Anybody feel "under the gun" at the moment?

[TravelingMaaike]

I mean, are you anxious and stressed out about something? Something that draws near?

Like a phone call, work presentation, appointment, hearing, etc

[Wiredone]

Yes im stressed out. Work has died out. My bank account was hacked and now I have no money for bills. I went to get tires Saturday. As the mechanic was driving my truck into the shop a brake line popped. He goes to lift my truck on the lift and my frame cracked. Now I have to get rid of the truck

[exitseven]

holy crap. I am sorry. There is no coming back from a cracked frame.

[Wiredone]

@exitseven I feel like someone dropped a wrecking ball on me.

[exitseven]

@Wiredone I have been there. You will get through this. Get a new truck and go back to living your life.

[TravelingMaaike]

I'm sorry about your situation sir

[TravelingMaaike]

I hope you get through all this

[Wiredone]

@travelingmaaike Thank you. I'll get through this. I've been through worse and I'm still kicking.

Are you going through anything that you want to talk about?

[Wiredone]

@exitseven since my account was hacked and they left me with $28 , it will be a while before I get a new truck. I know I'll get through this, it will just take a while

[exitseven]

@Wiredone you are on the hook and not the bank?

[MinMinBabe]

yes i am anxious

i have a project dont understand nor do i want to do it but its imp if i wanna pass
what i dont pass with good grades
what if i can't do the smallest of tasks which other people seem to do easily
i am stressed coz what if i never achieve my dream body, not for aesthetics but for myself.. i sometimes am reminded of how i am overweight by 7 kgs and how it makes me undesirable in all the ways even tho i went through a major accident which led to the way it is
i have anxiety that majority of the people hate me
what if something is really wrong with me and i dont know
what if i never get those "besties" which everyone seems to have but all i have is temporary friends or fake ones or the ones who compete with me. i deserve real friendship too
but in the end i realize how loving my family is and how i have everything i need/want.

I took a day off work yesterday do get some work done on my house, get my truck serviced and look for a shed to replace the one that had a tree fall on it. The contractor did not finish, my truck is still being worked on and the shed place was closed. I feel like I wasted a vacation day for nothing

[goaded]

It happens.

[Wiredone]

So you took a sick day today to finish what you started yesterday

[exitseven]

@Wiredone No, I went to work today. The contractor cannot come back until next week. I got my truck fixed too anmd they gave me a free oil change and the warranty covered the whole thing.

[Wiredone]

Sure go ahead and rub salt into my wounds. Lol

[exitseven]

@Wiredone sorry but maybe you can look into that. How old was the truck? Frames are not supposed to crack like that.

[Wiredone]

Apparently it's a common thing with dodge trucks. I've seen a lot of them that people say the frame is shot. My truck was a 2002

[exitseven]

@Wiredone 22 years old, it really does not owe you anything.

[Wiredone]

I've got the mindset that things are supposed to last forever when you take care of it.

[exitseven]

@Wiredone Yes, I get that too. My house looks like a museum. Still 22 years for a work truck is really good. All good things come to an end.

[Wiredone]

That's my play truck. I don't use it for work

[exitseven]

@Wiredone oh, did you buy it new?

[Wiredone]

No I got it used. I bought it in 2019

[exitseven]

@Wiredone Buy a nice 4 wheel drive daily driver with lots of goodies, You only live once.

[tfan1]

Yes I have so many things going on. Mainly I got to help my 11 year old son with a project of his that his teacher is pushing Get this. It says to do at least one for credit. However if you want to get Full Credit aka 100% you must do more than one item on a list of 12 things. Each one is rated at different points. Some 10% some 15% some 30% and some 40%. This is due by the 29th. Ugh!

[Quogha]

Work doesn’t end when I leave the office. My phone is always on. I’m always planning, thinking, brainstorming. I do finally feel relaxed at night time, but yes…. I’m stressed, just like a lot of people.

[strateguy632]

yup! i have a work deadline but today Sunday.

[ProbablyClueless]

I have the Bar exam this coming Tuesday, so I've been studying my tail off for that.

[MysticDevice]

A lot of people feel that these days. Despite appearances things really aren't all that great.

[AngryCarl]

I'm procrastinating some stuff right now. In a way that's worse than having a deadline because at least you can get it done and then it's over.

[Overandunder89]

Not really. I have a lot going on, but I have it all under control thankfully.

What about you?

[legalboxers]

[NathanDavis]

[QuietRunner]

[Anonymous]

Constantly all the time

[OddBeMe]

Nah…at my age you learn it doesn’t really matter.

[goaded]

Oh, you poor old thing!

[OddBeMe]

@goaded actually I’m enjoying it. The “fuck it” outlook works for me. And I’m still not in jail. Yet,
