I totalled understand and can relate💙

I know my ongoing burden of fighting cancers going on for over 3 years to date are not things I am coping with well.😭 Oddly it is the social aspects of having to deal with so many doctors and nurses and all that makes it so hard to reduce my stress levels and avoid overstimulation.
Like at medical appointment of all kinds I go nutters and start swearing at the televisions and want to rip the freaking things down. And the idiots singing loudly and praying Christian preachy crap in the cancer infusion facility and idiots not a wearing their masks and talking about having just gotten over COVID again or pneumonia as they spew and cough and worse.👽🤬 And the kids running around unmasked and snot running down their faces and parents letting them make all kinds of commotion in medical settings where others are waiting.
I have avoided dental and other appointments because of the damn televisions running loudly full blast.🤬🤬🤬
I cannot cope with that racket and all the yelling and shrieking people do on shows and news calling it excitement and enthusiasm.👽🤬
And my neighbors loud cars and kids shrieking and screaming and super loud boom boxing wall rattling my windows shaking and bed thumping vibrations.

Yeah too much stress way too much overstimulation stress in the world.👽👽🤬🤬😳

I do this when I’m starting to feel better, when I’m up all night, or fixing my schedule, and up and showered before 4-5am. I want to feel good enough to concentrate, unless it’s something I’ve watched before.

Yay NETFLIX😎👍❤️

Been quite ill from stage 4 cancer fighting and treatment and stage 4 degenerative spinal collapse and several other very very nasty things. Pain is unrelentingly horrible to say the least.😭😭😭 Usually way too tired and fallling down weakness and hard to even type ETCETERA, or to do much of anything.
Netflix helps keep me sane whilst trying to heal more and rest.
Hopefully things will get better soon.
The cardiologist and oncologist and neurologist all say the treatments will probably go on for years or more
not days weeks or months as I had hoped for.😭😭😭
On the other hand all the treatments. radiation and meds with unbelievably terrible side effects are all that is keeping the cancer beaten down, so not able to stop any of the treatments and tests and radiation and cat scans ETCETERA.
They are what keeps the cancer from going crazy in me again. So stop the cancer fighting and feel better until cancer kills me or keep doing the cancer treatments but feel horrible. Crappy choices 😳👽😭So trying to find new ways to adapt to trying to survive with it all and Netflix👍😎❤️ helps when I am too often bed bound or nearly so.😭😭😭

Hate television🤬 and am unable to socialize in person and go out except for chemo ETC.

Netflix allows me to choose what I want and is commercial ETCETERA free👍😎❤️👍

I wish I could shower bathe and walk etcetera but due to several issues cannot do any of those normal things.😭😭😭

Just holding on the best that I can and I hate having to live so much via Netflix but hey at least it helps as am unable to see good enough to read books any longer,
which makes me very sad as I use to read one to seven books a week before the cancer ETCETERA 😭😭😭
I feel like the guy in the old Twilight Zone series on the episode ALL THE TIME IN THE WORLD where he is the survivor of a a nuclear
attack.
He is overjoyed that the library is still standing intact and then drops his very thick glasses and they break and then he cannot read any of the books or do anything.👽😭😳

So yay for Netflix 😎❤️👍
Others like Paramount etcetera have commercials and advertisements ugh.👽😳🤬

Please pardon any strange autocorrects and strange typos.

I will give it to the public schools I get 10 personal days! I know I started in December but I need to use them all.

My twin flame even has been communicating with me that I need to come over earlier. He knows I'm on the spectrum. He's said it to my face in the 3d. And I've been basically been sending him messages back about what I deal with at my job. AND I basically only have a moment alone and to myself if I am ******** at work. The break room is not even a break for me. There are other people in there talking. So I don't even get to look at my phone. The kids have brain issues and we can't force them to rest, behave, and be quiet I get to deal with that after my half hour break. And then I get to go home to my mom who acts like another kid. Who does not give a eff and will be like "pAy AtTenTioN tO mE blablablblalbalblalbalbalaaaa hey look what I did! You should do this" wont even give me two effing minutes when I come in the door and have had a longer day than her.

By Fridays I am sensory the F out. Going out on a Friday is hard. Even on a half days that how bad the kids are.

10 days is a lot of time off for only having a few months left. I really think it will help with my regulation issues.

I ended up actually being sick. The end of March there was that eclipse. I started having mental health self esteem issues in February.

Feeling way much better since early mid April.

So I am using my last mental health day today.

Then I think I only have one full week left of the school year.

They last few years when my job ends and get to be home alone finally, I struggle with the social skills to tell my friends to kindly **** off. So started ghosting. IDK if I am ready to be social this weekend. Or at least today. This is the only week I get to be by myself and live alone this is a valuable time for me.
