Was clearly feeling too nice when I woke up so I rewatched Sicario. Is good. Am sad.

@ebel that would be great to read
@TipsyTentacle ah nice, this reminds me I still haven't finished that game!
I do not feel terrible right now. That is good.

Depression is fun
last week this unicorn in a box appeared on a street corner along my commute with no explanation and now it's just, there, I guess
the box gets more opaque the closer you get, which I presume is some kind of artistic statement. there's no sign or explanation or anything
though tbf this is no weirder than the last installation on this corner, which included, among other things, a metal sculpture of a man-sized ball of clutching human arms, all joined at the 'shoulder' https://witches.town/media/Ug1t-_Iz_IozHQHl8Pk https://witches.town/media/uGPkngcU-fAJCz4RKmk
Any other Wales-based folks in this instance?
On my way to another campus of my uni to see a financial advice person and beg for some money so I can live and finish my coursework :)
I shouldn't have left it this late to appeal the rejection of my initial hardship application but hey ho that's my brain for you. I'm moving out tomorrow. Partner is putting me up at his new place for a month. Hope I can find somewhere to live and folks to live *with* soon.
Fingers crossed I'm gonna get through this. Going to need all the luck i can get.
@ebel very much same. Good luck and solidarity, stranger.

Felt a pang of optimism just now. Regret it already. I hope I can feel good about the future, or my future at least, sometime. The urge to stay alive is often a bizarre one. So at odds with everything I know and witness and the everyday grinding of people and potential into dust. I need space. I need time. So do we all. I'm so far from being certain of anything. I'm so angry at myself and much else. Never knowingly not exhausted lol.
Reminded by the language that a lot of folks on here use of how ashamed I am to be British and having not become fluent in more than one language yet. I'm nearly 27 ffs.
Finally asked my uni for some more financial help. Still have over a month til deadlines for loads of work, but almost run out of money already. End of overdraft. Sad times. Took me nearly months after the first request was rejected (ugh) to build the courage and motivation to try again. Finger crossed.
Depression is rubbish
