What's Bothering You?

Today was just not a good day. It's the same crap that's bringing me down; Struggling in school, arguing with my family, missing my mom. Today was also my English teacher's last day of the school year. She was really understanding about my situation and was a great teacher overall, so I'm really gonna miss her. Just... I don't know. I literally feel like ugh right now.
 
put a prescription refill request in on monday. if they don't say it's ready tomorrow, i'll be (unwillingly) off my meds. maybe i could've put the request in last friday, but the turnaround time is only supposed to be about three days, so i figured a whole work week should be long enough and yet! if i get withdrawal symptoms, i'm going to cry. hopefully it gets processed before those can set in. (though i might not be able to do a sunday pick-up, so. i'm really hoping for tomorrow...)

Pretty sure my mail went to my neighbours place and he threw it immediately in the trash. Super tempted to dig through his trash. The mail man people just put any letter in any mail box. Its really frustrating

Looks like our mail, sometimes neighbors give it back when they don't like it, opened of course...

I hate how sensitive my skin is. It hates any change in routine.
 
Woke up today remembering how afraid I am of adulthood. I'm not an adult yet, turning 18 this year, though I don't really consider 18 or 19 to be "adulthood", at the very least it's before you fully transition into one imo.
To be honest, i've been afraid of becoming an adult since I was 14. I've heard nothing but horror stories online about it and it's a bit hard to stay optimistic knowing that life being tolerable is finite.
I could care less for the responsibility, but it's everything else i've heard that makes me so pessimistic about the future. Knowing that one day my friends won't have time for me and most of my time will be preoccupied with work makes it hard to enjoy myself knowing that one day my life will essentially be "over". I'm aromantic too (particularly the type not interested in relationships beyond friendship), so if my friends don't have time for me, it is going to be a very lonely few days.
It's not like I can really have memories to be nostalgic over either. Most of my life as a teenager has been plagued with mental health struggles and i've never any real life friends say for my brother. They say to enjoy this period of my life and I feel like i've wasted it.
Is it really that bad? I guess I could try and make my 18 and 19 year old life count.
 
Been doing unwell both mentally and physically and things are especially bad today.
Also really worried about the weather starting Monday. This house doesn't do well in that kind of winter weather. I probably won't be able to sleep in my room which is pretty stressful for me, especially after getting the cats that don't like behaving. I love them but can they please not try to make my life more miserable... Please just behave and sleep on the couch or something. Not go climb furniture, knock down the Nintendo Switch, go behind the TV and press a switch that shuts off what the wi-fi is connected to... Oh, and repeatedly get on the stove/counter. They do that too.
 
The giant protests in London and the bad feeling that accompanies it. Handwritten anti-semitic propoganda posters have been stuck on a bunch of lampposts this week, along Brick Lane of all places, which has upset the Jewish community. I understand the strength of feeling from both sides, but when it turns into outright hatred towards people who aren't even remotely involved in the situation, that's gross.

I'm in a very similar situation right now. called my doctor on Thursday to have a 90-day prescription of my anxiety med sent in (bc insurance refuses to pay for a 30-day supply so it's almost $50, whereas a 90-day would be ~$20), and neither my current pharmacy nor the one I used to go to have it. I even had the doctors office call me back for confirmation and apparently that meant nothing. I've been out of my anxiety med since yesterday and the doctor's office doesn't open again til Monday, so at the very earliest I won't have my anxiety med til Monday afternoon. yeah, I feel like they really care. can't wait for anxiety symptoms to potentially set in tomorrow when I'm not working!! :,,,,,,,)

I'm just so tired and exhausted and annoyed today. I don't know what's wrong with me, I don't know what I need. I don't know what to do.

i usually get a text when my prescription is ready to be collected but haven't heard anything today either. my mom said she'd check with the pharmacy while she's out (because sometimes they have it and just. don't tell you) so i'm crossing my fingers. if it's a bust, who knows when i'll get them, i'm just hoping i don't get withdrawal symptoms from suddenly stopping. i once went off my antidepressants purposefully, and it made me very ill for a few days. not interested in reliving that lol, especially through no fault of my own. i'm sorry your doctor/pharmacy are being unreliable 🫂

So many adults will try to tell you that being a kid is the best time of your life. However, I don't know any adults who would want to endure their own teenage years again. I certainly wouldn't.

This is only one account, but I can tell you as someone in their thirties that I spend significantly less of my time in work than I did on school once you factor homework/studying/etc into the equation. I walk out the door at 4:15 PM and don't think about work again until 8:30 AM the next morning. It's my choice if I want to fill my evenings with domestic tasks or if I want to see friends or do something fun. I don't have the same friends I had back then except for two people—one being an ex-girlfriend I recently reconnected with after 13 years—but I've made so many more friends as an adult. They are friends I have more in common with, actually, because we became friends through mutual interest rather than because we were shoved in the same room together 8 hours a day. I live with my partner and I meet with friends at least three days a week, usually more. I keep a wide social circle so there's always someone down to get a coffee and catch-up.

Becoming an adult can be a great thing. It's scary, yes, but it is the time when you get to take over the reins in your own life rather than living by your parents rules. If you're unhappy with how your teens unfolded then you'll likely have a good idea of what needs to change in your life to make it better. You'll change so much in your twenties - early adulthood is just the start of a bigger, better chapter in your life. Once you reach the point of being fully independent and self-sufficient it is difficult to fathom why someone would want to go back.
 
made the tragic mistake of buying myself a cappuccino today, because it was cold as heck and I figured it would help me warm up. over the last year or so I think I've been developing a lactose intolerance, and I guess after having not drank any milk for a while, my body isn't really used to it anymore. so I'm paying for that cappuccino now, warming up for a bit wasn't worth this. guess I'm not drinking stuff with milk/cream in it anymore haha oops.

i wish people would just tell you straight up if they really don’t wanna talk to u!!! instead of being annoying abt it and leaving u on delivered for hours and when they do answer it’s the most uninterested response ever!!!! and it hurts especially when they are the one person you actually wanna talk to and they could care less abt u!!!!
