I just wanted to say (the feelings soapbox thread)
I'm beyond all levels of miserable today. Kind of hoping owning it and giving voice to it helps me turn it around
 I'll let you know how that goes. Or if I don't.... it didn't go well...If there's anything you just need to say...have at it

I just wanted to say I hear your misery and I hope it gets better. I was so miserable/twitchy/irritable last night that I actually had to leave my house (and everyone in it) and walk around the neighborhood by myself for upwards of half an hour. It only helped a little. But today I do feel better, and I hope you see a better day tomorrow, too.

I hear you, but you need more than that. |

When misery sets its sights on me, I leave too; but, I do it with style...

monster, I see you clearly in my mind's eye and I wish things could get easier for you
As for myself, I'm losing my motivation/ability to stay in touch, which I was the worst at to begin with. I'm not good at telephone, my socialization was always to occasionally be in the same room with people. It's like drifting away from shore, the old life is getting smaller and more distant.

tbh I don't know what a "virtual fork" is. It's like a skype meeting?? would it be advisable to maybe change the name of the thread??

It is a zoom meeting trying to re-create "plastic forks" a real life meeting which I always avoided one way or another. This is easier. Limey is your guide.

Mind you, by the time a new word or phrase has come to my attention, it has usually acquired the tag [archaic] in the dictionary. Anyway, I think that I can now safely dismiss the possibility of Virtual Forks being a town in North Dakota.

 Thanks all. I did eventually get my shit together. I did the requisite check-in for unemployment online, made a business call and acted on the outcome, went out and picked up prescriptions and milk -masked and gloved much as I hate it-, decorated the cake for my 21-today Bday Boi, rummaged out some half decent steak from the freezer that was definitely in need of eating and cooked it half-decently and served with rice, asparagus, mushrooms and onions (not one of those dishes was butter-free), then we did cake which had sparkly candles and was lit using the awesome fire-breathing dragon lighter birthday boy made me for christmas, so I got there in the end (just -we sat down to eat at 11:11pm)
