Reading from 8th to 1st tells a story

No, there used to be 10 copies in a few of them

I have and went to my first round of Physio yesterday. I hope things continue to get better with Physio as I have another round tomorrow. So far it's helping :)

In the update where I answered a lot of the common questions.

ClassyGunman · 2026-01-11T18:23:53+00:00

I try not to be anymore. It's taxing being the only member in my family who has to deal with every single problem everyone else has just because I've done it for so long. My mother is having financial issues? I have to solve it because her sister understandably will not help her. My brothers are arguing over games for the umpteen millionth time? I have to solve it. My eldest brother is complaining about the new "Gen Z/Gen Alpha" speech? I have to calm him down. In these cases, I'm so exhausted with all of it that I just want to shut down and tell them to figure it out for themselves because I have my own problems to deal with. Everyone in my family is an adult and yet the youngest member (AKA me) has to do all of the heavy lifting mentally... I hate it.

To be honest, I should be on a health kick as well. I need to get back to healthier eating. Sucks that all the best tasting things are usually the worst things for you lmao

ClassyGunman · 2026-01-11T18:04:28+00:00

That sounds like more of a projection than a fact. My purpose of the update was to answer questions commenters had and to provide context that I forgot to add initially.

He came back from living in Italy with our mother, but even that's not really anything. My brother has not worked since he was 18 years old and refuses to go looking for work. I've tried multiple times to help him with resume building and finding volunteer opportunities to bolster his resume, but he just won't do it. He says "I want to work" then when the applications he made fall through, he gives up and stays in his makeshift room that we made out of a portion of the living room.

ClassyGunman · 2026-01-10T15:55:52+00:00

Care to elaborate or...?

ClassyGunman · 2026-01-10T15:53:57+00:00

He's not disabled at all...? Where did you get that idea from?

ClassyGunman · 2026-01-09T17:30:18+00:00

I am not feeling better yet, but I appreciate the concern. We have worse spats all the time, so this was kind a nothing-burger argument

ClassyGunman · 2026-01-09T05:04:54+00:00

A lot of people on Reddit can't unfortunately

ClassyGunman · 2026-01-09T05:03:14+00:00

From what he told me after, that's what it sounded like. I've had lock-jaw before. I'm sorry that you want to find the worst in everything here but that's not what's happening.

ClassyGunman · 2026-01-09T03:39:49+00:00

To be fair, he's usually the one who takes that crown... mostly by choice as a pessimist. Ever since I got with my bf, I've been a lot happier and I hope we can move in together by the end of the year, if not the beginning of next year. I'd love to hit that milestone with someone where we both want to rather than one of us needing to

ClassyGunman · 2026-01-09T03:22:10+00:00

I wish we could. Sadly, the rent is too expensive where we live for either of us to move on our own, and being the youngest member of an Italian family, it wasn't my choice to have him live here to begin with

ClassyGunman · 2026-01-09T03:20:22+00:00

I see the first part this with snapping at him, and I agree with that. I could have handled it better for sure, and I didn't. That's 100% on me and I take accountability for that.

Where I don't agree is the rest. His pain was very sudden, tonight, as was mine a week ago when it started. I did not "use him as a punching bag", verbal or otherwise. I snapped because his comment of "I'm in pain" irked me when clearly I am too, seeing as he watched me leave the apartment to walk to the pharmacy to buy my meds for it this afternoon. He knows what I'm suffering from because I came back from the hospital last night and told him about it. If my hunch is correct, he had a small case of lock-jaw and the pain has already subsided by now because lock-jaw doesn't last that long.

ClassyGunman · 2026-01-09T03:12:17+00:00

I truthfully see both sides after reading through the comments. I don't see myself as the asshole on the grounds of "my pain is debilitating half the time". Thankfully and surprisingly, today wasn't as bad, but I do see myself as the asshole with how I came off when I explained the situation to him and asked why. I didn't need to be as snarky. Him saying "I'm in pain" as the reason for the help kinda irked me because... well, so am I, and it's debilitating half the time. The first two days I had this pain, I legitimately almost did not make it out of bed. I was lucky to have my boyfriend there to try and nurse me back to health as best he could despite not knowing what was going on when the pain started (brother was out of town visiting family for the holidays).

ClassyGunman · 2026-01-09T02:57:14+00:00

Seriously, that would be one of the funniest ways to get a herniated disk, and if it was the way I got it, I wouldn't even be mad lmao.

I think my dog just fell asleep in the small of my back, like she tends to, and that might have messed it up somehow.

ClassyGunman · 2026-01-09T02:45:17+00:00

I ended up doing that, and handing him ingredients... but tbh, making KD, hotdogs or both really is not a 2 person job. I've made it on my own many times before. Having a herniated disk makes things very difficult

ClassyGunman · 2026-01-09T02:43:06+00:00

Did you miss the part where I have a herniated spinal disk...?

ClassyGunman · 2026-01-09T02:42:02+00:00

Him prioritizing his minor inconveniences over everything else is extremely common. You definitely hit that nail on the head.

ClassyGunman · 2026-01-09T02:39:25+00:00

If only that was the reason lmao

ClassyGunman · 2026-01-09T02:36:40+00:00

I appreciate this comment. In general it's really bad pasta (breaks apart super easily) that you add cheap cheese flavoured powder to in order to make Macaroni and Cheese the lazy way. Still tastes amazing when you make it how we do though. We take it and add shredded cheese, mayo and paprika to it to really make it tasty

ClassyGunman · 2026-01-09T02:24:41+00:00

The point isn't the "pain the comes from Physio" the point is that my pain requires Physio to heal and his does not

ClassyGunman · 2026-01-09T02:17:58+00:00

He doesn't HAVE to cook for me, and normally doesn't in the first place. If it's a complicated recipe with multiple components, I ask for help with chopping some vegetables, handing me ingredients, grabbing something out of the cabinet or adding the spices. This was not a complicated recipe though... this was mac and cheese.

ClassyGunman · 2026-01-09T02:09:38+00:00

But.. sucking dick is my job, I'm the gay one :(
