By NiceGuy Go To PostCousin died out of the blue earlier today, only two years older than me. Gonna have to go up to Peterborough for a premium fast-track passport to have any chance of making it to the States for the funeral.RIp. sorry to hear it.
One of very few people in my family who I've ever really clicked with, didn't get to spend as much time with her as I'd have liked living in different countries.
Shit innit
First time I've ever had someone I care about die unexpectedly, and first time I've had to break bad news to someone else as well. Weird having to correct myself on the tenses when I think about her. Will call her sister tomorrow, no idea what to say. They were siblings and best friends.

One of those things where I can't even pretend to blame anyone else if I don't get it sorted in time. It's been expired for over three years and I always meant to get one when I had plans to go abroad again, never even considered that I might want to do it at short notice. Can apply for an emergency travel document, but that might not even succeed and I'd need to ask for proof of death to be emailed over, and fuck doing that if it's not the only option.
Sorry to hear about your cousin, Hitch.
By Call Sign: Apollo Go To PostI have no idea what to do for the next 6 hours. That’s when I have to be at the airportHow was your trip overall?

I started work again a week ago
Still not back in the office though. I might take the plunge when more of my team is back. Would be nice to see people everyday again
(or would it)

It’s weird not having any teaching work to do this semester. I would usually be preparing before this week but now nothing. Only work I have planned is to do some observations for some extra cash ($800 for 30 hours "work" but I can usually do it in a lot less time)
Finance so only had a few days off for holidays because the market closed. Worked four days last week and three days the week before.
Enjoyed being back in the office, just right amount of load and craic with the colleagues

I love JFK stories
Geez, one of our best friends’ cats passed away. Little dude had to get an operation but he’s a 100% apartment cat and was scared af and apparently his heart just stopped on the operating table and they tried 40 minutes to resuscitate him. They felt a faint heartbeat a few times but that was it. Our friends go over there and he’s wrapped in a little blanket on a small bed and they say their goodbyes. They have another cat and they’re brothers, the poor thing gonna be crying when he realizes his brother is gone.
Not even my cat and we balling out here, the wife especially because she’s cat sat for them multiple times and hung out there many more occasions. RIP Oscar you were a legend.

Bringing back feels to when my cat rocky died. Her sister was depressed for weeks when she realised her sister was gone.
It's fucking me up thinking about it right now.

That happened with one of my current cats when his brother passed away. It genuinely, permanently changed his personality on the spot.
By Lego Go To PostI’m not enjoying life right now, live it mostly in fear, every little noise gets meBad headspace feels like purgatory,
I know the feel, brother.
Hang in there.
Make plans with people.
By blackace Go To Postwhat's up?
I had a big shock right before Christmas, new family members, family dying, parents seem quite ill and just moved into my first house (away from everyone I knew). Every text or notification scares me, and random noises around the house etc.
I can see other people in this thread losing loved ones, rest in peace to all those, I don’t know how I would handle it.
I’m not terrified, just always on edge expecting bad things to happen or bad news, and it feels weird, like you can feel the adrenaline in your body.
Thanks for asking mate ❤️
By Daz Go To PostBad headspace feels like purgatory,Cheers lad ❤️ I’ll try

In the last 4 years, I lost some people dear to me. One to father time, and one to an OD. My father is also quite ill. I flew to the states to introduce my daughter to him for the first time and to pick up the ashes of the two I lost.
in Jan, he has already been to the hospital 4 times and getting a notification from my brother or his wife just terrifies me.
I try to tune it out and focus on myself and family but it is rough..
By blackace Go To PostYeah.. I feel that.That sounds really rough, sorry mate. I guess it’s something that happens to a lot of people but just never been sure how people manage to stay so strong. But they do.

Distraction seems my best bet too. Wishing you all the best, and congratulations on the daughter!
By DY_nasty Go To PostAh yes my natural stateThanks bud, maybe it’ll just take time to settle, hopefully things calm down enough to let that happen before shit hits the fan again.

By Lego Go To Postjust never been sure how people manage to say so strong. But they do.I dont worry about things I can't control

By Yurtlicious Go To PostI dont worry about things I can't controlPretty much how I am. But that is probably just how I am that I am able to let go of things I have no control over.

After moving into new digs I had to get used to certain sounds and process them out basically as the new normal. Now I know what a package delivery/mail delivery sounds like versus something or someone fucking around on the porch, for instance.
By DY_nasty Go To PostNo hugs
Only grind 💪😤
You can grind during a hug tho 👀
