My girlfriend and a lot of my friends are having a rough time. I wanna be there for them but... I'm also having a rough time. So now I feel like shit AND guilty for not being there as much as I want to.

Painting a ceiling and it still being patchy. Admittedly I’m not the best at decorating, but still!

Last night my eldest sister Jane, who I don't get along with, moved back to Liverpool from Edinburgh after getting herself evicted from yet another place after getting physical with a neighbour. She went to her daughter's house last night and ranted and raved about the whole thing playing the victim as usual.
Grace, her daughter, got upset at one point and tried to calm her down. Jane, being Jane, than snapped on her daughter calling her fat, worthless etc, etc, etc. Grace's boyfriend tried to intervene but Jane wasn't having it so Jeff ended up calling me,
I went over and Jane was still going. I finally got a word in edgeways and basically told her I'll pay for her to stay at a BNB for the next two weeks as she looks for somewhere to stay. She then told me she'd be moving in with me and Leanne and I was like ''f*** no.'' she then yelled back DEMANDING to know why not.
So, I told her, I told her how she is an aggressive, manipulative, self-centred, bully. I also reminded her that when I first introduced Leanne to the family 20 years ago when Leanne and I were just friends, she made numerous racist remarks towards Leanne.
She finally shut up after that and pouted as Grace and her boyfriend took her to the bnb.

So now I feel like shit AND guilty for not being there as much as I want to. Can't be so hard on yourself. Don't want to get all spiritual, but there is a Buddhist principle that basically talks about how we can't be of help to others, until we first help ourselves.

My dad is in early onset dementia. He's in a rehab facility, for the next few weeks. He's starting to forget who people are. My mom had to tell him that I was on the phone.

My sister's been kicking off again and I've had to spend the best part of the morning sorting it out on her behalf because as usual she's refusing to back off or apologise. Naturally she didn't even do a fake ''thank you for sorting my mess out''.
So, that bnb place I was paying for her to stay in for a couple of weeks has kicked her out and I've had to offer to pay for damages so the cops didn't get involved again.

So in our group of friends we got one guy. Nice guy but just gets annoying.
For example,he wanted to start filming shows. I gave him a few tips. Now he is filming then wanting me to upload it to my channel. "Nah dude create your own channel. My net is slow and takes me forever to upload." Plus I already got my own stuff to upload.
Now today 8 times I have been asked if I have watched his footage from this past weekend. Each time i reply with "got it downloaded. Will watch it later tonight busy day"
Getting where I just want to scream at the dude. And a pile of others have reached the same point.

Having issues with GreenDot. When I went on Vacation last month I had put money on their cards so to use down there, a 1000 total on them. They never did work much to my irritation. So after calling them and apparently finally getting it settled, they still don't work.

"Look i have told you a few times I will get it watched later. It is easier for others to watch it if it is on say youtube.Not just unnamed files on a google drive link. You alreaady got the YT account go start uploading. then you can send a link that they can click to watch it on tv/phone/whatever. I will get them watched later." Now that wasn't my original reply. The original reply asked various questions about how soomeone could be this dumb and have 2 Masters come July. I felt I should be nice.....

If you are familiar with my previous posts about my 29 year old stepson, then it would not surprise just how much I empathize with you on this post. I imagine you are tempted to let the cops be involved just to either make her explore the ramifications of her actions or to simply let someone else deal with her. I’ve been there.

There's someone I know who weaponizes their mental illness. They just use it as a excuse to antagonize their friends and family. It's so frustrating as someone who has their own mental health problems. It's one thing to have backslides or relapses, but they don't even attempt to get help or treatment whether that's through therapy or medication. And I see the toll it's having on their family and there's really nothing they can do about it. It's not at a crisis point yet so they can't really force the issue either. Just a really shitty limbo.

It's out of my hands now regarding the cops. She kicked off again a couple of hours ago and is now at the police station after assaulting someone. But thank you for your post. It's been a stressful week with her and I'm supposed to be careful my blood pressure as well. Hope your situation improves regarding your stepson.

A new person at work checking my and a colleague’s work who seems overzealous and changing things just for the sake of it.

Getting an email two hours before something happened and missing it, because the place usually sends emails out informing people days before. Cool.

Had a zoom call meeting today. I successfully -confused myself on the timezone and almost missed when it started -was given a password and number code and lost both of them -needed one thing, wasted everyone's time looking for it across the room, then found it in a box on the floor behind me as soon as the call ended.
They're going to just mark me down as useless and delete all of my responses and I don't blame them.

my health insurance covered literally nothing from a visit I had to my doctor last month due to an error in their website, which did not accept things when I changed my insurance providers
I'm not going to pay this thing in its entirety sans insurance

My mother has two cracked discs in her back from 2017. About a week ago, she did the same thing she did back then and everything that happened then started happening again, to the point where she can hardly move. Following the pattern of the first time, we went to the ER on Saturday. Just like they did in 2017, they dropped the ball. Bet they'll be sniffing around for payment again, though. That being a holiday weekend, we couldn't get through to the GP 'til Tuesday.
GP's office gives us the runaround. We had to wait 'til yesterday for a call back.
GP's office wants us to go to the local spine clinic. Call up spine clinic, they can't get us in 'til the middle of next month. Nothing that can be done, they're booked solid 'til then barring a cancellation and were nice about it, but no way can she wait that long. Call GP's office back, because they said to call back if spine clinic couldn't get us in. GP's office wanted her re-evaluated at the ER. No way in f***ing hell, counting the two times in 2017 they've dropped the ball on this three times already. Immediately vetoed. Finally are begrudgingly made an appointment at GP's office but not with GP, something that also happened in 2017, for in the morning.
I'm getting very tired of listening to her crying in pain and frustration because of all these f***ing morons who want to f*** around instead of actually getting shit done. Hopefully this other doctor she's seeing will be like the other doctor she saw in 2017, who did get shit done.
Idiot brother keeps talking about chiropractors (what part of "two cracked discs" does he not understand?), Tylenol (she outright can't have that), and ibuprofen (ER gave her muscle relaxers and even though they're not working she has liver problems and we're not running the risk of that combo causing further problems). Getting sick of him too.
