Tis the Season for a Crisis.

I can feel the stress in your writing. I hope things settle back into routine soon.

But you really will be better off if you can find a way to deal with the anxiety. I have a friend who has been helped immensely by medical marijuana. Is that an option in your area? It has side effects like any drug, but it helps some people and isn't addictive. It might be worth trying.

I don't think it's ridiculous. I have some low level of social anxiety myself. I hope your brother comes soon.

Hope is not a strategy, its only a wish.

Hope isn't a wish. It is an assumption.

This is some crippling social anxiety. Can you text a sympathetic family member to ask them if the coast is clear and keep everyone downstairs long enough for you to use the toilet and shower? Then maybe bring you some toast or something?

This is a problem that needs to be resolved, but now you just have to work with it and well as you can. Get someone to help you, or else just grit your teeth and go. You can't just sit in your room and pee on yourself and you need food and water.

Here's a weird little history/commentary the phrase.

Between this and the gingerbread people controversy, one might think newscasters have food on their minds lately.

anyone know someone famous?

Not me. I'm pretty much a recluse. I don't even know anyone not famous except my family.

I do have a few dozen inexplicable Twitter followers. I don't know how many are human and how many are bots, and I don't know why anyone would follow me on Twitter.

felt like throwing some math :/

I need more time than that.

8 hours working, 8 hours sleeping, 2 hours commuting, 2 hours eating, bathing, dressing, 2 hours cooking, cleaning house, chores. 22 hours of work for the world -> 2 hours for yourself. Unless you work longer, commute longer, or have more obligations like family or second job.

For some people there are weekends.

Nobody believes or understands me usually when I say that it's "bad timing"

Your animals need you, sure. But mostly the reason to live is that the world would be just a little bit less without your unique spark.

Everyone goes through hard times. You just have to push on through.
