Our internet went down an hour ago and I have to contend with the crappy metered connection in my phone. Really strange feeling how isolated I suddenly am. Took a while until all my family member’s phones switched from wifi to mobile.
My laptop, which is my usual connection to the world, is still out. Guess I’ll open up a hotspot. Until all my data is gone.
Very humbling.
I hope you’ll be okay! Maybe you can brainstorm some other solutions to have ready for the next time it happens, to keep you busy? Perhaps some magazines since they’re not too heavy and tend to be light in content as well.
Is there anyone you can call for a chat? Five minutes or so would probably help your mood if you are up to it.
And this kills you how?
I am literally too weak to do almost anything besides binging stupid YouTube videos. When that’s gone I might as well be dead.
Sounds like some serious depression. May I suggest cat hunting in your neighborhood? Find kitties, and give em some treats and pets
Sounds like some serious depression.
It’s not.
I don’t know that this terseness and tone is helpful when someone is clearly feeling at a low point. Sometimes people are just reaching out because they don’t know what to do, and have lost perspective because they’ve become isolated.
how’d you get tone from 5 words of text…
also, I asked a question to better understand what they are saying, but fuck me for wanting to know right?
Not everything is an attack. Stop putting your emotions into someone else’s words. Looks bad on you.
I am sorry I’ve offended you. I’ll take what you said seriously and watch myself closely in the future to make sure I’m not projecting.
What I was trying to say is that I think it’s good to take extra care choosing words and approach when someone is having a hard time. Maybe you did do that, and we just disagree about the result.
