Day 4 without coffee. I’m proud about that.
Bought some new straps for my watch.
Listening to Nina Simone.

They might have thought you were overqualified for the assistant job.

Good morning @Jonathan!
Did you quit coffee completely? I drink one cup in the morning and perhaps one at lunch time.
I myself am having a minor mid- life crisis. I wish there was something I could do about my situation but there isn’t. I am getting older and I am still very sick. I just have to accept certain things.
How are you today?

I was wondering the same thing. Considering I haven’t set foot in a real lab in 16 years I’d be okay with starting at the bottom and working my way up, though. I thought it might even be a good idea for me, but I just have to try to be patient as I wait to see if they offer me an interview for the higher position.

Yes. 0 coffee. I just drink tea.
I know what you mean. You have to first radically accept where you are and take it from there step by step.
I’m doing reasonably well this morning. I had a good nights sleep.
I hope you find a way out @Speedy !

Yes, I’m probably going through depression and have some grief but that’s life I guess. I’ll see where I can go from there.
Thank you!
How’s your new straps for your watch? Post us some pics??

They are fake leather ones from Temu. They only cost 7€ a piece.
I ordered them today and it usually takes a week or so before they arrive. So, it will be a while.
Depression sucks. I have been there.
I hope you can talk about your grief with your family. That might help.
You know what they say: ‘a shared burden is half a burden’.

I can’t sit still. My whole body is in motion. Not pacing but arms and legs are all over the place. Tried sleeping but too many intrusive thoughts and emotions going through me.
Took another gabapentin.
Dad is up drinking at 2:30 AM. Whatever! I have to take care of myself first.
Hope I am not experiencing an f’d up version of catatonia.
Have music on.

I normally don’t talk to anyone about my current issues. Only on this forum.
It’s the negs making me depressed. I have wasted so much time being in this condition.
The mid- life crisis makes me sad. It’s what it is. It’s just a phase I guess.
My sister orders stuff from temu all the time. It’s a great marketplace.
I ordered new earplugs for my headphones. Hopefully they will fit. Otherwise I won’t be able to use the headphones.
What are your plans for today?

Nothing special. It’s my last week here and I’m taking it easy.
I think it could be good to talk about it. Maybe start a thread on this forum in case you haven’t yet.
That way you can get it a bit out of your system.

I was addicted and drinking 10 cups a day. It can’t be healthy and I don’t like the feeling of being addicted.
I’m unable to reduce, so it’s all or nothing and I choose nothing!
I’m only going to drink coffee outside of the house, but not at home.
