What's Bothering You?

[Yoshi155]

Essays. I had one today, and I’m not really scared of failing since I think it’s at least a B-. What I am scared of is that not being enough for my parents, because you know, to them, if it’s not at least an A it’s basically an F. And I feel like this wasn’t an A because for that, you need to have 3 fleshed out paragraphs, but we only had 45 minutes so I only ended up having one fully completed body paragraph, half a body paragraph, and a conclusion. I think that’s more my fault for not coming prepared which is what I think we were supposed to do, but still. If this gets an A then I’m going to be shocked, but that’s not going to happen. I hope it’s at least not a C, since this is a summative.

Grades are fun when you have parents that are waaay too strict.

Always remember that you did your best.
No-one, especially your parents, should ever scold you for that. Good Luck with your result!

I havent eaten for the past 2 days and it’s really starting to get to me. Every piece of food I see or smell makes me want to throw up. I guess it’s just my loss of appetite after getting hurt so bad, but it sucks. I wish I could eat but if I try it just comes right back up or hurts.

Could you drink a smoothie or something? Or do you have any comfort foods, even like a biscuit or something? Just want you to stay safe

Been lying in bed awake for over 3hrs. Might be due to the 4hr nap I took this evening although I came straight up to bed immediately after it so hoped I would fall right back to sleep. Depressingly, that 4hr nap is the most amount of sleep I've had in any 24hr period since the 25th.

I miss sleep.

Edit: Okay, I'm feeling a bit better. I would like to learn to control my temper and not let my anger issues get to me too much.

This is minor; just my anxiety. Just worried that I’m annoying when I post something. I have a hard time getting to the point and drag on. Sometimes I go off topic too. >.<

Also, I got a ton of bug bites I think when I went outside to take pictures of my mom’s flowers. They’re bothering me so much.

I’m doing pretty good today, though I keep feeling the depression and thoughts about my best friend and the stuff that has been making me this way there.I miss how things used to be.

I feel like I have no self confidence sometimes.

I had to stop myself from saying bye to someone last night as not to embarrass myself. I always assume the best in people and think they’re acknowledging me. It turns out they were talking to someone else close to me in proximity and not me.

I mean, I kinda knew them so they weren’t just some random person. We don’t have to be best friends or anything but simple acknowledgment of my presence would be nice.

I don’t want to be entitled and force people to acknowledge me, and I can’t even tell if I’m being unfair in this instance. I’d be alright if it was some random person on the street, but this is someone I see often.

It’s similar to the instance I thought someone was going to hold the door for me, but they didn’t.

I’m starting to think that if I expect the worst in everyone, I won’t be disappointed.

I keep thinking about my mom passing away last month and the circumstances surrounding it. I feel a void and weird every single day.

I got the door literally closed on me yesterday. It was closing right as I walked outside, and my arm is still sore from getting caught. I even had a few kids LAUGH at me for getting hurt (I was headed to my 8th hour class).

Been consistently getting less than my necessary hours of sleep and I feel a crash coming.

[xSuperMario64x]

just in a tough place in my life right now, I think that's how the 20s usually go but no one really prepared me for this

This is a bit more serious than the things I have been posting about, but...

Spoiler

It looks like I'll be moving very soon. The lease is up in July, and they don't want to renew the lease. I normally would be excited. I don't have that much stuff so moving isn't really a pain and I think we'll be leaving most of these the things behind anyway. I'm really hoping my dad can find something close to our current residence because I want to keep my job.

I have BPD and have had my fair share of jobs I didn't like, so to have one I genuinely enjoy in almost every facet is unheard of. I can't say I felt this way about any of my other jobs. I don't know how much of it is to do with the fact my work is the only place I'm ever called my chosen name - Heck, not even my family does... but it must be more than that, right? I enjoyed the job before inevitably coming out to my manager and having everyone adjust to my new name.

I'm just not sure this is just a phase for me because I had this job for nearly two years - including the period in which I was borrowed before transferring completely to that store. I enjoyed it enough to want to work there more than just once a week when my availability called for it, and to be forced away from that environment because we have to move would suck.

My dad is looking for places in the area and there seems to be things available, but my mind is thinking about "what if I do have to actually move a reasonable distance away?" I'm hoping my dad can secure something around here... As someone with BPD, finding another job I feel this comfortable at and vibe amazingly with the people, even the ones I don't particularly care for, would be near impossible.

Yes, I am overthinking this all because of a job, of all things.

Oh God, I'm just realizing how bad some of my current friends are (particularly some Discord friends and school friends). While they're not terrible people, they have major flaws that could maybe be considered red flags.

I won't go into too much detail, but here's the gist of it: Some of them have completely different opinions from me. That's not a bad thing, but it sucks when they're constantly shoving their views down your throat and making you feel like crap for having your own stance on something. Some of them also have certain behaviours that make me uncomfortable. These include substance use, saying hurtful slurs and stereotypes, sexualizing people, etc. Some of these friends have also said really rude comments to me when it was totally uncalled for and never apologized for it.

And honestly? I feel bad for seeing my friends in this light, because they are caring and have been there for me when I needed emotional support, which I appreciate. But... Man, I wish I had better friends who were more thoughtful, considerate, and like-minded. I don't need another person in my life who thinks education is useless, or has unethical thoughts, or makes me feel like **** for having differing interests and opinions.

This year has been pretty awful for me on and off. I was almost fine for once today and then... no. I'm not sure if I will even recover from this.
