well nobody ever talked to me but i finally got it done, and because i was nervous it went in crooked which hurt and made it bleed all over the place, great :^) i'm sure this won't add to the shot anxiety at all... fml

To clarify, I am not afraid of needles. What I'm afraid of is giving myself a shot. And even so I have been doing this every week, sometimes twice in a day, for over a year, lately I've been having a lot of trouble taking my shots. I get so nervous I'll sit there for hours, just trying to make myself do it and chickening out at the last second, over and over. It's driving me nuts.
Someone please distract me and make me feel better so I can get this done and go to bed! I have work in the morning and I can't go to sleep until I take my shot. :'( I should have been in bed hours ago already.

yep. been up for hours and only just now made coffee. don't have work today so I haven't felt the need for food yet lol

TNP is reading this in the bathroom.

Made some slight adjustments to the OP. Still seeking potential RP partners, if anyone is interested/looking.

I've never used anything like that; not sure how such an app would even really work. How does it know you're taking steps? o_o

Good luck second time around! Job applications can be a pain in the butt, but at least the more you do them and the more job experience you gain, it will get easier down the road.

I need to start applying to some of the jobs I've bookmarked; my current job is not gonna work for me much longer and I need something a little less stressful (and hopefully more predictable) so I can focus on other things in my life.

I normally get my groceries at Aldi, sometimes Walmart if I can't find what I need. I can't do all my shopping at Walmart due to the cost, but working there and getting employee discount on at least some things helps a little. Trying to eat healthy and organic when possible while also not making enough money to even pay rent is kinda difficult sometimes, yo.
But sometimes even Walmart doesn't carry what I'm looking for, so I have to venture outside my comfort zone and go to a fancy store. Like Harris Teeter. Today was such a day, and while it wasn't as overwhelming as that one time I went to Whole Foods in search of natural food dye (where I felt like a dirty possum waddling around among the rich people), it was still pretty amazing. They had a huge selection of vegan and organic stuff, spices, cooking and baking supplies, etc. I was extremely tempted and ended up buying a lot more than I came for in spite of myself. If I'd had more money, I could have come away with some very nice things, indeed.
Needless to say, Harris Teeter has been bumped even higher up on my list of places to seek employment in my ongoing struggle to escape the grip of Walmart. It's still retail, and it'd still probably be back-breaking grocery store work with minimal pay, but it's gotta be better than where I'm at now.

guys for real this store is SO CLEAN. Everything looks nice and organized, it's quiet, and despite not being a huge store (it's not much bigger than the store I work at), it's got so much in it and it's all easy to find. There only seemed to be, like, one employee in the whole place, though. Maybe because it was late and a Sunday, who knows...

Where do you shop? What kind of grocery stores are in your area? Am I the only one who thinks this place is fancy and feels like out-of-place garbage when I visit? Where can I get a better deal on goat milk??! (so far the Walmart up the road from me--not the one I work at--has the best price on it, but 4$ a quart is still kinda high).

WAIT WHO'S VALENTINO so many cats
either way, they're precious. I can't wait til I'm able to get my own (and hopefully don't have so much trouble with the fosters)

I got poked by a used needle in the trash can at work today so now i get to spend my only day off tomorrow going to the doctor's and filling out information. :^) sure hope I don't catch a disease.

I'm gonna hold onto my job out of fear and inevitably get fired for attendance anyway lol
I wish I could just work up the nerve to quit while I still have the option but I keep thinking "if I just hold on a little longer..." because I have no other options to fall back on. but at this rate I'm gonna end up jobless either way, so why not do it with a tiny shred of dignity intact instead of having a black mark put on my record by an unfeeling monster of a company?
oh right, because I'm an idiot who clings to the false hope of things getting better because I have no answers for what to do when I have to face the reality that this will not work out.

cba to do spoilers but it's not like anyone cares or reads these so meh

ok i had a million ideas but had to narrow it down to 3, so here we are:

idk, I join sites to have somewhere to go to talk and share things. The avatar stuff is just an added bonus that gives me something to do in the meantime, like a little side quest.

ok, that's good to know. thanks you guys!

I was scrolling on my phone and accidentally hit "ignore". Without me even realizing or confirming it, a message popped up saying I had successfully blocked someone and would no longer see any of their content. I went to my settings but couldn't find a block list anywhere. I can't see the person's posts in the forum at all, so I can't figure out how to unblock them. Where is our block list and how do we undo it?
Also if there's no confirmation required for blocking someone, there really should be, as this happened by accident way too easily. At the very least, unblocking should be just as easy in case of accidents or changes of mind.
