Dogs really are something else, arent they? I cant look away from my little one here for a minute or she'll grab something and wander off with it. She grabbed one of my puzzles this time, the little weirdo. I performed the holy treat ritual though, and she deigned to give it back to me. This time.
My best friend attempted to take his own life tonight. I’m angry at myself for not being able to prevent it. I’m going to be pulling out of the rest of the hockey season and taking some time off from work so I can be with him and cope with this. So if I’m quiet on here and my replies are inconsistent that’s why. I’m a complete mess right now.

Please don't blame yourself for this. Contact a mental health specialist immediately first and consult them. Your support is very valuable but don't try to do everything yourself either. He needs professional support.

As others said - not your fault, even if maybe it feels like it partly is. Glad to hear that he has supportive family and friends, but it seems it is not enough for him to cope with his anxiety and OCD. He probably needs a therapist and some medications to balance things out. Wishing you, Peka and Levi a lot of peace and understanding in these times. Things will get better.

Thanks everyone. He is getting professional support in the hospital right now, and he’s getting medication and will be seeing a therapist regularly.
I know it’s not my fault. I just wish I could’ve prevented it.
I'm in such a vegetarian state maybe I will die in my sleep. I sure as hell won't be missed by anyone.

Extreme fatigue and vision loss can be serious side-effects of medicine that aren't safe to ignore. If you started a new medication recently, I'd call the office where your doctor works right away and tell them about it. While you wait to hear back from the doctor, I'd contact the pharmacy and ask to speak with the pharmacist about it.

I remember you saying there were older men and women who wanted to be your friend. Perhaps it's worth talking to them if they're still around.
The office/guest room looks so awesome, even if slightly like a teenage boy’s room lol

I still have the blacklight bulb I used in San Francisco in 1994-95. On Friday and Saturday nights I would turn off the regular light, turn on the blacklight lamp, open the window, and put a transistor radio in the window blaring Wild 107.7 which was the big youth music station. My window faced the street and an active prostitution area, lol.

Sitting on the windowsill watching the johns come and go while listening to the weekend party music mix show. Great memories.

That's the tidiest teenage boys room I've ever seen!
Twins are amusing sometimes.

I always wish I had an identical twin. I actually wrote a book (more like a series of short stories) about identical twin sisters. And yes, it was amusing. Lol
Can Forgiveness heal broken trust? I think that takes remorse, if there's been injury.

Forgiveness doesn't mend broken trust. You can forgive someone for their transgression but still not trust them anymore.

What mends broken trust is genuine remorse + rebuilt trust. It generally takes time for trust to be reestablished after it's been broken.

Thank you - that's how I feel about it.
I'm losing my vision now due to being socially ostracized. I am terrified and crying. Alone
No. One gives a damn. Things are literally getting darker.

Almost certainly caused by stress. Good news is it's completely reversible. See a doctor and In the meantime relax as much as possible.

Sorry, Tony. I am sorry you feel alone, and no one cares. Sometimes l think about this, but l have always been on my own, so l have come to expect this. I assume l will be alone. Not even sure even about the person who is with me now. Relationships are difficult, even for those who have been in them. Anyways, don't give up on your therapist.
After 3 days staying home I went back out today with a positive attitude. Big mistake. Treated like subhuman garbage now I feel like crap and suicidal i hate people and I hate life people can piss off

What happened?
This is actually not a filter, it’s the new lighting we just installed in my husband’s office.
He thinks it’s “Ah, a bit much,” but I like it. Lol
(Comes with about 10 different color settings, including “normal” ones.)
He thinks I’m crazy for liking the blue light, when his favorite color is mustard yellow… which, on this light, is pee-colored :P

Big ice storm last night. Not as bad as last year (lost power for 2 weeks, that time), still have power, but about half of Alpena is without power.

Drove into town - trees across roads, several with powerlines tangled in them. Found a gas station with power, and had to wait in line for 20 minutes.
This jacket hurt my wallet but it was worth it 😩
I also look like I’m cosplaying my husband lol. This is just what we both wear for farm work.

A viewing recommendation for you, an Aussie farm girl vlogging her daily life. Often interesting and entertaining, she's a bit of a character.

I'm glad you liked it, I thought you might find it interesting to see farming in a different climate - different challenges to deal with.
