Some happy stuff: got a new laptop (managed to find a fairly cheap model, the standalone gpu on it's own retails for the same price) with an rtx 3070. Am really happy with it. =)

C O V I D still has me in a death grip. Doc put me on antibiotics today for secondary infections. Hopefully this will be a turning point because this is awful and I'm miserable.

[–]Iceman_Hottie 4 points5 points  (3 children) | Copy Link

Sorry to hear that.

This is not medical advice, just a point to check out. Try asking your doctor about vitamin C, D and Zinc supplements to help boost your immune system. Vitamin C is a chemical precursor for a lot of stuff. Vitamin D and Zinc - heard that they are helpful with getting better if you are down with the sickness.

Good luck and and hope you get better soon!

Thanks that's actually what the doctor has had me doing. In addition to a multivitamin I am taking a separate dose of vitamin C, D and Zinc. They also have taking mucinex, and I'm taking Aspirin and Tylenol. I've been trying to stay hydrated and get sleep too but man things got crappy fast lol

[–]a-man-from-earth 4 points5 points  (6 children) | Copy Link

Hang in there! Do you have any hobbies that put your mind off things?

Work is starting again here, after the summer holidays. I get to meet my new colleagues later today.

[–]Fast-Mongoose-4989 2 points3 points  (5 children) | Copy Link

I'm just playing some video games I don't realy have any hobbies just trying to tack it one day at a time.

[–]a-man-from-earth 1 point2 points  (4 children) | Copy Link

OK. What games do you like to play?

[–]Fast-Mongoose-4989 1 point2 points  (3 children) | Copy Link

Rpg,strategy.

[–]a-man-from-earth 0 points1 point  (1 child) | Copy Link

I like Skyrim and Crusader Kings 3. I'm also playing Dorfromantik, a nice puzzle game for playing while listening to podcasts.

[–]Fast-Mongoose-4989 0 points1 point  (0 children) | Copy Link

I like skyrim two.

[–]Fast-Mongoose-4989 1 point2 points  (0 children) | Copy Link

I'm going to bed now I'm pretty tired.

[–]Super_Solver 8 points9 points  (2 children) | Copy Link

Just to get it off my chest, getting overwhelmed with all the negativity out there that nothing seemingly can be done about. World issues, social issues, personal issues, fears about my own future, etc.

[–]Iceman_Hottie 1 point2 points  (0 children) | Copy Link

There is also a community to help you with anything thing specific, and support you.

The world is going to s really fast now, so something will break fairly soon. "May you live in interesting times" definitely sounds like a curse.

[–]a-man-from-earth 1 point2 points  (0 children) | Copy Link

It's a lot indeed. Insofar as things are not under your control (world issues, etc.) I'd suggest to put your mind off it. Focus on positive things that give you energy. And then use some of that energy to tackle personal issues.

If there's anything specific you want to talk about, we're here for you. Otherwise, may I point you to a post I made a few weeks ago?

[–]MartianCavenaut 6 points7 points  (1 child) | Copy Link

Was really behind some deadlines for a small part-time position of mine... for a few weeks now. But I got up this morning early early, on not too many hours of sleep, sipped on a red bull in bed, got out of the house and put in a few hours of substantial work and progress towards my tasks before my 11AM weekly check in. Interestingly enough the meeting was cancelled, but it felt good to actually be getting some work done. Thinking of starting my weekly workout routine soon too.

[–]Fast-Mongoose-4989 1 point2 points  (0 children) | Copy Link

Good for you I'm glad things went so well
