heya cat how are you?

>>81587989 (OP)
>How are you doing today?
Alright I guess
>Any plans for today?
Work and have an unrelated medical appointment later
>When was the last time you hurt yourself?
Saturday
>Why did you hurt yourself?
Angry at self and lost control
>Is there anything bothering you right now?
Still not sure if I want to cancel the appointment, since I'll be showing up with very visible bruises on my face and head. I might just go and try lying about it if they ask. If I cancel now, there's probably a fee this late, and it took me forever to get this appointment... It's not with an actual doctor, just imaging for a sports injury. Maybe they won't even care.

>>81588386
hey ali
how is your day?
>cat how are you?
pretty nice
I had nothing to do so I went to the city center
I took w bus there and had fun listening to music and also I got some popeyes, never had them before, it was alright, their fries are very tasty
Have you ever had popeyes?

>>81588392
Hey anon
>Alright I guess
hope it goes better though :>
>Work and have an unrelated medical appointment
It sounds tiring
is there a lot of work?
>I'll be showing up with very visible bruises on my face and head
I'm sure you could find an explanation for those
like, you went to boxing place with a friend to box each other, hah I know it's kinda funny but it is possible
>took me forever to get this appointment
I think you should go
>Maybe they won't even care.
they might ask but they won't force you to do anything you don't wanna do, I think

>>81588533
foregot my name

>>81588533
>how is your day?
started off pretty good and happy.
>had nothing to do so I went to the city center
okay that sounds pretty cool, is there much stuff to do there?
>listening to music
music is super nice. what kind of music do you usually listen to?
>was alright, their fries are very tasty
fries are usually my favorite part of fast food hehe.
>Have you ever had popeyes?
I have not actually, does sound pretty nice and good tho

>>81588533
hello
The Popeyes chicken sandwich is really good, I haven't had one in ages since there aren't any near where I live now.
And yeah, since the appointment is for a possible running tendon injury, I can plausibly say I tripped and fell while running and landed on my face. I'm actually not supposed to be running at all until we know what this injury is, but I have been anyway. Not sure how believable that story will be, but it will have to do...

>>81588638
>started off pretty good and happy.
yay :D
what happened?
and is it still good?
>sounds pretty cool, is there much stuff to do there?
maybe, but I'm pretty shy so what I like doing is just walking around and eating something sometimes
>what kind of music do you usually listen to?
ooa can't answer that ^^
I listen to all kinds of stuff
but today it was some sad songs
what about you?
>fries are usually my favorite part of fast food hehe.
really? do you like some special fancy ones?
>does sound pretty nice and good tho
it was okay, pretty expensive tho, I could get a pizza for two for the price I payed

>>81588787
>Popeyes chicken sandwich
ooh I haven't tried that
maybe I'll get to next time
>aren't any near where I live now.
in my country there are just a few, he one I went to was built recently
>running tendon injury
youch
make sure to get that sorted fren because you could end up having issues for the rest of ur life
>Not sure how believable that story will
hm, eyes and face are pretty protected while falling, but if you said you ran into another runner or a biker I think that's pretty believable

>>81588392
Hiii Anon!
Glad you've decided that you'll still try to go to the appointment.
I thank that would be better for you in the long run.
Don't worry too much about being judged for your scars, most people are just worried about you, rather then judging you.
Yeah there are always a few assholes who'd make fun of you, but those opinions don't matter.
Be nice to yourself :3

>>81588533
Hiii catt!!
glad your day was nice so far!!!

>>81588638
Helloow gator!
Glad your day was good so far too!
What kind of music do you like listening to?

>>81588950
>what happened?
I think I realized my friend probably doesn't actually hate me. so I've been able to just enjoy time with him and stuff.
>and is it still good?
it's kinda just meh and boring now.
>what I like doing is just walking around and eating something
that does basically sound like the best thing to do. always nice going out and eating tasty stuff.
>ooa can't answer that ^^
fair enough, its a hard question.
>but today it was some sad songs
those are very nice, I love a good calm one.
>what about you?
mainly sad or whatever my friends send me lol.
>really?
yea I just know they'll always be tasty. and never was a huge fan of burgers.
>do you like some special fancy ones?
not really, I never liked over the top food. do you?
>pretty expensive tho, I could get a pizza for two for the price
oh that really sucks then, don't get why fast food is so expensive sometimes. pizza is usually better anyways.

>>81588979
haiii anon!
>Glad your day was good so far too!
thank you! I hope yours has been too <3
>What kind of music do you like listening to?
mostly covers of sad songs. what do you listen to?

>>81589197
>I hope yours has been too
Work was fine, I've found plenty of time to shitpost on the clock.
But I've basically slept my whole rest of the day away. My meds make me SO tired arggggghhhhh
I kinda wanna play some videogames but I feel too tired to enjoy them rn

>what do you listen to?
Rock and basically every other sub-genre of rock you can think of. Really can't even tell what my favorite band is at this point

WHY IS EVERYRTING GOING TO SHIT ALL AT ONCE I JUST WANT A FUCKING BREAK I CANT TAKE IT ANYMRE WHAT TJE FUCK DO I EVEN DO
I CANT TAKE IT NO MORE FUCK MY LIFE
i honestly have no fucking idea why its always multiple not connected things going to shit at once, i jsut cant, i dont know what to do anymore

>>81589559
Hello Anon

>WHY IS EVERYRTING GOING TO SHIT ALL AT ONCE
Yeah it sucks when multiple unrelated things don't go well. Can feel like the entire universe is plotting something against you.
But most of the time it really just is a stupid coincidence. Don't think to much into it and just try to make the best out of your situation.

>WHAT TJE FUCK DO I EVEN DO
I sadly have no idea what you're goin through, so all my advice will just sound very broad and unspecific.
Try not to blame anyone for your problems, not yourself, not somebody else. Just try to focus to make the best of things as you can. Not saying that it'll be easy, or that it will it work out at all. But trying is all we can.
And if you just try, and even if you fail, to make your situation better, then I think you did a good job already.

>>81588979
Hello :>
how are you doing?
>glad your day was nice
thank you ^^
and tomorrow I'm planning to go on a little bikeride :3

>>81589197
>probably doesn't actually hate me
that's nice, what made you think that?
but you shouldn't assume ppl hate you fren unless they're mean to you
>kinda just meh and boring now.
mmm I'm thinking what fun stuff u could do
maybe play wordle?
>basically sound like the best thing
yeah I agree I don't really see any other fun things, other than maybe going to the cinema, maybe I should go to one soon
>whatever my friends send me lol.
it's nice he sends you stuff
>never liked over the top food. do you?
same I like it simple
though maybe I should try some new stuff one day
>never was a huge fan of burgers.
me too
I usually get tendies or something similar
>get why fast food is so expensive sometime
it used to be cheap

>>81589559
Hay anon
it's usually like that for some reason
hope you manage to get through this
Wanna say what happened?

>>81589650
im sorry for earlier
i am not sure about going into detail, about the things that went wrong, but for example my car is broken for the past week, meaning that i get less sleep to be in time, and im so FUCKING stressed out, but that is just one thing.


if i would have to say ONE thing i hate the most, it would be me, the feeling that there is nothing, not a single thing that i am good at, where i can just be like... yea im atleast good at that, i can always do that right, BUT NOOO FUCK ME I CANT DO ANYTHING.

i jsut feel sad, i cant do anythging, noone is proud of me, i cant be proud of me, i cant do anything, and into all this shit im trying to stop cutting. its so fucking difficult.

>>81589841
Don't feel sorry, it's okay to feel upset about things :3
Had to take my car mechanic too this week, brakes were acting funny.

Don't worry too much about being good at something, only so many people can be "the best".

I'm also "bad" at the things I enjoy the most in my life atm.
I'm not strong but I enjoy exercising, I'm not good at videogames but I still play them and have fun, I'm not smart but will still try to enjoy literature.

What is important is living for yourself, enjoying what you do, regardless of if you're "good" at it or what other people might think. Do what you like, and save some for tomorrow if you can.

thank you, im composed enough to not text this bitchass crying anymore.
maybe next time
sorry

>>81590014
Glad you're feeling calmer now

Don't worry about acting upset or sad. We all have feelings and I even think it's good that you were able to let some of them out here.


also,
HAVE A GOOOD NIGHT EVERYONNEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

>slept my whole rest of the day away.

>Rock
rock is very cool! I've never listened to, to much of it personally but it's definitely amazing

>>81589733
>what made you think that?
just that we do text a lot, and he does seem like he enjoys when we talk.
>shouldn't assume ppl hate you fren unless they're mean to you
I know I shouldn't, but it's hard cause I'd hate myself if they do.
>maybe play wordle?
oh yea I could definitely try, would be sick!
>maybe going to the cinema
yea that definitely could be nice as long as a good movie is playing.
>maybe I should go to one soon
yea you should if there's something you'd want to see.
>nice he sends you stuff
yea it really is <3..he's very nice.
>maybe I should try some new stuff one day
