As you know, censorship around the world has been ramping up at an alarming pace. The UK and OFCOM has singled out this community and have been focusing its censorship efforts here. It takes a good amount of resources to maintain the infrastructure for our community and to resist this censorship. We would appreciate any and all donations.
Keep in mind, this is the Chicago Metropolitan area, with stores, arby's mcdonalds, ER, psych ward, 20+ dendists, like 10 counseling places, a walgreens, CVS, park, and 2 car parts stores, most within a quarter mile of this spot.....

Stunned and pleased to hear a reference to Flowers for Algernon. I guess I shouldn't be, it's a well-known book.
I have always drawn a comparison between the main character in that book temporarily becoming a genius and anxious me being given Klonopin, which worked until it didn't. So now I know what it's like to have zero anxiety and be tack sharp, but I'm back to the way I was again. Medication never lasts.
I should have picked Algernon as my SS name instead of this dumb fish.
I think it really depends. Loss and grief can teach us things, the problem is, we may not want to learn those things. Ignorance (or rather, innocence) can be bliss, but do we want to be ignorant, aren't we always trying to learn? Grief I have experienced has made me into a different person, in some ways better, in some ways worse, but defiantly different. Its a cursed gift that both takes and gives at the same time. It seems like the more you learn, the less you can do with what you learn. Maybe wisdom is understanding how to glean happiness from that. I've always struggled with this dichotomy.
All the losses that I've had throughout my life have really taught me is that I don't want to get close to another person because I don't want them to be taken away from me. I really didn't want to get close to my husband, but he chased me around for five years and wouldn't take no for an answer.
If other people can glean happiness from their losses, I'm happy for them, but I've never been able to do that. As the losses pile up, it just makes me more angry and bitter toward the world and have less desire to want to communicate or connect with other human beings because it's too painful. I'm sick of being in pain. And I'm sick of watching people all around me suffer and die, while I continue to be stuck in this wretched world that I don't want to be in.
I really hate that my hands are so shaking so early.... omg I need bloodwork still... and forgot I need to call psychiatrist.... maybe tomorrow... I don't feel like doing it tonight... today is thursday right?

Yes, today is Thursday. I just double checked the calendar.
Your hands are shaking? Tremors? I'm so sorry. Is it making it difficult for you to get your work done?
Sometimes--if I"m not careful it leads to hitting the wrong keys. I have to keep my hands on the keys like non-stop and slide them instead of lift, which causes it's own issues. Oh well... not like I'm planning on it being an issue forever.
hey y'all. today's been rough so far and i don't know why. lots of bad thoughts while my mind was idle in the shower. i've been clean from sh for almost a month now but the urges are back and they're getting overwhelming. the worst part is that i don't even want to hurt myself, but my brain thinks it'll solve things.

I meant to tell you @Jean4. They had a story on my local news here where public officials from various cities in my area sent 17 people that they suspected of having the coronavirus to local motels. They are now claiming that all 17 people that they sent to these motels have been cleared and don't have the virus, but several emergency personnel are expressing concern about the practice. Apparently, it's common practice to send people with viruses and other illnesses that don't have anywhere else to go to motels. I'm not sure why you wouldn't put them in a hospital. They claim they still thoroughly clean the rooms afterwards and there's no chance of the public getting sick. They can't notify the public due to the patient's right to privacy, which I understand. But they weren't even notifying medical personnel either.
Now there's an argument going on between the city officials and medical personnel as to whether this practice is safe for the public or not. It's still puzzles me that they wouldn't put them in a hospital.

I'm home, everyone. Sorry if I worried you at all. I'll detail what happened in a thread I make in a minute. I have to explain to my bf first why I suddenly disappeared since we suck at communicating normally he probably thought I was just taking a break like normal. Anyway I feel much better now overall and they took me seriously since I tried to die like I hoped. Gamble was completely successful in my opinion.

Chances are they'd be using the cheap hotesl too wouldn't they be?

Great... my mom assumes the blob is her brother who died, who is my "guardian angel" who is my protector..... well if that's true, she's so not going to like the reason he's here rofl.
That thread is never going to be made at this rate. My bf took it surprisingly well and calm and now I'm challenging him to communicate more(he never tells me his problems EVER) so yeah give me a minute lol.
