    So many books are getting returned that checking them all in is giving me a headache. :(

    I don't get the connection.

    Can you explain?

    The constant slamming sound when they fall into the book return and the physical exertion of checking them in then getting them to the right places.

    You don't feel physically capable of doing the job, it sounds like.

    How big is the book return?
    The one at our local library is about 2.5 by 3 feet wide.
    Recently there were some pillows placed in the bottom so the audiobook cases
    don't drop onto the hard surface and pop open.

    Petey vomited on my carpet and then I spilled an entire glass of milk after cleaning the former up. :(

    Any idea why he puked?

    Or what?

    A kid at the library carelessly threw a book in the air that hit both an ND person and her service dog.

    I never told anyone I don’t want them to not have a relationship so I think others can do the same for me.

    So, why give power to such people by letting them control your feelings? What you say is a common thread through your "woe is me" postings. Does that make you feel good? How are you going to develop boundaries and agency? Do you respect those people so greatly that you MUST listen to them? Don't listen to their cruelties because their opinions are worthless

    Why can’t I have a happy Friday for a change?

    I just don’t want to give up on getting a girlfriend.

    @Markness I just don’t want to give up on getting a girlfriend.

    Behaving kindly toward yourself has no negative implications whatsoever toward that intention.

    @Markness You don't have to give up at all. But focusing on other things is part of how you make progress to finding a girlfriend. Enjoy being you! Practice that guitar and try to learn new songs and techniques. Make doing so your "you time" and be darned selfish about it. :)

    I mourn for what should’ve been my best years (18-30) and think maybe I really do need to kill myself?

    I am over 40 and I just now am getting my life together seriously. Don’t lament the wasted time, build a better life for yourself today.

    Dude, you gotta do something about this. Question: Have you talked to your therapist about this loop of negative thoughts?

    Who told you that your 'best years' would be the ages 18 through 30?
    Markness
    I found out that I forgot to take my medications in the morning.

    Yeah, that happens to most people who take daily medications once in a while. Not a good thing.

    I take six medications plus vitamins twice a day and sometimes in the morning I forget but I take them later if it's not too late.

    Can I still change my life around at my age and with my current circumstances?

    You can, but the change has to come from you.

    Markness, even if everyone in the world felt sorry for you, that wouldn't fix the situation. Said the doctor examining the little kid that ate his pocket money, "change must come from within."

    It’s almost midnight and I still haven’t eaten dinner yet. I can’t eat until my GI issues calm down.

    Listening to Neurosis’s Souls at Zero since the weather is rainy and cold.

    Sunny here. High of 41 expected this afternoon.
    Should melt the ice from the road.

    Road was slush and hard packed snow.
    May get some accumulation Thursday. Up to 7 inches
    is the current forecast.

    Was warm and sunny today. 42 degrees.

    It warmed up today and my allergies started acting up.

    I finally defeated the gargoyles but my character died from poison after scoring the death blow on the last one. Fortunately, the game saved before the poison killed my character.

    I return to the library today.

    I’d love to work in a library but I would have to re-train which is not always possible. Still, I can make do my own library at home.=D Really interesting that you work in a library.

    I have been there for 16 years now. Why I’ve stayed for so long is a very turbulent story.

    Get a corncob pipe & some Ray-Bans and go in like MacArthur--I have returned!
    I'm studying in a library today. It's quite nice really.
    Markness
    I guess people here do want me to give up on my hopes and dreams. :(

    @Rodafina I don’t mean every single person here. I just know that there are some who dislike me and don’t want me to get better.

    I think this is an excellent topic to present to your therapist.
    The focus on the feeling that people dislike you and wish you harm.
    Wouldn't you like to know how to deal with that without constantly
    repeating it to yourself and making yourself angry and unhappy?

    You are the person who wants to give up on your hopes and dreams by listening to others. Why?
