Warning... rant coming through (it's not pretty).
I'm super frustrated right now - nothing's going the way I ever thought it would/ should/ could go. And I feel like everything is a total mess!
1. I'm ill - doctors haven't taken my complaints seriously for over a year now. Finally they realized there's a problem and have ordered a bunch of tests and scans. But leading up to this point, I mean... how many normal ultrasounds (9-10) of them did they need before they realized they should probably look elsewhere?!
2. Because I've been unwell and haven't been feeling great, I've lost all my jobs and grad school connections because I'm unreliable. And it's super difficult to tell your bosses, supervisors, etc. that you're ill when you don't even know what you have and everything seems super vague.
3. My grandmother was ill last year - thankfully she's getting better (some good news, right?). However... my dad's convinced her to sign everything over to him in her will, and he's abusing his power of attorney privileges - he's sold her house, sold all of her belongings for $1000, kept the money, has spent $170k of her savings within 5 months (on things like new cars and stereo systems), and put her in a communal room in an old age home with people in worsening condition. She complains she can't sleep at night and wants her own room. She asks him for money. His response, "Not anymore." He's also told the government that she no longer has any assets of her own, so they're subsidizing her care - he gets to play with her money, she gets to live miserably, but at least she feels like she's been a good mother. *sigh* I've told the police at the start of this stuff...they said they would nab him - nothing.
4. I'm dealing with an ex who is particularly erratic... we agreed to put our past grievances behind us and work on a friendship (after a lengthy time-out), and then all of a sudden I get these random e-mails saying how vindictive I am, how evil I am, and how horrific I am. Literally a week after he told me how much he thinks about us and misses us. I have no idea where it came from, but when you're already dealing with BS, having more BS thrown on top of it (in the form of personal attacks no less) does not a happy chrixxy make.
5. I have neighbours complaining about my regular living noises that aren't even really destructive noises (I've posted about this elsewhere).
Is it possible to just tell the world to f off (or at least hold off) until I can get my head to stop spinning?
ARGH!
Carry on...
