Well...for me it wasn’t by choice. When I feel very overwhelmed (and this feeling happens every now and then). It’s as if I become an animal in a bear trap and think of anything to not be trapped, even if it’s as extreme as wanting to end my life. Anyway, I was having an episode like this and tried to OD, felt my was…

Hello All! I’m saddened that I simply just don’t come around these parts anymore. Even Groupthink isn’t as lively as it used to be. Oh Well. My questions of the day are: Anyone reading has or is currently on the Keto diet, and if so, do you think it’s worth the sacrifice in the end? I wouldn’t be so meh, getting…

That’s awesome you were able to do that. How did you lose the weight?

Thank you! Will look into some support groups.

Heh. I suppose this is the best place to a comment like this, but I don’t suspect many people will read it. I’ve been feeling pretty shitty such last year, headaches, dizzy feelings, etc. At the beginning of 2016 my doctor told me I was anemic, so I thought that was the only issue.

Meh. Someone can fix him a plate and he can take it to go.

So...I’m at a crossroads in life right now. I guess I should be happy. Update: I’ve finally found a job after being unemployed for almost a year, but it’s food service and I hate it. I’ll be starting another position next week a little more along the lies of what would be interesting to me, but it’s still another…

Well. Good news and bad news. Good news: I finally have a job, two in fact. Bad news: they both suck and not what I want to do at all. Both food service. One is such a total waste of time that I’m pissed at myself for not just quitting today. The other is doable, but Jesus Fuck Christ, what is it with having younger…

I didn’t build it. Just a very basic wordpress template and it’s wordpress.com I think. So I can still write, edit posts, etc. but its limited in all what you can do. I tried to download the software to have a fully controlled blog, but it didn’t work for me for some reason.

Wow! That’s really awesome though. Seriously. I’ve always envied the film majors and early YouTubers back when I was in college. Even thinking of the art of recording, film making, editing, etc. intimidates the fuck outta me, so I’ve never tried. At least you have the skills and pathway to fully work for yourself.

Hey! Thank you for your example! That’s really helpful. I’ve had 4+ years experience in a library setting working with teens, and I know my experience would transfer well to other positions, but I’ve been having the damnest time actually getting that across in terms of cover letters/resumes. I’ve been trying to go…

Ha! You’re right. I feel like I should be more into blogging than I am, I just hate writing sometimes. I’ll get super excited at the idea of something to write but bogged down by making as well-written as I’d want it to be. I did start one almost a year ago, but I only did one post! :O

Thanks for the advice! That’s so nice you have a supportive sister. Of course my parents for just allowing me to live with them for so many years rent free. I know they care, but their minds are very “old school” and they don’t understand this new climate of how one finds a job.

Lol! I should just start saying “blogger” but then they’ll want my site name.

Hugs for you too! Thanks! :) At the very beginning I loved it and had all these plans for what I wanted to work on that I didn’t have time for when I was working, but just (and still) sleep all day if not watching TV. I don’t even enjoy television that much any more and am too broke for Hulu and Netflix.

Hey there! So for the very, very late response. Quantity over quality sounds like something I should start doing now. It feels like no matter how well you craft your cover letter, etc. The person on the other end is only really looking to see if the experience crosses over to the position you’re applying for and…

Super late reply. Hugs to you too! :) What industry or job did you have before unemployment? This week I’m gonna start at least working out or do yoga everyday at a certain time to create some structure in my day. I’m dying for a library position again, but sigh...I don’t know when that’s going to happen again.

Hi All! Anyone out there been unemployed for a while? What tips did you find helpful that started to get you interviews again? Admittedly my job hunt game hasn’t been on 100, but my depression been getting a bit worse and the biggest reason for me, is the lack of routine in my day. This upcoming week I’m going to…

Huh. I had no idea you could even do that. I’ve never bothered to write fiction outside writing classes I had in college and they were not...very good. I’ve thought about practicing doing fan fiction, but have never tired.

That’s very sweet of you to help your sister! :) It feels like every product is saturated to a point now that everyone can make up an online business very easily. Years ago I wanted to set up a vintage store...but now with EVERYONE selling vintage or thrift, it’s very, very hard to break into it. If only it was back…
