i stayed up to 3AM and am regretting it.

[Neonivek]

So I've been trying to get my mom to contact my old psychiatrist in order to find out what my old medication was that worked VERY well because otherwise I'd be on drug trials for possibly years!

I kept asking her for it over and over again and she avoided it on and on. Years gone by.

I finally get somewhere today and OOPS! She retired this year!

-_-

[Frumple]

May still able to get access to the records, mind. Either whoever took over for her or whoever inherited the records are not entirely unlikely to still have 'em around. Can also give a go at contacting anyway; send a snail mail letter or somethin' to make it less intrusive. Apologize for interrupting the retirement, ask if she happens to remember or could direct you to whoever might still have the records, etc. Ain't been stopped yet, just stymied a bit.

... anyway, that feeling when someone asks you to look over some paperwork, and you notice that for the last year or three family has been paying for license plate renewal on a car that's about as much burnt out husk as car. Like, we're not talking "oh, there's some fire damage" we're talking "most of it outright unsalvageable, probably not worth selling for scrap metal". And they were keeping the plate up to date. I kinda' understand (as in, it's been justified to me as that, but I haven't actually checked the net costs involved) there can be reason to do that if you're expecting to get a new vehicle soon-ish and intend to transfer the thing... but it's past soonish by several months, and they have neither the finances nor intention for getting another one. Not without doing stuff that, if they were inclined to, I wouldn't be dealing with this to begin with _{hoarding behavior can go straight to hell}

Seriously need to figure out what to do about this kinda' thing. I'm not in good enough shape to keep overwatch on 'em by with the amount of help I've been getting... especially without power of attorney/full financial access. Rough bit is if this shit keeps up, and it shows no sign of slowing down (rather the opposite), this bunch of the family's probably going to get in a bit of a spat getting that from 'em within a year or two. Folks in question still think they're mostly competent, and that's increasingly becoming less true and more cognitive degeneration causing them to think they are. Double bonus(?) points it's kinda' happening to me, too, with less delusion and more slow building despair

Checked the moderation logs out of curiosity, and while I probably knew about most of them beforehand I was kind of shocked to see how many veteran Bay12ers have been banned in the past year or two. Sadness.

2016 was a bad year. Luckily, 2017 looks to be on track for a more 2013-esque rate.

No matter what corner of life I look in, everything is dumb. Not bad, just really, really stupid. Imagine a useful appliance with baffling, nonsensical design decisions that makes the whole thing almost not worth it. Like a microwave that has a spot for attaching a keychain, or a padlock that has the combination engraved on the bottom, or a booklamp where the light was attached backwards so it points away from the page. That's what the human condition is, just incompetence and things that don't work.

Come to my corner. We have blackjack. And hookers.

Did you pay for it with insurance?  They might have kept records (disclaimer: I have no idea how that works).

Wanted to tell the dude who works at the local supermarket and who I occasionally see at gigs about an excellent show on this evening, but he didn't appear to be working there when I went to to my grocery shopping. Alas. Oh well, if his finger is anywhere near the pulse he'll know about it already.

I just realized I didn't tip the server when I went out earlier this week and I feel really bad about it because it was delicious and the service was great. I just blanked because I almost never eat at a proper restaurant.

I didn't notice I was studying too hard until I needed to run to the bathroom to stress vomit.

[itisnotlogical]

Way too hot out, my allergies are going apeshit and Claritin isn't helping, too many god damn people yelling and bringing their awful turd little kids with them. It has been summer long enough, can it please be winter again?

[TD1]

Weeeeeeed

Edit: Actually, I just realised that this could be construed as suggesting I do weed - I don't. A work colleague gave me a lift to McDonalds during a break, and the thing stank of the stuff. Consequently, my return was marked by a certain aroma.

Work was rough today. Didnt get everything done either. And i might have to do overtime now that a coworker has a hernia and doctors orders to do nothing for basically a month

[Avarice]

I just read a good part of your response to me and great order.
Sorry if I shoe boxed you, I was just posting to help in a way and to try fit in.
My post came from personal experience and im not a good enough writer to create long understandable paragraphs.

Its just I used antidepressants and while they worked I became tolerant and I fell back into depression harder.
I had to work on my issues physically and change a big part of my life.
Yes I'm in that boat, but only cause I capsized, we are all different though that's what makes us great

Neon, you probably wont even see this apology but its here if you do.
