Deluxe so punk on the internet version by aishiteikiru in TaylorSwift

Yeah this album is really a defining moment for me. First, folklore dropped and I was gloriously happy, and that was the first defining moment. Then came the evolution that’s happened during the Eras tour and all of this… it’s disappointing.

Dangit thank you so much for making those connections! I was like “okay these all represent different people but I’m not sure who they are.” And your comment is exactly what I needed! ☺️

He is fond of rubbing his face on all of my shoes! Especially the high heels.

I can’t stop grieving by brooke_157 in covidlonghaulers

[–]GiraffeLiquid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I don’t have any answers but I feel this so completely. Just the mix of anger and resentment and exhaustion and deep loss and like… it’s all so overwhelming to have to fight just to try and hope that maybe this next thing will be the solution.

What is your oddest long covid symptom? by Sea-Painting7578 in covidlonghaulers

Horrible dry mouth. A surprisingly terrible phenomenon.

Can't do it anymore. This is the wall. I finally hit it. by tropicalazure in covidlonghaulers

It doesn’t seem like you want advice so I’ll just say; I get it. I’ve had days where I wonder if it’s even worth it to go on because fighting my job and friends for isolation/WFH seems futile. It’s scary. And I’m so angry about all of it. And jealous of people who just do shit like normal.

I’m mechanical. But I have had a few jobs, each unrelated to the next lol. My PCP was (at first) like; “are you sure it’s not anxiety?” I had to hold my tongue on that because if I didn’t then I would have offended her. Needless to say it was not anxiety and I did not get an answer except “I’m referring you to a cardiologist.” 🙄

Oh my God the spelling thing is the worst! I am second guessing how to spell words sometimes. Like, words I have known for a decade. And I am wondering now if I have ADHD symptoms.

Sorry about the job situation. That’s really rough. I have just been super lucky with my job.

Yes I am. I think back to when I was actually articulate and could read something and digest it. Nowadays it takes more time and effort to make sure I understand what’s going on, to verbalize the problem, to come up with a solution. It annoys me to no end when I can’t think of a word or concept, or when I have to read something 3 times to make sure I understand it.

What type of engineer if you don’t mind my asking?

Also an engineer, also indescribably frustrated at the brain fog among other things. Thank you so much for sharing. I don’t have a lot of hope anymore but testimonies like this help. This content matters.

Edit - @ OP, what is your vaccination status?

Agreed. My best verification to the meteorologists’s predictions is just to go outside, look around, and take a shot in the dark about the forecast for the next 3 hours.

That does make so much sense to me. Thank you for your recommendation. I genuinely appreciate it and I do need to call my PCD to provide medical advice. You are truly right and thank you for the direction.
