Screaming nauseously into the void

So, for the past ten months I've had a Mystery Problem Syndrome (MPS) -- unpredictable hours to months of nausea, headaches, dizziness, brain fog, weird muscle things, a dangerous amount of weight loss, all that fun stuff. The working hypothesis from my GI is that it's an autoimmune thing triggered by a viral infection in my intestines that may or may not be temporary on the scale of a year or two, but we haven't been able to totally confirm that's what it is or whether it's going to be a year-long thing or a many-years thing or a forever thing. It's not always clear what's triggering the big flare-ups, but stress is a contributing factor. This is a problem firstly because I'm a PhD student who has always run a little anxious in the way that some ovens run a little hot and secondly because my body cannot tell the difference between stress and excitement.

In practical terms, this means that I've zombied my way through work for about five total months since January, have barely left my town all year even for just little day trips, paused a lot of my big plans like getting more intensive therapy to deal with my driving anxiety, and have had lots of little "fun" moments like barely being able to present my work at a big conference, running out of my roommate's big opera performance to throw up in a trash can in the hall, and spending about two months being unable to even take consistent notes during D&D and not really being able to enjoy it or any of my other hobbies. This was all no good, obviously, but to really add insult to injury, I might have triggered a full-on flare-up by... (drumroll, please)...

Buying groceries for my Halloween party!

Not even throwing the party. Not even drinking too much or eating forbidden foods at the party.

Buying groceries for the party. At the same grocery store I always buy groceries at.

I got too excited while passively noodling about desserts and decorations and how I wanted to arrange the cheeseboard and whether blackberries would be good in sangria.

And have been unable to keep food down since.

I hope I'm miraculously cured by the party itself because I'm going to have a hard time convincing anyone to eat my food (I'm definitely not contagious anymore! I cleared the actual infection in January!) if I'm this noticeably sick during it.

Also I was looking forward to it a lot and a good dozen of my friends are gonna be there and :(

Apparently, I can't look forward to things anymore! I should just sit in a quiet room and contemplate the grass as it grows, careful to maintain complete emotional neutrality.

got to a point in my day to day life where i feel like if i lower all my expectations for everything ever and cut every single hopeful thought i can come up with that will With No Doubt become a whole Thing that turns into Anxiety and Regret and Desperation and finally Shame for Hoping (like. "good things could happen sure. whatever. if they don't it's not like i was expecting anything anyway lol") things would be easier for me. and it's like really sad and depressing to think that and i haven't stopped shaking today and i feel this intense need to start crying but i'm also just like lol whatever!! you know :)

I don't fuck with pet names often but when I do hoo mama AWOOGA AOWWOAHAV

[here-there-were-dragons]

as a general rule, on average, if americans consistently complain about a food being conceptually weird, gross, and scary, then it probably tastes amazing. or at least inoffensive.

this is because in my experience americans for the most part (give or take a few exceptions by region) think eating literally anything other than beef, chicken, bread, eggs, peanut butter jelly sandwitches, ketchup, and disgusting cloyingly artificial brown sludge soda is insurmountably weird, gross, and scary.

[septembersghost]

did not sleep at all, but rather laid in bed agonizing and cycling over terrible things in my head, feeling my heart start to beat faster and faster with anxiety until i felt like i was running a marathon while lying perfectly still. cried, got up after all this at 8:30 to get ready to go to the dentist, cut myself because i'm too tired for fine motor skills. mom drops me off at the dentist, ascend to the second floor with another lady to find that the office is locked and closed because they moved, yet somehow didn't inform patients that they moved. having no way of contacting my mom (upon reflection, i could've gone to another business in the building to use a phone, but i was exhausted and panicked and ditzy), very kind lady introduces herself and offers me a ride to the new location since we're going to the same place. i think, if i can't trust the older women of the world, i can't trust anyone, and it's only five minutes away, so okay, i don't want to seem ungrateful and turn down a ride, we laugh about how nuts it is that patients didn't get this information. dentist is fine except my pulse ox is too low (BP was normal, oddly enough). i call mom from the front desk to inform her i am not where she expects me to be (to much confusion), and explain when she arrives. get back home and find the car that was worked on for two days last week is rattling and the engine seems frighteningly hot and it smells very bad and there's almost no oil because it is leaking, so now we don't know if it's safe to drive, except mom has a very important cancer screening tomorrow that she's been waiting for for two months (really longer than that because it's something she needed to do much sooner, but everything was in crisis last year, so she didn't), and we don't know if it will risk burning up the engine. i want to be put into a cursed repose for twenty years (/ever /permanent)

Hi there! So i wanna say, I LOVE YOUR MAMA XIANYUN POST THAT YOU RECENTLY POSTED!!!! I had wanted to say something about it after i sent that HSR request but i got busy for a bit so yeah.. Although i have questions, what’s a colt..? I tried looking it up on the internet and i dont think the results i got were right. Also can we expect any bonding scenes with Shenhe and Ganyu? When i was reading that post, i originally imagined Shenhe teaching the reader how to fight with a polearm but now, i imagine Ganyu would teach the reader how to use a bow (bc i cant help but imagine the reader and Yaoyao fighthing side by side, with the reader shooting down any monsters coming their way and Yaoyao striking down those who were already near them. Ganyu and Shenhe, Xianyun and Madame Ping, a long range fighter and a close range fighter fighthing side by side. Can you see what im trying to say here..?) although i have to ask, what kind of weapon do you think the reader would use in your opinion?

(Also im glad you like my HSR request ^_^)

hehe i'm glad, beloved <33

a colt is the term used to refer to baby cranes! apparently little cranes called colts because of their long legs. of course, it is also one term used for young horses, and horses are super fast. i made it a point for xianyun to make note of [name]'s youthful swiftness, so... for those two reasons, she calls them little colt <3 and yes! you can absolutely expect those interactions at some point within the series. i'm not sure when, but it will happen.

OHHHH IT WOULD BE SO CUTE FOR [NAME] TO USE A BOW AND BE THE LONG RANGE FIGHTER IN THEIR FRIENDSHIP WITH YAOYAO there will be a lot of bonding scenes with shenhe, but i haven't thought of as many for ganyu yet, so i think her teaching them to use a bow would be the cutest! and i feel as if it's somewhat fitting for them to use a bow.

now that's got me thinking about what their vision would be (and how they would get it).... both their big sisters are cryo, but that doesn't match them imo. anemo would be cute to imagine because then they would match their mama 🫶 but idk! if you have any thoughts on that, i'm open to hearing them c:

[gentlenotes-moved]

[watery-melon-baller]

woukd like to file a formal complaint for getting sick right now. I am in the midst of finals week. my project is due on Friday and I need to work on it. could i not have waited a few days. im drinking all the fluids and resting why is my body still unhappy. im doing all the things. please let me recover so I don't fail my fucking class <3

[moonlightfilly]

I think I need to stop waiting to have a close relationship with my siblings. All it ends up doing is make me sad every time I get home from a get-together. I think about the ones that didn't talk to me, the ones that only relate to me through their kids, the ones that only know things from 15+ years ago, I just need to let it all go.
