fml. Im having an allergic reaction and after a stabbing myself with my 100 dollar a shot epi pen and taking enough benadryl to make a horse hallucinate I still look like this

Now I realize there are people who pay top dollar to get injections to look like this but I am not one of those people and I would prefer to to be able to speak clearly than having big lips.

fml guys fml.

I'm from Canada and I generally get my epi-pens reimbursed... but my last one got frozen unexpectedly (damn Canadian winters) and I had to get one immediately without a prescription...

So there! :p

Insterestingly enough it seems that the epinephrine itself can take the freezing but the firing mechanism can be severely damaged (not much good if the autoinjector won't inject).

One epipen isn't even enough for me... I need two plus the benadryl and it still takes a long time for symptoms to abate.

Is there an urgent care clinic near you? I understand it's generally cheaper than an emergency room, and is designed for cases that need attention, but aren't immediately life-threatening.

not sure where this would go, so it should fit here. After much iffy-ness and awkwardness I finally sat down with my partner and talked about her moivng, and the way she has been treating me in the interim. Our housemate moved out early because the house was "really fucking awkward to live in" since she announced the move. we havent hugged nor kissed in almost a month. not from lack of trying. we barely even stay at the house on the same nights. Finally made her stop and talk tonight.

out of 6 years of dating, w have remembered/celebrated 3 valentines days and 2 anniversaries(both of us, not just me forgetting). We decided since she was moivng cities in a few weeks, and i was moving house in a few days, why not keep with the screwing of couple tradition and officially end it tonight. Valentine's day in our timezone. One last laugh from our slightly quirky relationship. She thought it was an awesome idea. So I just broke up with my long term girlfriend officially.

Now what?

Depending on the blue cheese, I either would or would not eat it. If it's a mild one, it'd be great. If it's a stronger one, it's obviously way too much. Looks pretty good, though.

*sigh*

An extremely serious relationship just ended catastrophically. I now find myself alone in the town I grew up in, with everyone I knew in the city having moved away years ago.

I've always been horrible at making friends (my personality borders on Autism Spectrum Disorder, though I've never gotten myself diagnosed) and I recently got promoted to a position where I'm now a manager of everyone in my age group at work.

Enter: depression :(

Cannot express how much I know exactly what you mean. 6-7yrs, moved to her home city (3hrs away from where I grew up) my only family contact now that far away, surrounded by her friends and family on all sides as well as nothing but places around me that brought up memories, ended like a whimper after many explosions. THANKFULLY, I wasn't stuck there due to work and I moved back to my old city with my brother and restarted life. Even if I had a solid job I probably would have left anyway. It was too much to deal with on a day to day basis.

Yeah, I remember you going through that a while ago... I'm glad you were able to get out of there and restart life.

My situation isn't quite as bad. I do have parents not far away, though I've long ago made a habit of not getting them involved with any of my personal affairs for a number of reasons. And my relationship only lasted 2 years, though it was with someone who had been a really close friend for 8 years, and it was the first relationship I've ever been in that was serious -- She was going to move out of state to go to medical school in not too long, and I was planning on moving with her.

Now I'm... not really planning anything. I'm trying to avoid falling into pity-party-downward-spiral while still staying on top of my job.

So... probably going to be around here for a while. And, uh... this feels a bit weird saying it, but I really appreciate you responding like that. I don't feel so alone, now.

Just know that for sure, as long as you actively try (that's the key, not just waiting for it to magically happen) it gets better. So much better than you expect, or think it will, but it won't be easy/easier. Work will be good as a focus, but make sure to spend ALOT of time making YOU happy. You're your only concern now, it's pretty liberating.

Sick of being sick. Sick of calling in sick. Sick of people at work not covering their mouths when they cough all over their computer monitors.

I must've called in sick five times in the last three months. This never happens. I'm usually only sick once a year. I don't even go to the doctor because it's so rare. I know part of this is because I haven't been sleeping well for a while and so my immune system's probably not where it should be. I will do better with that. But it'd be nice of the people who are retching and spewing at work would themselves take a day off to rest so I can stop catching this shit from them.

I started this illness Friday evening, passed it off as allergies or some such shit, and went on my NY trip anyway. The whole weekend, I had a fever, chills, stuffiness, etc. I really hope my friends didn't catch anything--they said they didn't care, they were just happy to see me, but I'll feel bad if they get sick. So now it's Tuesday, I was supposed to go in, and instead when I stand it feels like something's dragging my head toward the ground.

Looking forward to spring.

I don't even know how to do that, though... that girl was everything I focused my life on for the past two years, and even before that I was something of a recluse who didn't want to be a recluse but had no idea how to not be a recluse.

When I was with her, I started going out and having fun. I had never felt happier, finding places she'd want to go, taking her there, and enjoying my time with her.

Now I can't think of anything to do but sit around all day -- and I'm guessing that's not what will help anything.

For some it's easier. Others, not so much. Start simple, a hobby that occupies time and focuses you on it. For me it was MMO gaming. It was consuming and killed alot of time. However it wasn't the best outlet, but it was a start. From there I started working out pretty regular and feeling physically good REALLY helped. Following that I started getting more social with my circle at work and through them met even more people.

Again, it's a process but the first step is finding yourself a good place to be in, wrap yourself in that warmth and go from there.

Was going to be able to finally pay off my massive credit card bill with my next paycheque (I racked up a hefty one buying my two-way ticket to Beijing for an unpaid internship last summer). But the next job I'm starting requires a cintiq. Since I'll be freelancing from home and not technically employed AT the studio, its up to me to get it myself. So I just ordered one of these off amazon. Nearly maxed out my credit card again. This is a win, because I'm just freaking excited about the job, and because Cintiq. But I don't like the debt. I was really looking forward to only having my student loans to worry about.

Sorry Steinman, I think that's a legitimate complaint for the rant section.

I'm not going to Comic-Con this year. All passes sold out within an hour and a half. I thought getting a Member ID was supposed to make it easier to buy badges.

ALLERGIES. After more than a week of being sick at home, just two days after I got better... It's time for mucus and cough festival 2012!

I was cursing my allergies out earlier too. Damn weather changes. :(

And I've heard that in my area this year will be a rough one for people with my allergies because of the dry climate or something like that. I really hate this. It's awful because not only am I a snot factory and constantly wheezing and coughing, but I also feel sick, like when I'm just beginning to get a fever...

...but,of course, at least I haven't had to get injections like you had to!
