I just got back from Ireland, and it was amazing except for that one day I uhh...let's just say it got real bad and the dark parts of my mind almost got to me

That was very not fun

 

 

Oh hey! I went to Ireland once, some years ago. It was amazing, except for that one day when my social energy suddenly burned out and I locked myself in my hotel room and curled up on the floor under a pile of blankets in a corner of the room and cried for two hours because everything was wrong. That was not very fun.
(Not trying to detract from your experience, just sharing a similar though probably more mild experience of my own.)
Glad you had some epiphanies and came back alright.

Except my brothers 14 (?) and you'd think that now he's like a teenager in highschool he'd act a little more mature, but nooo.

On a similar note: what is with parents bringing up the most depressing conversation topics during fun family outings? I'm just tryna eat a burger in peace, mom I love you but I don't really want to hear about the tragic life of a 17th century princess that you learned about in a podcast.

Bro my sister @Aredhel will go on tangents on the holocaust at random. I DIDNT WANT TO KNOW THAT BRO

Can you send them to my house instead? I would love to hear about the tragic life of a 17th century princess or some neat parasites or holocaust facts.

Tension, huh? Do you know any grounding or breathing techniques to help settle tension in the moment? 
You said it's just "general tenseness" - is this a somewhat normal thing that comes and goes? If so, what do you usually do when you feel tense? Is it usually this strong when it comes?

fr though, I love learning random real-world facts! And more, I like listening to someone talk about something they're interested in.

This meme sounds amazing to me, and the reason I haven't gone and signed myself up is because I would either a) get overstimulated by all the notifications on my phone and spiral, or b) never get anything done because I was too distracted learning about random things.

Those notifications actually seem awesome. I know some random facts, but my family gets tired of hearing them. Apparently I forget and repeat them over and over

Oh. My God. My dad has a filing cabinet. He can’t for the life of him tell you thathe was supposed to start the laundry, but he could tell you the year, month, and day of release of just about any song from the ‘70s through ‘90s, as well as what he was doing at the time.

Okay okay ladies and gents we come presenting: ACTUAL CONTEXT

 

So, today marked the opening night of our show, and it was kinda hell almost the entire time. Ran into a past technician and we got to talking for a bit, mostly about what had changed since he left. I brought up like 2 concerns and then he goes and tells me one our lighting techs has been a mole, and has been leaking information out to help the butthurt tech that quit feel better by trying to get that teacher fired. I went to talk to another tech about it and we sent the teacher and email, and went into her classroom and we talked about it. I explained he has issues with the way the Stage Crew is treated, but we really aren't treated badly. Overall It was just a stressful situation and I moved on after it got taken to an admin, the 5 minutes later said admin returns and says we can't tell anyone about it. Which just left another mento in the coke.

 

FF to open. The opener  music sounds great, I said hi to my family, to my girlfriend, then went to do my job. That's where the problem started. It was constant messages and people telling me to push thisand pull that out nd do this and the music is too quiet and this and that and I just pushed it out. At the end of the show, I go to apologize to the teacher, she says it's fine and that the actors should've been louder so the mics did what they were supposed to, which made me question why mid act 2 she said I'd rather go deaf than not hear them, push them out of the towers. So I disable the monitors and push it out of our towers full blast and she's still telling me to push it when I can't anymore. So 5 people are actively telling me how to do my job and this other BS and I was about to lose it. I ended up slamming my fist down on the counter to get them off of the back seat driver circle, shut off my equipment, and left, drove to the temple, and screamed and came close to crying on and off for 30 minutes while shaking nonstop. 

 

It's been like this since I became a department head for our tech crew. All that blame goes here. I'm just tired of it. if the rest of the nights are like this I might have an aneurism, like on ZEUS dude nothing I do works anymore. To make the longer part of a much longer story short, I think I'm quitting my tech crew after our show is done. I don't want to have to deal with it anymore. I don't think. I could do it.

 

Now that's where I end, because the sleeping meds I took are working by some miracle and my computer now looks like it's melting and the characters are waving on the screen. I will  likely finish this post tomorrow, so call this pt 1

 

G' night

Oh no

It sucks so much to have other people turn what you enjoy into a horrible time

Sad to see you quit, but it is probably the best option (if you can't make them stop)

Glad the meds are working though

Sleep well, good night
