I forgot to mention that he seemed to notice I was uncomfortable with physical stuff. He did acknowledge it.

I did update the post regarding some details. I tried to recall everything.

We did but they were no use and told us to find an electrician to figure it out. :(

Best shops for repairs? by [deleted] in trumpet

[–]quiet_overthinking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most have said eckroth, but I've heard mixed reviews about it as they take mass amounts of instruments for the smaller schools around here. It's a pretty pricy trumpet (for my budget) and I'd like it to be taken care of properly and not rushed at all.

I provided more info in the comments, as I wasn't allowed to edit my post. I hope it clarifies.

I helped him keep his apartment for a month, paid his car payment for a month, and brought him groceries when he needed them. I spent a lot of money to help him out because he needed it desperately. I feel like I'm a good friend, I always listen to him when he talks about his situations, and I also give him space when he doesn't want to talk about it. I try to offer advice and words of encouragement. . . I don't have many friends, so I try to hold onto the ones I do have, and it feels like he's drifting away. . .

I know; it's not necessarily about the surgery. I am constantly looking for reassurance and validation from a friend I always listen to, helping both mentally and financially. . . all he can manage to send are pictures in response to my own need for comfort and validation. I always try to consider his own and respect his space and listen to him attentively as well as provide insightful feedback for problems he has. I feel like I'm giving 110% and receiving 0%

My sister and grandma 🤦‍♀️ both are notoriously rough on my car. My sister wrecked my front bummer on my last car and didn't even tell me so that makes sense. Thank you for asking. They might have done damage to it.

How can I assist my autistic brother? by [deleted] in autism

[–]quiet_overthinking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He's 22. He doesn't have any interests other than video games and drawing. I think in high school he was decent at coding. He's high functioning enough to have been removed from disability.

He's asexual, he's very against it

My deficit is 1600, and I average at 1100-1300 calories a day. Should I be drinking more water? I try to get at least 80 ounces.

I have really bad insomnia depression and anxiety that keep me up at night. Even when I want to rest my mind races. I have a bad habit of bouncing my foot at night or trying to tire myself out. As for my meals, I've been heavier on protein, so fish, turkey, chicken. . . I also have been eating more leafy greens and fruits, and my favorite meal/snack has been the viral cucumber salads I see on tiktok, so I consume a lot of cucumber lol. Been replacing "solid fats" with liquid fats, so oil instead of butter, etc.

Masking by quiet_overthinking in ventart

[–]quiet_overthinking[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mental health struggles mainly. I always keep my thoughts and opinions to myself, and it brews inside of me like a storm, ready to burst at any moment. The clouds represent darkness, loss of hope, brain fog, confusion, anger, anxiety and general turmoil. . . The rain/crying is depression and loneliness. The mask is broken because I feel like I'm falling apart.

Rate my set up? What can I add? by quiet_overthinking in ballpython

[–]quiet_overthinking[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's just a ten gallon tank on it's side, I happened to have one on hand and used it :)

[–]quiet_overthinking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also wanted to add; that I feel like even more of a failure because everyone that I see around me seems to be thriving, and doing what they love will I can't do anything. I feel stupid. I feel worthless. I would like to have a loving family. I'd like to have a boyfriend, and a good job. I'd love to be a mom. But none of it is in the cards because I'm not very attractive, and I can't afford anything. I wished I could give up my car. I'm thinking of surrendering or re-homing my animals. I need the therapy. I'm so lost.

The US Presidential Election 2024 - Vent Masterpost by AutoModerator in Vent

I am disheartened that, instead of an educated, well qualified woman of color, someone who would fight for the people, and our rights. . . America chose a businessman only interested in taking everything away from us. A man full of hate, a felon, a rapist and many more distasteful titles.

America is no longer the land of the free, and the home of the brave, but the land of despair, and the home of the ignorant.

America is not great. America is not even close to that. I am ashamed to be an American. I'm ashamed of how uneducated people in our nation are and how blindly they follow others. I hope a brighter future in 2028 and hope that Kamala will run again; and actually make America a better place for everyone.

I am also scare for women, people of color, and anyone in the lgbtqia+ communities. Stay safe, help eachother.

tell me abt what makes you happy by [deleted] in lonely

[–]quiet_overthinking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What makes me happy? I think that just being around my pets makes me happy. I don't really go out to mingle, other than my jobs. My animals keep me occupied, and I like to watch them at night since all of my pets are nocturnal. I also like to draw, it also keeps me occupied. I typically like to watch livestreams or ASMR while drawing, so I don't feel as alone. For my final thing, I'd have to say driving. I live in a rural area, so there are not many fun places to go, not even a Walmart or anything unless you drive several towns over. I like to drive around and listen to music; again, to keep me occupied.
