For vents I guess

Fuck I might have the virus. I'm so scared not for myself but for my family members in the house. I hate that I had to go to work when I should have been staying safe at home.

I’m sorry, that’s awful. Do you have or can you order enough easy/no-prep food and supplies to stay home for two weeks? Is anyone else in your household able to go out? If you’ve got more than one bathroom, see if you can lay claim to one for yourself. Do you even want advice, or should I stop typing?

I don't think I can lay claim to a bathroom. I do have a bandanna mask. Maybe that will work in keeping my germs to myself. I hope.

Are you able to get tested/at the point where you think you can get tested?

Either way, hopefully you can find a way to hunker down that won't put anyone else at immediate risk (though obviously that can be easier said than done-I live in a small apartment with my mom, so I know how hard it can be to get space). And whether it is this virus or just a general illness, I hope you get better as soon as possible.

MY ARMPIT WON'T STOP REEKING GOD WHY

Deodorant doesn't help, and I can only wash it so many times.

Just the one? Sounds like you might have been cursed. Did you piss off any canny old ladies recently? If so, you can either find some way to appease the old lady or find someone to break the curse for you.

If not, try baking soda. If that doesn't work, once the pandemic eases up, make an appointment with a doctor. It's possibly hormonal.

I'm in a relationship with another woman and at first the sex was great but now I have better luck on my own. I don't know how to bring this up

I’m sorry, that sucks. Speaking as an ace virgin, so I’m probably totally off base, “hey, wanna watch each other masturbate?” might at least get you in the neighborhood or bringing it up?

Also the whole world is kind of freaking the fuck out right now, so you have a possibly even true reason to say “I don’t know what’s going on, but I’m having a hard time getting off.” You could phrase it as “I’m even having trouble getting myself off, and I’m me, I should know what works.” Even if it’s not strictly true, it lets her know you’re having issues and it’s not her fault. Bodies are weird. So are brains. Good luck.

My dad decided I must have a fever today because I didn't want to go out on the porch because I was feeling cold. Yes, dad, I haven't been outside in a while. Yes, I know it is 70 degrees out there. No, dad. I don't have a fever, I have hormones. I get cold every time I would be getting my period if I still had a uterus. You know this. Do I really have to be explicit about it. Several times before you believe me? Ugh.

My dad is just so...unaware of what is going on around him sometimes. He gets ideas in his head and then can't understand anything that isn't going in the direction he wants things to.

There's a school of thought that suggests in times like this, what might help is calling out this behavior. Not in an accusatory way, just in a way that highlights what's happening, takes the focus off you and puts it back onto the person who's doing this.

"Dad, I've explained several times that I don't feel like sitting on the porch right now. Is there a particular reason why you keep asking?"

"Dad, I've explained several times that I don't feel like sitting on the porch right now. It's getting weird that you keep asking me."

"That's the third time you've asked me that question. Is there something else on your mind you want to talk about?"

"Dad, is there a particular reason why you want me to leave the house?"

Slightly snarkier:

"Why is it so important to you that I sit on the porch"?
"Didn't we just have this conversation two minutes ago?"
"I already answered that question."

Dads are weird. Mine decided today that he had to have ice cream and wanted to go to the store. I offered to go so he didn't have to be out, but he declared that I shouldn't go because my immune system is worse than his, acorrding to him. He's a boomer with heart and lung issues, I'm a millenial with no health problems. But I "get sick all the time" because I had the flu a couple months ago (although before that I hadn't been sick in years). My mom and I were both all WTF when he said that, but he refused to listen to reason. *sigh*

Girlfriend tested positive for corona. She's an A&E Doctor so it was always going to happen, and she'll be absolutely fine, but it's still shit news none the less. And means I can't be there for her (we live separately, and being key workers haven't seen each other for coming up to two weeks now).

That’s really shitty, and I’m sorry. It’s not much of a bright side, but since you haven’t seen her in two weeks, you probably weren’t exposed. Good luck to her, and to you.

I'm sorry to hear that, and hope your girlfriend has a quick recovery.

oh, I'm so sorry.

Hopefully she gets through it quickly. At least there's some evidence that you can only get it once a season.

Oh, I'm sorry. I hope she has a speedy recovery. And hopefully you can still find a way to stay in touch with her, texts or phone calls or something to help cheer her up a little.

Wishing you both well.

I have a chronic illness and I'm always in and out of hospital.

So I am isolating at home to avoid getting infected, but at some point I might have to be exposed to the virus anyway so I don't die. If I get the virus I will probably die. If I avoid hospital when I need to go I will probably die.

I think I might want to just stay home and die here.

What a cheerful thought.

I hope you'll be OK. Sending good thoughts and VERY VIRTUAL hugs.

My neighbor's baby will not stop screaming.

*is high*

*checks out FS*

*sees this thread*

*reads it*

*thinks, wow, why errbody so negative in here???*

*scrolls back up, reads title of thread*

*"Vent Thread"*

*oops lol carry on, wayward venters*

This isn’t a huge problem and I know it’s because my routine went to shit and I’m bad without them, but body, I swear to god you can exercise and don’t have to spend every waking moment on your ass and/or eating.

On a semi-related note, I had plenty of flour when the lockdown kicked in, but only half an envelope of yeast. “I know!” said I, “I’ll make a basic flour/water/yeast dough and treat it like a sourdough starter; I can keep it alive if I feed it every day.”

Well, now I have the Blob in my kitchen, and I’m turning into more of a blob than usual because I’m making bread and pancakes and stuff all the time and not walking for exercise nearly as much as usual.

Nah, I'm feeling that first sentence too. It doesn't get any better the older you get.

I've started taking more walks even though the weather here is shitty and timing them to be at least half an hour, but my gym is closed so I don't have access to all the space and equipment I'm used to. It's hard to excercize at home when you bump into furniture and there's nowhere to move the furniture because the rooms just aren't very big!
