What put a frown on your face today?

Try to keep your blood sugar consistent

I know Lynx (Axe for Americans) is only for teenagers and absolute fuckboys, but I really do lament for the youth of today if this is what’s passing focus group testing these days.

My question to this is just: "Wtf does leather smell like??" And I once had two classmates who were twins and they absolutely reeked of axe everyday. So much so, in fact, that you could smell them even if they had only walked by in the hallway. It was ridiculous and truly was as though they'd bathed themselves in a bottle of axe.

Why do we Americans get a weapon’s name for our product? Too soon! Too soon!

I've sometimes set myself tasks like that, though I don't remember ever thinking I was doing so for my own enjoyment. Care to give an example here? I only ask because I'm not sure I've any clue what sort of task would fit this description, especially since it would have to be one that was ostensibly enjoyable.

Oh, by the way, how's the whole therapy endeavor been going for you? Have you yet had any more meetings with your therapist?

Just anxiety and a certain unpleasant sense of my own seemingly infinite inadequacy.

Trying so, so hard to succeed only to recurrently fail at half of what's important to me. I'm so stressed, so anxious, and I've no idea what I'm supposed to do. I feel like crying, but I've more coursework to do this morning and I've to send a peculiar sort of email to one of my professors, which I'm dreading.

I think I'm getting a migraine, which isn't great to begin with, but also since I've still a bunch of coursework to do today.

I feel as though I'm entering yet another depressive episode. Not fun! I thought I'd escaped the worst of it over the winter, which is usually when I border on suicidal for much of the winter months. But no, apparently it was just waiting to strike me during the summer. Great!

Sounds unpleasant, and you're not old until you can't remember whether you last saw your friend a week ago or over a month ago (that would be me lol).

Maybe it's time to consider another job?
