the yap zone

HMMMMMMM I dunno what to write. I guess this is just my place to yap as warranted. Also posting my writing, as I do that sometimes. Well, today has been okay. Just been on here, learning how to build a somewhat functioning website. Even if it isnt "all that", I still enjoy it, enjoy seeing things work properly after an hour of troubleshooting. Its like a sense of relief for me. Also worked on some journalling for therapy, which I have on wednesday :p I like my therapist, but sessions can be awkward sometimes. I dont really know how therapys "supposed to be", despite having multiple therapists. I feel like I just ramble on the whole time, about anything, because its the only time in the week that I can. I have it every week, because its nice to just have someone to talk to, thats listening, even if they are getting paid for it lol. I dont know if its helping or not, I guess it is in a sense, because I look forward to it, to get to talk to someone for once. I dont really talk to anyone, which is sad in itself. Dont really have the resources to. I feel like an unemployed bum right now, which I hate. But I hopefully have a job coming my way (fingers crossed). Possibly even two. They would each be part time. I kinda prefer that, it gives me some variety in my work. One would be housekeeping, which I know, sounds horrible, but I like jobs where I can be on my feet and do things. It keeps my mind from wandering, keeps me occupied. Also I can listen to music, since its not like I'm really dealing with guests that much. I do like working with the public though, almost all my jobs where like that. I like putting on a persona, like I'm not me. Like I'm clocking into Retail Associate Simulater and just doing random tasks all day. Obviously at times, when I thought about it, I hated it. But when I'm busy the time goes by fast, I just try to shut my brain off. I dont know, maybe thats not good lol.
But another job I might get, that I REALLY want, is at an animal shelter, working with the cats. Thats almost like a dream come true. I know its a lot of work, but I love animals so much, I always have. I love my cats to death, they are honestly what keeps me from going off the deep end. Without my one babie (Zayn), I dont think I would have motivation to do anything. Hes truly my biggest support in my life. I think that he would want wants best for me, because I know he does. When I have beem too depressed to do anything- house was a mess, just doing nothing all day- his mood changes too. He hid under my bed nearly all day. Now, he sleeps with me every night, wakes me up in the morning, stays in the living room with me most of the day, and we play every night. I guess owners do rub off on their pets. I dont even see him as a pet though, for some reason that doesnt sit right with me. Hes really like my best friend, and I love him so much.

Its the 1st of da month :D It kinda makes me feel weird and sad that its October. This whole year has been like a fever dream (not a good one lol), i dunno. Today was okay, went out of the house at least, to get groceries. My ebt doesnt come until the 7th tho which sucks. Idc that im on food stamps, I'll milk the government for as much money as i can. Helps enable my kombucha addiction. Id never buy that shit with my own money, Id rather make it. But I dont know if I trust myself to make it, I feel like Id accidently make wine or some shit, and being sober now Im not really willing to risk my sobriety on shitty kombucha lol. Thats partially the reason Id never go on Antabuse, I wouldnt be able to drink kombucha without getting deathly ill. And that shits just scary huefhefefyhe
Well, ANYWAY, just chilling now. Working on my site. Trying to chill, calm down a bit. My anxiety usually gets bad around this time (afternoon), and in mornings. But I hav therapy tomorrow :D WEEEEEEEEEEE. AND MAYBE A JOB SOON! Cant wait to be a wage slave again. In all honestly, I think itll be good for me. Staying inside alone all day everyday probably isnt too great for my brain. Makes me more scared of people and going out. Bleh. I need to do more art tho, feeling like my main fixation rn is my website and messing w it, which I love dont get me wrong, but i dunno I feel like I need to work on something else. I get in these like "hyperfixations" where I only do one thing and thats it. It was music, then animating, now this. I wanna work on music more, write more shit. My brain is full of shitty emo lyrics I just need to put on paper.
Well ima do something. Maybe make a smoothie :p

Its been awahile since I've written on here, oops. Nothing much has changed, everythings been kinda boring and repetitive. I crave something different in my life, but at the same time that terrifies me, as i dont adapt well to change in my personal life. I like order and routine, or more so i just feel comforted by it. I plan everything in my head subconciously, which is somethings that almost setting me up for disappointment. I've been trying to challenge that, and just "go with the flow", but its incredibly difficult sometimes as i feel every second i sit and do nothing i am wasting time. I think of all the things I COULD be doing and it overwhelms me. Also my health anxiety has been very bad today, i dont even know what I'm afraid is going to happen, I'm just afraid in general. Like hyperfixating on every feeling in my body. "My face is hot, am I running a fever? My left arm hurts, am I having a heart attack? I feel weak and confused, am I having a stroke?", that kinda thing lol. Its just all so exhausting to have to calm myself down all day from these throughts. BLAHHHHHHH.
