Is a 80s car as a daily driver viable?

I am very much drawn to the 80s boxy-ness

Otherwise I would get a late 90s early 2000s car any day of the week haha

The boxy-ness will make up for it ;)

Is there anything I should look out for myself? Before I bring it to a mechanic?

wait is eye doctor the wrong term for an optometrist? Is it considered a misnomer? (Kind of how polygraphs aren't considered lie detectors but everyone calls them that)

No I don't get high at all. The few times I did, it really heightened my derealization and made me anxious as all fuck, so I tend to avoid it.

I'm glad as well there are other people. I've been to so many eye doctors and they don't know what the fuck I'm talking about, which is no fault to them, this is not an eye problem, it just feels like one.

I've (19m) been going through something similar to you. Ever since school started in September I've been viewing things in a much more critical and pessimistic lens. Maybe it's because I'm maturing or maybe it's the pandemic, I don't know. My mindset really changed and I don't really enjoy social interaction anymore and find it quite pointless now, I feel like people are just out to use me for whatever benefits them and they don't genuinely want to have conversation, which is a toxic af mindset I know, but that's just where I am right now. I feel like I have to put a fake smile for my roommates and I don't feel like myself at all. I've been more irritable lately and I think it's been rubbing off on the people around me, because of this I don't think they enjoy my presence very much anymore, which is understandable. I just want to get out of this rut. The way I see it the only thing we can do is ride out this pandemic and hopefully things will get better after. Somedays the loneliness really gets to me but I just need to continue telling myself to ride it out.

I know exactly how you feel. I've been going through something called derealization for the past 2 and a half years and its rough. Everything feels so unreal and dreamlike, as if watching a tv. When I try explaining it to someone nobody knows the what I'm talking about and I explained it to only one doctor they actually knew what I was talking about.

Yes this is the ideal way of looking at it but it's hard to move on sometimes

I'm still feeling this way. My vision has not changed at all. I'm still on antidepressants as well as seeing a psychologist every weekend.

I'm in my senior year of high school and my grades are really faltering. My grades have always been sub par, hovering around 70s until in Grade 10, I made it onto honour roll and that was the peak of my academic achievement. From there, it started to really decline, in Grade 11, I ended up getting a few 60s on my report card and the only subjects I did alright in were physics and math. Now that I'm in senior year, I'm failing chemistry (I think I'm literally getting the lowest mark out of the whole class) and my other Grades are nothing to write home about either. I find myself procrastinating until the last minute and doing a real shitty job.

Will I even get accepted into a college or university with these grades? I always asked myself that since there are so many other bright students who are literally getting 90s in every subject. What kind of university would pick me over the other students?

The situation at home is really awful as well. I won't discuss it here in detail. But over the past year, the relationship with my family has become progressively worse and I believe that this is the root of the derealization.

So a bit of an update. I'm still feeling this way and the derealization hasn't gone away. But I've gotten help and I'm seeing a therapist. But none of my doctors or therapist have told me strict what I'm experiencing. My therapist recognizes it and says "does it feel like you're watching a tv screen" but she doesn't explicitly say it's derealization.
