Well, looks like we blew a head gasket in the car that 3 of us ride to work in. Had to drive home at 30mph on the shoulder. We are so fucked.

What horrible, terrible shit has happened for you recently?

My girlfriend found out she didn't pass the bar exam, which means more time with her living with her parents who don't know I exist because she's not out to them before she can get a job that will allow her to get her own place.

I'm sorry. :( Can she stay with you? Or is that not possible since her parents don't know?

I don't know how she would explain that to her parents.

Lots of peoe take roommates to be closer to a location, get a taste of adulthood/independence or start building a history if her name actually went on a lease.

No need to be all "I want to go live here so we can fuck without you guys knowing anything!" Plus, why does she have to explain anything? She's an adult.

That bites. Can she retake the exam?

That's the plan. It's only offered twice a year though, so it's going to be a while. At least her parents are being supportive about that.

Lame. :/

That is shit and the world is shit.

That sucks. :(

My aunt's dog Katie is being put to sleep today. Totally the sweetest golden baby you'd ever meet. :(

Awww, I'm sorry. Losing pets is so hard.

Poor puppy. It's great when your pets reach a ripe old age, but that just brings that last sad trip to the vet closer.

My mom may not qualify for the only decent treatment for her liver cancer, because her liver isn't quite healthy enough. Her other options are really nasty, not very effective chemo, or death in ~6 months. Here's hoping they let her get her blood work done again and it's better this time. (And that she stays sober.) Shit, why can't medical science just be 10 years further along, with 3D-printed replacement organs and genetically-modified-to-attack-cancer HIV and measles? I feel so bad for her.

Can she get on a clinical trial maybe? That might get her access to new experimental drugs. I'm sorry about your mom. So often the best we can offer is palliative care, and I know that's not enough.

nayrt

OTOH, sometimes palliative care prolongs a person's life beyond anything that was expected. Being comfortable and having your needs listened to, and being in the presence of people you love, can help a lot.

I may have failed a class by oversleeping today :/

There's an attendance requirement that I may have failed, though I'm not sure as there is one class I don't remember if I went to or not. If I went to it, I'm fine, but if I didn't... Well, that's it.

I have to send a mail to the person dealing with exams tomorrow, which may also require lying and say I was sick or something instead.

Resinking into the lowest point of my depression again. Nothing is fun anymore, I'm questioning my career choices again, and I just want the world to stop.

Eating, sleeping, and bathing all take so much energy. I feel like I'm only living for the tiny moments that make me feel remotely happy.

I hope you have more and more happy-ish moments. In the Hyperbole and a Half comic the hero's depression gets better after hitting the lowest point...

AYRT: Yeah that's one way to look at it. Once you've hit rock bottom for yourself, only way to go is up. Thank you.

It's, indeed!

Not me but to my brother. He's got aspergers and turns out he's being using drugs. We had to send him to the hospital secure ward after he went nuts over the week. It was scary, hallucinations and talking about being a martyr and seeing holes in space and drawing on his face . Turns out cannabis induced psychosis and he is at biological risk of schizophrenia. He doesn't believe the doc all yet but he's looking much better and healthier in the hospital.

I hope he stays away from cannabis after this

We went through a similar situation in my family. It turned out he was using it because he bought all the bull about it being 100% safe and better for you than medication for anxiety or pain. He ended up calling us as he was driving around, convinced he was being followed. We managed to get him to go to the hospital and hand the phone over so we could tell them what was happening, because he wasn't very coherent.

This is why I have such a huge problem with pro-cannabis facebook pages and websites. People reading them get the idea that it's a miracle cure with zero drawbacks and they feel safe using it. I'm sure it has medical applications that could improve quality of life for some people, but like any other drug, it can also be dangerous.

My best friend is of that mind set. And tbh, I believe her anxiety has gotten steadily worse since she started using. But I feel like I don't have the right or where withall to talk yo her about it. In fact, there's been quite a few more personal things I don't feel I can talk to her about anymore.

Yep. I did try to talk to him before this happened, but because he felt it was working for him, he got very defensive about it and refused to talk to anyone or think about cutting back.

I hear people shrug off the idea that it's addictive all the time, but I think psychologically if you've convinced yourself it's safe and it's doing you good, and you can't become addicted, then it can be very easy to stay in that mindset and ignore any problems it causes you.

I've noticed huge personality changes in people I know who use chronically. It's really sad, because I feel like I've lost my friends. I'm sorry you're going through that, too.

I had my routine dental exam and I have to get a tooth crowned, according to my dentist. It's going to cost over a thousand dollars.
