The issue is that I can't control my own fears, and I've become the rock for everyone—my parents, my husband, my colleagues. At work, I'm responsible for other people's livelihoods, and this month's recession has hit us hard. Everyone expects me to have all the answers when I don't, and I'm terrified we're all going to end up on the street. I can't afford to break because so much depends on me, or so it feels, but I can feel myself fading. I'm starting to get numb. Yesterday, I found myself looking for a sturdy spot in my apartment to hang myself. I remembered someone I knew who used a window latch, and I actually wondered how they managed it... I really don't like these thoughts. 😢

Hey drag Ivy, I guess you just have way too much on your plate right now. You're carrying everything and feeling responsible for everything. I get that losing a friend or a dog is devastating, but you can't carry the weight of the entire recession on your shoulders too. Trying to single-handedly save everyone's jobs is honestly asking too much of one person, and I think you're pretty strong. Maybe try to let go of some of it. The world isn't going to end. 😉 Instead of spiraling over these things, maybe just take a walk, listen to an album, or try whatever else people here have suggested.

Homeopathy's successes are basically just pure placebo effect. ☕

So, I picked up some Opti-Free, popped in my new lenses, and people at work actually noticed I look better today. Maybe they'll last a while...

Btw., did anyone else actually have issues with Complete?

Kate Cox2 said:is... honestly... after using monthly and quarterly lenses for years, compared to these bi-weeklies, those old ones feel like bricks. I don't think I could ever put them back in my eyes again....

I ended up having to wear my bi-weeklies for almost a month because they got stuck at customs, and since I have a pretty rare base curve, they weren't available anywhere in town, blah blah... Anyway, the Johnson & Johnson ones held up great, didn't irritate me at all, and now they're basically my favorite things ever. 🙂

Rebecca Myers38 said:I'm getting ready to try contact lenses for the first time soon. I was thinking about going with some monthly Johnson & Johnson ones. Is it true they don't really make those anymore? 😲 I guess these bi-weekly ones are a little pricey. 😠

They’re expensive as hell, I guess, but they really are great.

My eyes have been super red lately, so I honestly thought I was dealing with some kind of allergy. Turns out, my Complete solution, my contacts, and the case all just went straight into the trash. I guess we'll see what happens now...

Maybe you should go get some blood work done? A coworker of mine dealt with something similar, and their GP sent them in for tests, only to find out their blood sugar was through the roof... anyway, I'm just crossing my fingers for you because I know how much eye issues can suck.

Smith or Mercury. I’ve actually had to call both of them for emergency services twice, and I guess they were both pretty solid.
