I’m…one of my big struggles is that I’m on a medication that reduces my appetite to almost nothing, and I eat almost nothing, and I’m enraging my SO by doing so. Everything tastes gross on this. The smell of my husband’s dinner right now is revolting. I can’t seem to get around it. Even junk food that I normally love tastes like wax and dust to me.
I absolutely have to be on it, but holy fuck it’s hard on my life.
I saw this and my first thought was: oh no Elmo, that’s not a great thing to ask the internet…
Elmo thinks it’s important to be careful on the internet and only ask appropriate questions. Elmo wants everyone to stay safe and have a positive online experience!
I had COVID the day after Christmas and still feeling crappy. Idk don’t know if this is nornal. Doctors can’t find anything wrong with me.
At this very moment I need to take a break from work to lie down and take a nap, I am completely out of energy. I had strong headaches yesterday the whole day.
I just need this to end, I want to have my life back.
I hope you don’t have long COVID but it kind of sounds like it.
Thanks me too. It’s very weird how long it’s taking for me to recover but I honestly think it’s my fault. I didn’t rest at all during the time I was already sick to the point I even moved some freaking furniture around. Now I am paying for it. I also talked with the person who I supposedly got it from and he had it much worse to the point he had pneumonia from it and he’s also not 100% yet. It might just be this new strain. That said, another doctor prescribed me a strong vitamin thing which is making me much better. This week I will also have another set of exams and etc, so I am crossing my fingers there will be progress and this will end.
Small promotion for !casualconversation@lemmy.world where we have a weekly thread asking people how they are doing.
Also, I know it’s a Lemmy.world community, and they don’t have the best reputation among people on lemmy.ml, so if people would prefer to contribute if they community was hosted elsewhere, feel free to let me know, I’ll see if we can move it to a less divisive instance
On a strike. Early weekend is nice, but loosing money is not.
Hope your union succeeds!
I’m part of the management, so participation is voluntary. My union is not on strike, but is willing to support financially if one feels a need to participate.
Strike is political, so there is no specific group that would gain something.
Our current right wing gouvenment is on the leach of big corporations and is planning to severely neuter the union rights to strike. It’s gonna be a long spring.
Fucked up
Could be worse but could be better.
If the negative aspects were gone though, my week would be golden.
Its sad that these types of posts are always accompanied by a waterfall of unwell people.
Everyone is sad and stressed out man, we deserve better.
Huge opportunities are happening in my career but the stress of getting to that point and moving all the way across the country for it is about to fucking do me in. Coping with it but the cracks are starting to show. Thank God for my wife. She is all the support I will ever need but I’m worried she’s going to crack sooner or later as well.
I’m waiting for a kidney.
other than that, ehh. the world turns, the wind blows, and life goes on. same as it ever was.
Right now, thoroughly annoyed. Which is a lot better than a lot of ways one could feel.
I’m sorry to hear that. If you’d like, you can share more about what’s causing the annoyance, or if there’s anything specific you’d like to discuss or alleviate.

I’m sorry to hear that you’re not doing well. If you feel comfortable, sharing more about what’s going on might help, and I’m here to listen.

I’m doing pretty good right now. I feel like I’m better than I’ve been. How are you?
That’s great to hear! I’ve been doing okay, things have been up and down for me. Does Adam eat ass?
That’s a real philosophical question there.
Been worse. Been better, I guess. Most things in life are going apace.
My job is the best paying one I’ve ever had. It’s still barely keeping my chin above water. My skill set normally would command a much higher salary, but the market is shit, and I’ve been holding onto this because of a pension it offers.
But a few years in I see that the increases might not be sustainable if things continue as they are. And I’m not growing much.
Net good. Planning a trip for the fall timeframe that is going to take significant financial and physical prep. I’m realizing how much I’ve let work take front and center, and this trip is giving me a good kick in the butt to prioritize other things and chill a bit.
