I walked away from the area where I wash dishes at where the machine is for 30 or 40 seconds and came back and this massive light fixture was laying on the ground broken. When I came back to the dish pit I was wondering why it was darker Then I see this massive light fixture laying on the ground I literally could’ve got seriously hurt and I can’t believe I walked away at the right time. Everybody at work was joking about the final destination movies and now I’m paranoid something else is going to fall off the wall or ceiling. The second photo is where it came from the ceiling not sure if you can see the hooks where it’s missing The third photo is where fell and landed and where I work at. Then they asked me to take it outside and clean it so that they can have somebody fix it and put it back up. It’s funny but actually not really funny and now I’m looking at the ceiling a lot. That can FRO. Stuff falling from the ceiling Can FRO
I literally was gone for like 30 seconds and there’s no way I wouldn’t of got hurt in some kind of way if I was standing there somebody said it might be good karma because I’m doing the right things. But now I feel anxious about being in that closed area even more
@Just_Laura your apartment stories remind me of the building I lived in before we moved here in 2020 . We lived there for 11 or 12 years and MAN the shit we witnessed, experienced and got into while living there
@bluekoolaid_88 glad you’re ok and completely understand why you’d be a little freaked out. For me the Karma jokes would have made it worse . I’m definitely not 100% confident I got enough good karma banked yet considering my past
I was joking with my manager afterwards that is also in sobriety about all the things I’ve survived because of my addiction and how I’m definitely not getting taken out by a light fixture falling from the Ceiling! Hardhats not a bad idea maybe I’ll get some knee and elbow pads as well might as well be an extreme sport washing dishes.
That’s pretty crazy. Sounds like something that would happen where I work. Glad you didn’t get hurt
I get the feeling tho. Sometimes (not every time), when I drive down this one road, I get this irrational fear of a tree falling on my car. I’m not sure why I should honestly be more worried about deer, but no! Trees Irrational fears can FRO.
Teenage girl attitude and door slamming can FRO. I love my daughter but HOLY SHIT sometimes.
I’m pretty sure my refusal to react or engage is making it worse right now too…
All drivers in their fucking zoom zoom cars who think it’s a smart idea to pass/overtake a vehicle that’s towing a trailer and then quickly slow and turn! You guys know what they can do? Sure you do!
Teenage boys and men who should know better, driving shitty 1.2l cars with a modified exhaust that makes their car sound like a broken tractor. Here’s a tip SOUND DOESN’T EQUATE TO POWER. It also doesn’t make up for your tiny penis. FRO
Okay i have an hour commute one way into work every day and this drives me absolutely nuts. And why are they always riding someone way too close? FRO, overcompensators
I always wondered what that was? That gun fire exploding popping sound from those crappy cars. I try to be nice in my head and I think maybe that’s their hobby but deep down I feel like it’s a life crisis they’re having. When that sound goes off it scares the crap out of me. Especially if I’m walking down the street and not expecting it
Insomnia can FRO! I’ve had periods throughout my sobriety where sleep is no problem and then I have periods where Getting to sleep is difficult. The last couple weeks I’ve been struggling to sleep and the melatonin is not working anymore. I’m physically tired but my mind is not and I hate tossing and turning so tonight I’m just going to ride it out and not force sleeping. Luckily I don’t have to work tomorrow. I’d rather read on here, listen to music or go for a walk Even though it’s 1 o’clock in the morning then toss and turn for three or four hours.. that can FRO!
PS: I have made appointments to get prescription sleep medication but I have canceled my appointment at the last minute every time because these medication‘s realistically just make me tired the whole entire next day even more tired than the initial insomnia and not sleeping. Eventually my sleep pattern will get back to normal and this is just a side effect of being bipolar 1 which is manic episodes. My psychiatric medication Can only help so much with mania and not sleeping and sometimes I have periods or weeks where I can’t sleep and that’s just part of my story. If you know what I’m talking about than you know.
I also deal with sleep issues from time to time. I find taking 500mg of magnesium a bit before bed can be helpful for this. I’m not saying it always works but it can’t hurt since it’s something the body needs and uses and magnesium is something most of us usually aren’t getting enough of .

I should honestly be more worried about deer, but no! Trees 
Irrational fears can FRO.
