a week or two ago, i knocked over a glass of water, and i
think also a mug of tea, and a 10tb drive was in the blast
radius, spent hours copying 25 crusty old hard drives to
that and it's only like three months old and dfjgjdkfgjk
FUFUFUFUFU

obviously got it dry as quick as possible, but resisted the
urge to power it up. let it dry out more thoroughly, at
least overnight. so i have no idea if it's fucked or not and
i leave it on a bookshelf to dry and i'm just pacing and
twitching and occasionally going dkfjghkJGFHKD FUCK please
don't be toasted

did you have a car to cover those five miles?

fuck sake that really is a nightmare!

no i had to walk back at a very brisk pace, it was my sunday
walk with my brother, i didnt actually panic that much,
truth be told, the more serious things are the less tendency
i have to panic, i think i have alot of resolve, i wasnt
always that way but life changes you

i don't really have a lot of cause to panic nowadays, life
is pretty sedate / predictable. i used to get anxiety
attacks when i was in my teens quite a bit, and went through
a period of getting the shits every time a girl i was after
texted us. cool i know. though it was nowhere near as badly
as later on when i was living in that homeless hostel and
munching benzos like fuckin pacman. don't fuck with your
gaba receptors guyz

i felt a low level feeling of dread in tescos when this all
started just the weirdness of it all, plexi glass screens, i
wasnt worried about my health i just never liked being in
closed spaces with strangers, and this just made it worse

i know what you mean, when i say life is predictable that's
aside from the slow-motion catastrophe of corona. if i was
working or caring for someone and suddenly in jeopardy
(financial or otherwise) i'd be shitting it. this place is
insulated from it in a lot of ways

Points: 23981 Status: Addict



that's why i asked "how much panic"

i don't think i've ever really had a full-blown anxiety
attack. it's more a dull ache that permeates my whole life
via a steady stream of random moments. i'll be in the shower
and get that stabbing "i left the oven on" feeling about,
like, oh, shit, i think i missed the deadline for paying
my credit card.
sometimes i have trouble getting out of
bed in the morning, but other times one of those will hit
me, and i'll fly out of bed like the house is on fire

it's not too terrible, but a lot of the time i'm just
telling my brain: shut up, shut up, stop it, this isn't
helping

so maybe it's not a dull, permeating ache so much as navi
going "hey, listen!" in ocarina of time

back and never got out of brixton until my holiday was over

i'm quite lucky with my mum, she had me pretty young and
remarried about 10 years back. if one of them is ill the
other can look after them, keep their spirits up etc. i
think loneliness is so harsh on older people never mind
other health biz

that day was awful, it looked like half of the black
community underwent sodomization as punishment for their
sins

they were around like zombies in resident evil, truly
destroyed bumholes or serious hernia problems for the most
of them

have i ever told you about the floor tiles conspiracy i wind
up everytime i go to london

much better to go around in flip flops rather than shoes
with all those concrete bubbles

What is wrong with him, Rustie?

And to all my fellow XLTrepidationists, I hope sunshine and
good things come your way.

Me, my left eyebrow is nearly bald from compulsive plucking
due to nerves. I was able to hide it with the upper rim of
my glasses for a while, but I think people are starting to
notice. :/

when i was, like, i dunno, twelve, i begin to yank out my
eyelashes, and then touch the liquidly follicule end to my
top lip. for some reason, i found the cool wetness of it
incredibly satisfying. eventually, my parents noticed, and
there was arguing, fuck off, let me touch my eyelid
follicules to my lip

eventually, i relented, and broke the habit fairly
quickly... mostly... but they're less liquidly than they
were during early-year yanks, and it's not as satisfying as
i'd ever hope. so i generally force myself to toss them,
even still, should i pull a few out cleaning out my
eyelashes.

my father used to do something with his fingers to make the
cartilage in his ear make a resounding POP noise, and one
day, i asked him: hey, how do you do that?

he said: "i'm not going to tell you, because then you won't
be able to stop doing it."

a year or two after my eyelash debacle, i caught him in his
office, doing touching an eyelash follicle to his lip. i
gave him some shit, but in that moment, i completely
understood why he didn't want me to tell him how he did the
thing with his ear. i still don't know, and it's probably
for the best

after you touch the cool tip to your upper lip you gently
bite down in the middle of the follicule with your toof and
enjoy the texture of it

He found an old neuroleptic I used to take years ago. Dunno
where he found it. It’s very strong stuff and he’s not
even three kilos. We were playing on the bed and suddenly he
started screaming really loudly. Two minutes later he was in
a coma in my bed. Rushed him to the emergency cet (was a day
off) and after a while they said they couldn’t say if he
would make it. He stayed overnight and the vet was very
sweet as she didn’t leave him at the clinic but took him
home with her. She even made him a coat out of one of her
husbands socks. At 3 am he came out of the come and 14 hours
later we went to pick him up. I had just lost my previous
dog, and he died on my bed at the same place Babu (my new
dog) fell into a coma. It was nightmarish. He then started
having a mild bump on his head and the other day a while
lump of skin just detached from his head. Called the
emergency vet (was Easter) who said not to panic and that it
could wait until I saw my vet. Seeing him tomorrow. I’ve
been putting some antiseptic cream on the wound and it’s
healing quite well. He’s in great spirits so hopefully all
will be well. Thanks for asking!
