Despite yesterday's 'good' news, I still feel like the worst sort of human being imaginable today because I let this spiral out of control, and because I can't solve the problem immediately. Vulnerable and ashamed.
Sorry for dumping my off-QBN drama on you guys like this. Guess I've just got no-one else I can talk to about this.
- Honestly - and this may sound perverse - it's good knowing I'm not the only one having a shit time of things, so thanks for spilling your heart. Good luck!detritus
- 'Good for me' :)detritus
- Thanks ... to you as well ... :\Continuity
- Continuity, everyone has their low points. You just don't hear about it. I surely have. This is your wake up call. You can plush through.shellie
- Open up your job options and you'll be fine. You can look for that big CD job while you get above water.shellie
- Same. It's so easy to think we're unique in our struggles. I'm terrible at doing this, but, you need to be positive about yourself and not take thatFax_Benson
- disappointment with yourself into your job searchFax_Benson
- What fax said! Feeling down about yourself mighty be a huge part of the problem.shellie
- Unfortunately, feeling down about myself is justified. I caused this situation to happen. I'd had plenty of opportunities to prevent it. But my pride got me.Continuity
- And now I really am in the shit. Especially knowing I'll be on the hook for court costs, etc, if it gets that far.Continuity
- I've had the lowest, saddest few months of my life, if that makes you feel any better :)
Probably not.set - With that comes lots of opportunity for growth and learning about oneself, at least.set
- Sounds obvious but how come you couldn't have just got a shitty average job to keep you going? Not really any of my business but...set
- Ashamed as I am to admit, set: good old fashioned stubborn pride, and some weird fear that if I did that, I'd never get back into advertising again.Continuity
- Unfortunately, I had my awakening too late, and I'm going to pay dearly for it.Continuity
- My partner's just taken a job at an Ad Agency after 5 months of not getting her usual roles. Thing is - I think it's a great job, haha. Can't tell her that thodetritus
- ..she's doing the same sort of thing she usually does, just not in the usual milieu. Better money too. And less assholes, or at least differently-flavoure...detritus
- Just spoke to my landlady: she's agreed to call off the dogs for a month, after I showed her my job-hunting progress and the appointment for social assistance.Continuity
- I'm going to do my fucking damnedest to get this debt cleared in 30 days.Continuity
- People hounding you over money can be the most stressful thing but at the end of the day it's just money...you still (I'm hoping) have your health.yuekit
- Well, my psoriasis is flaring up on just about every part of my body, and I really need to see a dentist but, yeah, I'm more or less healthy.Continuity
- Psoriasis is obviously stress related, but that's because stress makes the body acidic...set
- Eat lots of green vegetables and drink a teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda in a pint of water once a day and cut out coke and pizza :)set
- My sister totally cured her psoriasis by balancing her ph levelsset
- Hmm, I've never heard the bicarbonate trick before, I'll have to give this a go. Beats those damned steroid ointments.Continuity
- External treatments are just typical modern medicine's approach of trying to treat the symptom not the cause..set
- Might help for a bit but the real question is why is your body doing that in the first place. Rubbing something on it from the outside is nonsense.set
- ... but of course can understand why people feel the need to try it.set
- Just googled psoriasis and bicarb, big surprise it's all suggestions of applying it externally. Fuck that, drink it, and cut out acidic food and drink!set
- How anyone still drinks coke or similar stuff on a daily basis in 2018 with access to the internet is beyond the wit of manset
- If you are owed money, the worst thing is a creditor who won't answer calls. Keep your landlady updated with how you are trying to get sorted, daily if neccessacomicsans
- And deliver! Under promise and over deliver. Say "I can get you €150 by Friday", then give her €200.comicsans
- What kind of opportunity you are looking for man? And where are you based right now? I know for CD is a bit tricky, but what else could be on your options?Fabricio
- Vent away. I think it's a sign of a healthy community. Really glad things seem to be on the up.mugwart
- Don't be ashamed, you did what you thought was right at the time. It's totally ok. Now you have a different situation and goals to meet. And are wiser.shapesalad
- Yep and no apologies. If this place can offer some (distant) support for someone having a rough time, that’s a good thing. Wishing you well xMrT
- You're all fantastic, truly. Thank you, it means a lot to be able to talk about this.Continuity
