My day was...interesting. I just found out that I have a chronic illness. And while it's probably not the end of the world, not even that much of a big deal even, it hit me harder than I care to admit.
Mostly i feel powerless because I know it's something that will never go away or be cured again. I'll have to depend on medication for the rest of my life, wich means my chances to make it in the event of a zombie apocalypse have just been drastically reduced I guess.
On the upside, as long as I take my medication, pay attention to certain rules and lead a healthy lifestyle, I'll have a completely normal life. I'm not quite at the point where I can really appreciate that though.
That weird feeling of powerlessness still persists. |
It's great that that's one of the things you take away from it 
It's not really much of a negative after all.

Thanks man! :)
I'm trying to stay positive, especially since it's really not that bad. Things are just a little wierd right now and I know I'll get used to it.

Sitting at home with the flu, hoping i'm well enough tomorrow to go back to work. I hate my job but I gotta do what I gotta due. Would like to kick back with video games but I've got homework that I should catch up on so I'm gonna do that for the next 3 hours. I hope your mood picks up quickly.

Maybe you're not at that point yet and this isn't the right moment, but I'd say you should leave your job if you hate it. The optimal approach to life is doing stuff you enjoy as often as you can.
@SuperNova, it's a weird thing that. I'd normally associate a chronic illness with something really serious but if you can still live a relatively normal life, I don't really know how I'd feel about it.

It's an autoimmune thing in my case. There's just certain things my body can't process and others it can't produce and i need regular medication and check ups to rectify that. Ka-Pi's diabetes example is pretty close really.
