Today was a good day.

I finished thesis revisions. Its ready to be sent out tomorrow morning to my committee. All that is left is to make a short presentation and prepare for January 21st defense.

Out of the blue I was essentially contacted by a recruiter for a job. Late last year I tried to get a job with this same company through a current employee referral. Hiring freeze killed that. But now independently, another current employee contacted their grad school adviser for recruitment of another position opening soon and they pointed them to me. This office would only be 40 minutes away instead of 3 hours. Talk about an easy relocation if it happens. Just got to not blow the interview. :|. I haven't interviewed in years.

Oh and I finished Outer Wilds.


Good luck! Everything sounds like it's falling into place.

Outer Wilds is a good game, I really should try that instead of Signal Simulator, which has been a difficult game to get the hang of...

I got absolutely no real help from my therapist today. I told him my depression is worse and that I want to die, and he just moved right along to distracting me by bringing up horror games. Which was fun, but not actually beneficial in any way except perhaps at that precise moment. Distraction only works temporarily, and he should know that very well, which means he knew he wasn’t helping me at all.

I hate to say it, but I think I might need to look into getting a new therapist. I like my current one, I’ve been seeing him for years, he knows me well, and he specializes in neurological disorders, but even after I’ve said something about it multiple times, it seems he just cannot stop treating our sessions like casual chit-chat. I’m not paying to catch up or to provide information about my various treatments for him to share with his other clients, I pay for therapy. I can understand a little catching up and ice-breaking at the beginning, but I’m lucky if we exchange two sentences about whatever issue(s) I’m dealing with during the entire hour-long session, even when I deliberately direct the conversation back that way.

I wonder if there's any subliminal messages for falling in love with January.

I hate subliminal crap. I feel like I'm not worthy of face to face conversation this people hate me. Which is probably partially me hating on why I can't understand why people hate me.

Thinking about getting a Stan subscription so I can re run watching re runs of house. YouTube is just boring now and all edited crap which makes things seem very very peculiar! :silent: :scratch:

Thanks! Hopefully it does. I'd rather not be unemployed and force us to winter the rest of the season in this tiny apartment.

Its an experience. I don't know what took me so long to play it.

I just realized that I’ve probably been experiencing burnout since a major depressive episode involving multiple hospital stays and ECT, among other things, a couple years ago and am only just starting to finally recover. So in part, it was the ECT that did this to me, but not directly.

I also for some inexplicable reason have the urge recently to stop talking much/at all and switch to primarily/exclusively non-verbal communication. I honestly have no idea why, it just seems like it would feel good to not be expected to talk.

I guess I won't need those subliminal messages. I'm going to like the months that I like.

Anything productive I should get to completing before something else gets in the way of things.

People who are incapable of getting friends are pretty much the opposite of people who keep getting bothered by offers of friendship & turning it down.

Fact they can't see that is a matter of ego & longing to fit somewhere.

Not sure if it's the pain killers causing the lack of pressure headaches and lower back cramps.

Or maybe I finally found a combination of coffee that actually calms my head down, despite that my hands are a bit shaky...

Or actually both.
I was a mess for like over more than 12 hours earlier.

Time for another break from the dump again, otherwise I'm just going to end up falling out with some f*****g idiots who hate themselves & get in trouble.

There's good and bad to that of course, they probably have greater freedom & sense of themselves as individuals. That's probably why they're good at forming friendships too - chosen families.

But I really like knowing my place in the family order & my interdependence with my extended family.

Mum wishes we were all closer. She wishes that she never left my hometown where I grew up and where she did. But we're in the same county now so she goes over and lives with granddad two nights a week despite not living in the same town.


I often wonder how to get a chosen family. I would totally love a partner who likes the same things as me. Except the chick I really liked I was told had died. :(

Least your not disowned by your biological family. The fact they hate me and lie to me disgusts me everyday. Why am I not worthy of anyone or anything. They don't even call me to talk to me. I'm a bad son and brother. Apparently I'm s**t c**t scum.
