The problem will be if you don't pick yourself up from this and attend to your symptoms.
Are people really mad at you, or is that what you think they are?
My best friend yelled af me my other best friend is mostly just disappointed. I am pissed at myself
I can totally empathise with that self-anger. And I'm sure your friends are more worried for you than angry with you. Anxiety can manifest as a bunch of different emotions. You're not the first person to fall off the wagon and you won't be the last. The virtue is in never giving up on your goals or yourself.
I sit here waiting and occasionally I think of that guy in my house and my stomach drops and it sucks.
You have a squatter? Or you had a break in?
I had a "I'm a stupid doo doo head and forgot to lock my door and heard said door open at 6am this morning and saw a guy in the dark hallway who said hello and promptly left and I saw him dashing up the street and ugh"

That is terriffying!
It is! And it's really tempting to just sit in a corner and hate myself for being so stupid and potentially compromising what is intended to be a safe haven for my sister. But that's counter productive. I've learned something from it, so I pick myself up and keep striving to the goal of having a safe house.
And I picked up that philosophy from a stick figure comic, which probably undermines it but I don't care!
I'm not sure what, exactly, to make of it. That isn't meant to be disparaging in any way, more that I watch an episode, it ends, and I am left feeling not particularly much at all by the end of it.
i don't think rw boots are hipster they are probably the most popular men's boot thing recommended on the internet
they are no more hipster than like, bulleit bourbon or slim fitting suits or any of the other 'modern man' elements recommended by dudes who wish they were james bond
dudes like me i mean

I would wear those boots if I had the capability to find anything similar down here in Australia, where shoes I like are impossible to find
RMS, do you not have a yale lock on your door that locks it whenever the door is closed anyway? Because if you don't, you should get one.
Locking my door currently requires a key, alas. I'm tempted by Yale, though I will have to talk to my parents about what happened to justify it, since they hold a key to my house. I'm sure they won't mind however.
RMS, it's your house, though, right? You can just tell your parents you're getting another lock and give them a second key.
Forgetting to lock your house is a common mistake, to be honest, so don't feel too down about it. I have left my keys in the lock more than once, which is far worse. Yale locks are the answer to this problem, not a strict regime of locking. The yale lock takes the problem entirely out of your hands, and is a far better choice anyway, as if, God forbid, there's a fire or something, you want to be able to get out as fast as possible. With a yale lock you turn the knob and leave. With a normal lock you have to go get the key, insert it and turn it.
The normal lock is for securing your house when you leave it. The yale lock is for securing your house at all times. Two locks are what you want.
I drank ten bottles of wine over three days. I dont remember those days or what I was thinking.
Now im having withdrawals and everyone is pissed at me and my stomach is probably bleeding
First of all I'm sorry Neco you have all of my well wishes!
for reals if you think you might need to do doctor times do that because that is the right call
The last time I got wine drunk (three bottles in a night because I really like wine apparently and also I don't ever drink it anymore because) I drunk dialed over a dozen people, half of which talked to me for over 15 minutes according to my phone, 2 of which were ex-girlfriends
on christmas eve
i started dialing after 2am
aaaaand I just realized it's 5:30am. I worked a 12 hour day and I have to be up for work in five hours to go back and actually fully do my work things literally 1 day after fully coming back to work after being on a leave of absence for two and a half months so i am going to go to bed now.
What are those Yale locks? Are they just locks that are normally locked instead of open?
Exactly. So whenever the door is closed you either need a key or to be on the inside to open them, where you can turn a handle or a knob or something to release the lock. On the outside there's just a cold, unforgiving keyhole above the normal handle and keyhole.
The locks at my house are locked by default. You have to willingly override the lock from inside so it stays open. Sure, you could forget that, but it's better than always having to use the key to lock your door.

whelp, another day of waking up early feeling anxious. was able to fall back asleep at 1:30 a.m. but at 4:00 a.m. I couldn't do it. So here I am at work. I've already put in 37 hours and I have two more days to go. It's a pity that I'm not paid over time. The designers/drafters on this project are making bank.
Yeah, all outside doors here will always have 'falling' locks which means that if you shut the door, it's locked.
It does mean that people occassionaly get locked out though (which means i advice people to trust a neighbour or friend with a set of extra keys, because locksmiths that come to your house are hilariously expensive)

Also I guess this is not really appropriate for chat. I apologize.

Your cruel treatment of gharbls continue to be unjustified.

It's a common brand of locks that use a latch to lock on closing. So a key is only required in one direction
Also when I moved in here I thought the lock was broken.
Turned out you need to pull the handle upward first to engage some latches, then you can turn the key all the way.
That is how my current lock works.
locks are massively different in different markets
I never thought about it
Yale isn't a type of lock though, they're a manufacturer
and I cannot for the life of me find the kind of thing you're referring to on their site
It does mean that people occassionaly get locked out though (which means i advice people to trust a neighbour or friend with a set of extra keys, because locksmiths that come to your house are hilariously expensive)
