewon tragedy has me a bit shaken up. It'll pass. On a side note, I find my appreciation for Adele deepening more and more this year.

How are you?

i remember enjoying adele's most recent album quite a bit but didn't end up revisiting most of the songs outside of oh my god and easy on me.  i should give it a relisten.  she definitely has a lot of good songs.

i'm recharging this weekend after a bit of a downward mood spiral towards the end of the workweek.  got my nails done, bought some shoes.  capitalism can't fix everything but at least i'll look like a baddie when this depression goes full-swing!

I’m not doing well at all tbh, my great grandfather is critically ill in the hospital and just got diagnosed with liver cancer (and he has already beat cancer twice) I am just so sad and heartbroken 

[Shinki]

I hit a deeper low recently and was very hopeless but that got better slowly, although I'm still not in a good shape at all. At least now I have a tiny bit of hope for the future (you would know why whispers elections) but yeah... I just don't have a stable ground at all it seems, everything since the pandemic became very fragile in my life

i can very much relate to feeling unstable.  even though you may feel fragile and hopeless...just know you are loved and appreciated by many and your own strength is what has carried you through life's adversities so far.  you know i'm not one to just say vague positive bullshit but honestly, i have all faith that things will get better for you.  so i hope you can have faith in yourself as well.

and whenever you need any support or even just a listening ear, you can always talk to me  love you friend

I'm just fucking tired.

[eunheart]

truth to be told, it's not really going well considering walking the pathway of my career. I still couldn't land a proper job to make a living, so I'm in quite a tight pinch. but if you're talking about my health, thankfully I'm still standing strong. things can be really difficult but for me to be able to keep it tight at a pace I'm comfortable moving is really a bless. also, as far less I'm engaging with everyone, I'm still thankful to see same old peeps I'm seeing everyday still being there in the discord servers and socmed-

I'm keeping myself on my feet, still fighting

felt that deep in my soul.  may you find adequate rest...physical, emotional, spiritual (if you're into that)...any and all of the above.

Kinda stressed? I've got to pack because I'm leaving for LA tomorrow and my phone needs to be fixed. I went to the library today and started having some anxiety over intrusive thoughts, but I feel better now I guess. And I have an assignment to finish but I'm debating whether or not I should just turn it in late because I don't have the time right now and it's not very important

And love troubles

i hope you enjoy your trip to LA!  packing is always so stressful ;-;  but hopefully your time there is worth it.

sounds like you know the gist of what you should prioritize re: time and academics.  you got this moodz

(love troubles...oh boy )

I feel like I’m both good and bad at the same time? My life is a hot mess right now, I’ve barely slept for weeks, and I’m very stressed, but I’m trying really hard to turn my life around and I’m finally seeing progress?

I find out tomorrow if I’m officially getting a promotion at work which would come with a good pay raise, and with that pay raise I’m saving up to hopefully move abroad sometime next year

I’ve also been trying to up my self-care game to manage stress and as you said: capitalism can’t fix everything but I feel like the first step to not being a hot mess anymore is to no longer look like a hot mess. Fake it till you make it I guess?

aghhhhh i hope you get the promotion!!!  your efforts shall be rewarded one way or another, best believe…if not now then SOON (but really really hope for your sake it’s now!)

yes yes yes i agree wholeheartedly!  giving off Ick will only make you feel icky.  as hard as it is when you’re nearing rock bottom…sometimes putting on the nice shoes or wearing the real pants will make you feel like you can take on the day

I kinda was on autopilot mode this week because there was so much stuff to do. Plus, I've been pretty tired the past few days... Idk if it has to do do with the fact I passed out on Wednesday and I probably hit my head since it hurts like sh*t (probably should have asked the people who found me lying on the floor how they found me but I was just worried with other stuff) so yeah I've been taking painkillers but I'll guess I'm going to the doctor If I don't feel better by next week.

So... My award threads are on standby in the meantime

Happy Halloween anyways... I mean my mood is good even if my body isn't cooperating rn

I passed out because I was too stressed since my mom was sick. Thankfully she's better and I'm not that bad thank god and hopefully just sleep and pills will help. Anyway,  I'll try to go to the doctor on Monday hopefully the clinic is open lol

Thanks 4 the advice btw, sometimes I wonder if I'm just overthinking things, guess my idea of going to a doctor wasn't that crazy?

I have had a hard month. I broke up with my boyfriend but we have stayed in contact and I am realizing if I stay friends with him we won't stay friends and we will just get back together and while that is not good for me it seems to be unavoidable unless I cut him off and I don't wanna do that. So I am in a bit of a pickle.
