I might be able to get around the asset limit issue. We will see.
But this is just a hedge in case my share trading plan doesn't work or doesn't work well enough. So far I still have hope in it but I have to be realistic about it. Volume constraints mean that it won't make me richer exponentially. And there is still the chance that I have just been lucky. And I still wouldn't be comfortable renting on it.
Another plan I had was to rent a small and old house or apartment or something but property and rent prices are insane now. Particularly in SA. Houses in Adelaide are more expensive than those in Melbourne now.

I had a horrible week.
When I was in Victoria a few weeks ago I used my old bank card instead of my new one to buy fuel. That bothered me a lot due to my OCD while I was in SA. I felt like my bank account would be corrupted.
So on Monday I made myself drive all the way back to Geelong to buy something on my new card and I went a bit further to Mansfield to tell myself the reason I had drove back to Victoria was not for a stupid reason like that.
Then I drove back to SA, stopping by Geelong to use card at more shops to make sure.
As I crossed the Border to SA I didn't see the SA welcome sign. Which hugely bothered me. So I had to go back again. I planed to turn around in Victoria and go back to SA. But I couldn't find an appropriate place to turn around due to OCD. Then when I did I had more OCD issues that made me turn around again. So I couldn't get to SA.
Today I made an Oath to Athena that I would keep going until I got back and that if I turned around I would get rid of $30,000. This worked and I am back now.
But as I entered SA I missed the sign again. I think it might have been taken down.
So I am still bothered.

I was quite bothered by the border issue ao I tried to cross the border at a diffrent point and cross back again but that didn't work as I couldn't e en make it to tne border so I am in the Psych ward now.

No.37671
>>37668I didn't get to the border. The point where I had to turn onto the freeway was at a set of traffic lights that you turn into traffic to go onto the freeway. The car in front of me entered the crossing and I followed him. But there was too much incoming traffic so we didn't turn. Then the lights went yellow and the oncoming traffic stopped so he turned and I followed but as I left the lights went red.
This really bothered me but I swore to Athena that I wouldn't turn around for OCD reasons. But it got too much and after about an hour I had too. But the first sign I saw when I turned around bothered me too. So then I had to find another spot where I could turn around without being bothered so that I could then find another spot to turn around and then go back to the lights to pass them again but on a green light.
This didn't go well and I was just driving up and down the road like I had been in Victoria. It was too much so once I managed to get back I handed myself in to the psych ward. I couldn't handle it and my attempt to fix things only made things worse and if I try to cross the border again like this it would end up the same. So I didn't have any other choice. I just wanted it to end. And it was either kill myself or go to the psych ward.

It sounds like the right choice. Somehow you managed to get your mind into this really weird place. I don't think you have it in you to hurt anyone, but you can't really operate well and the circumstances just keep getting worse the more you try to correct it with your own logic.
How much did you tell the psychiatric people? Did they put you onto some sort of prescriptions and program or are you just stuck there until they diagnose you?
No.37675
>>37674I didn't tell them about my sister.
They didn't diagnose me I told them about my OCD and the reason I am here and they prescribed SSRIs.
They also are doing therapy. I am here for about 2 weeks I think. They said that therapy and medication should shoe impacts in that time.
But because I am here voluntarily I can actually choose to leave if I want. I also got my phone charger back. They took it because of the cord but they gave it back now.

I'm being discharged on Monday now.
Yes it's free and boring. I just stay in my room all day. That's part of why I am being discharged early. Because I am deliberately avoiding everything here so they don't think me being here will help. They will set me up with the centre for anxiety disorders and I will contact GP to see if I can get psychologist.

Somewhere called the Fleurieu peninsula.
There are also whales here. But I couldn't see any.
Also there is an island with Penguins on it. But they only come back at night so I missed them.
Also I went to a mine. But there wasn't much of interest. Just some old buildings and some holes. But that's better than Victoria I guess. The buildings here are mostly stone so they last longer. In Victoria they will say there is an old mine and there will be nothing there because the buildings were wood and it all rotted away.

I finished 1984. I noticed that there is a book thread om AMV but I already posted about it here so I'll finish it here.
Ehh. I didn't like it as can probably be gathered by how long it took for me to finish it. I would pick it up and read a few pages, get bored and stop.
I particularly don't like the ending.
Even though I don't like the book I can still see why it's important. Or that is what I thought up until the ending. The ending diminished that.
The way it ends is both depresing which I didn't like but it's also supernatural and silly. It has a character who can mind read and it ascribes weird and over the top motivations to the party. I think if the ending had been grounded and realistic then it would have an impact but as it is it undermines itself

I will be moving in with two of my sisters now. Including my favourite sister. But I won't do anything. I don't want to get kicked out, I'll have nowhere else to go.
They only have a really tiny spare room available and we are not sure how this will go. So I will be there for a two week trial and then we will see from there.
So then hopefully my struggles will be over. If this works then I just need to live there until a public house comes available or I figure something else out. Like if I work on game development.

Due to my circumstances I wasn't abbe to watch much Youtube for 7 months or so. SO I have a huge backlog of things to watch. I thought that entertain me for a long time. But none of it interests me that much, so I only watched a few videos. It seems like Youtube isn't very good any more.
I think it's due to two reasons. Firstly because most channels are limited in the material they can talk about before they start scraping the barrel. For example Atlas pro made lots of interesting content in the past but then ran out of things to talk about so the stuff he has made hasn't been interesting for a while now.
And secondly I think it's because it's all the same. BY this I don't mean that the channels are the same as each other(though that is true to a degree as well) but more so that each channels essentially just makes the same thing over and over again. Forgotten weapons is a good example of this(and also he suffers from the first issue as well).
It's just boring. Even in my comfy set up on a lounge I don't feel like watching anything any more.
So I'm playing Age of Wonders(the first one), I was playing Viictoria 3 but it's not very good.

When you think about it, the trend of ironic dialogue online and in western media and also alot of the social activism in gaming and such are both just modernism but occurring to a more modern medium.
SO we will enter the post-modern internet and gaming landscape soon.
