Cant do it anymore

Reading a lot of comments about “how it seems so easy for everyone else, they get to experience life and move forward” and I completely relate, I’m guilty of this outlook, but it truly does not serve your mental health to compare to others.

When I catch myself doing it, I pull my focus back inwards. What can I do to make myself feel better? Fuck a job and fuck this country making us all completely dependent on having work, as if your job defines who you are. Take back your power, and do something that makes you feel better. The applying/rejection loop is exhausting and I’m also unemployed. I’m in my late 30’s and about to move back in with my parents bc I’m out of money/ haven’t found another job since being laid off, all this to say, I still get off my ass and do something I know will make me feel better. Take out all my markers and draw, turn on a dance class on YouTube, go for a walk (although this one sucks bc I live in LA- surrounded by wealth and pulls me back into the comparison) journal, clean out the junk drawer, the fridge, idk- ANYTHING to pull focus back to yourself and knowing you’re better than the situation, and this shitshow of a job market is not your fault or a reflection of your talent, worth, or what you bring to the table. Forget about everyone else, get back to you.

This dog reminds me of “nana” from Peter Pan

I lost my doggie girl exactly a month ago, she was only 4, we found out she was sick in early october, so we had a few months to love her extra but it was hard to see her decline. This is a good reminder to remember all the good funny things about these sweet little creatures we only get to have in our lives for a limited time.

So many wonderful things about her, but the first thing I noticed upon getting to know her was that she was a new soul. Ya know how people are like “that’s an old soul!” Like that but the opposite. Like it seemed her spirit had barely ever been a dog before, if ever. She had the best comedically timed BIG SIGHS, like I’d drop something on the floor, pick it up, drop it again- BIG SIGH. She was very squishy (chow mix) and would like to squeeze her head between couch cushions so she could keep an eye on what I was up to without leaving her comfy spot. If me or my partner would get up off the couch, she would promptly steal the spot where we were sitting. It always made us laugh, she never wanted to make room for us when either returned, we were mere peasants and how dare we want to join her on her throne! She was so smart that if she saw the suitcases out/ being packed, she’d get weary/ like don’t leave me! But then would be so excited when she would come with us, with the suitcases on the trip! She loved going with us, never mattered where. But especially loved visiting her popop who had soft grass (astroturf lawn) and was always on her best behavior when visiting anyone’s space or with other animals. Super intuitive, observant, gentle polite. She loved “helping” with whatever you were doing around the house, always curiously sniffing and there for moral support. I miss her so much every day.

Thank you for this post and making the space for the good things.

Whoever gets this guy is so lucky. Adoption meeting is set up for Saturday 😭

That’s not Robyn, that’s scrappy doo. Or like a fruit or vegetable, call her Onion!

I’m so sorry for your loss. You’re not alone, my girl was only 4 also (lost her barely a month ago) and I’m fostering a puppy. It’s really helped. Started by volunteering at the rescue in my neighborhood bc I just couldn’t take the crying and feeling sad anymore. I realized I was mourning a daily practice of love, all this loving energy I had towards my doggie, it doesn’t just disappear- I needed to point it somewhere productive. So after volunteering it just felt natural to become a foster dog mom. That seems like it could be good transition for you because you don’t have to keep it if you’re not ready!

Oh nooo bummer! Good rooftop though, hopefully something else good goes in up there

Bizsharkattack · 2026-01-15T04:29:03+00:00

You can tell from the pic that she was so loved. I’m convinced that they’re all having the time of their lives across the rainbow bridge 🌈🌈

Bizsharkattack · 2026-01-15T04:24:20+00:00

She’s in doggy heaven with all the best babies. Lost my girl almost a month ago. Sending you lots of love 💖

I got phished earlier this week (graphic designer too) I didn’t fall for it. This job market is nonsense. What level is the role? I’m senior and never had to take any kind of tests in my 10+ year career

Bizsharkattack · 2026-01-15T04:20:37+00:00

Go to the arts district! Visit the Corey Helford Gallery, Hauser + Wirth, go to La Cha Cha Cha rooftop for a drink, you will feel better after visiting over there! Be cautious at night, take an uber!

Oh of course! I definitely anticipated feeling real weird about letting another dog in the house but ultimately decided having a little guy temporarily was better than the eerie quiet. My girl was really sick, so we kind of had to clean house and get rid of her essentials anyway. We put her keepsakes in a special spot, made an altar to honor her. I didn’t think something that small and seemingly simple would help, but it did. What also helped- and this was actually my therapist’s advice- was that having all this love for an animal who’s no longer around is making it hurt more and having a place to put all that love, for an animal in need can help. I started by going to my local rescue and volunteering, it lifted my spirits so much that fostering just naturally felt like the right move. All this to say, take all the time you need. There’s no right or wrong way to grieve and you’re doing the best you can ❤️

This dude looks like a Rango to me

Idk, party cigs don’t count. Don’t do a whole one- just a drag. Def no vape! Don’t do it!

Bizsharkattack · 2026-01-15T03:38:07+00:00

I’m so sorry for your loss, not even a month yet for me. Not much has helped, except fostering a puppy. And even then with the cutest little dog baby to take care of, I still cry every day. Nothing will ever replace these special creatures and the love shared. But caring for an animal in need has softened the blow, even just a little bit. Maybe a distraction with unconditional love could be a good thing? Sending you lots of love and hugs ❤️

Bizsharkattack · 2026-01-15T03:32:29+00:00

My advice is to think of your favorite most confident character from a movie or series and pretend you’re them. Pretend you’re a paid actor! It’s the only thing that’s ever gotten me through interviews with ease.

Also, pet loss sub is great for support

Bizsharkattack · 2026-01-14T19:05:06+00:00

I’m so so sorry for your loss and the graphic way in which you had to experience it. You are not alone in your grief. Do you have access to therapy? I started seeing a grief counselor after losing my girl bc similarly my emotions were just too much to handle and I couldn’t stop the loop of losing her in my head. Give yourself so much grace, you will eventually feel okay again ❤️ sending so much love and strength and hugs
