What's Bothering You?

[Chris]

I discovered a wound on Sebastian's jaw. It doesn't require a vet visit, but last time he had a minor wound he irritated it to the point it needed intervention.

We still had leftovers of the anti-inflammatory cream he was prescribed last time, so my partner held him while I applied it. Hopefully it keeps him from scratching.

He has some matted fur as a result of the wound, so I think it is time to invest in a cat-safe razor and claw clippers tomorrow.

Spoiler: Sebastian

Edit: Still really stressed but I got the okay to stay home. As much as I didn’t want to go even if I was feeling better, I still feel really bad. I’m glad my sister and family were really understanding. I expected both my dad and sister to be upset, even though my dad when he is there will not want to be there either (he has bad anxiety and doesn’t treat it).

No dms or replies please.

Spoiler: Topic randomly gets heavy

I know I can't take care of myself well but I really would like to not have to live with my parents anymore, especially mom. I can't take it anymore after her obliviousness to me physically suffering. She's always oblivious. I don't think she actually cares about me if she's going to pretend my problems don't matter because they make no sense to her. I bet if I was dying the symptoms leading up to that wouldn't be obvious enough to her either. I'm probably not safe around someone as clueless as her.

Did you know untreated tooth infections can sometimes be fatal? I haven't dared brought this up because knowing her, she'll pretend that's not a real a danger I have been in for the past 5 years. (That's how long I haven't had health insurance to see the dentist)

Anyway, the current issue is she still didn't understand what happened to me yesterday and my chest sure is hurting right now.

Spoiler: 😬

I really don't know how to feel right now. There's this guy from school who's been trying to reach out to me for a while, and today I caved in and responded. I guess I used to sit in the classroom where he was during lunch break last year, and he took an interest in me but I kind of withdrew from him because I'm very shy.

He wants to be my friend, but, like... I have no idea how to approach this. Heck, I don't know if he likes Dog Man or Pokémon or anything else I enjoy. I kinda feel uncomfortable for some reason? Maybe because he thought I was "cute"? I don't know. This feels weird. I've already gotten used to having online friends exclusively so this was unprecedented.

Spoiler: update (good news)

So it turns out I have good reason to feel uncomfortable. This guy somehow managed to find my name through my binder a while ago, and then he discovered my school email and started messaging me repeatedly there. I don't even know a lot about him, and I learned he transferred to another school recently. Whenever I blocked him, he would just get around it on another account.

I've talked to the staff about this and made sure to block as much of his accounts as I could find. Since the staff already spoke to his family, I can guarantee he probably wouldn't reach out again.

This kind of reminds of the other guy from Discord that I blocked a few months ago who kept asking for hugs, lol.

I feel like… idk i just don’t like myself a whole lot today

 

[AccfSally]

I don't like feeling left out and I really hate how there's idiots online that are making it far worse than what it is now.

 

[Devicho]

I always feel like a broken record when I bring it up elsewhere, but man do I miss the way the internet used to be, honestly. I'm glad forums like this still manage to exist, but I miss when active forums weren't such a rarity. Social media is an utter cesspit on top of being boring, thanks to the internet going from feeling like a vast ecosystem, to one where a tiny handful of websites dominate. Not only does it make every large website feel really samey thanks to immense user overlap, but as someone who has always been more of an outsider who is drawn to niche and often unpopular things, it makes it really hard to find "my people". I had a lot more fun online when I could lurk around until I found a forum that felt right; on social media I instead find myself keeping my head down as often as possible, which doesn't even prevent me from receiving drive-by harassment because some random person didn't like something I drew or whatever else. It's tiring.

I love my dad to death, but I CANNOT STAND coming home to the A/C being off. If you're cold, please put on a blanket! We live in FLORIDA. If the air is off, the house WILL and DOES get over 80F. My room also has bad ventilation so when it's hot it's HOT. If my spiders die from being too hot imma be a little pissed.

deleted, was questioning something for a moment but I feel better now.

Spoiler: Personal Life Issue: Massive Fallout with my Sister

I had a massive fallout with my sister since November 2024. She really ticked me off. She’s selfish. She acts like she’s doing everyone a favor, but it’s all about control. She doesn’t help—she meddles. And when things don’t go her way, she lashes out. Calling me a brat? That’s rich coming from someone who throws a tantrum whenever someone disagrees with her. Yes, our relationship was strained because we had unresolved tensions, and she's been out of touch with the family.

Whenever we talked, she would always speak badly about Dad and Mom. I know she will get mad at me for saying this, but I don't care. Every time, she secretly helped me out and not them. She never once came to help mom and dad with the situation when it got so bad. All she did was talk on the phone, offer unsolicited advice, and not do much to help the situation. They constantly ask questions without even listening to what is going on. It really angers me how she was more concerned about only me and not my parents and the whole situation.

She could say "whatever" she wanted, but actions speak louder than words, and she wasn't doing enough. Just giving me advice and not really doing much "action," ordering me around like I was a servant to her and keeping me silenced about what not to say. It felt like I was in prison.

I have a lot going on this week. Not a lot of things, but things that are affecting me mentally and it’s hard. I wish I could fast forward to the end, to be sure everything is going to be okay.

Animal Crossing New Horizons:

Wanted to collect more stones so I could craft more hedges, so I went on a mystery tour.
Zipper T. Bunny had the NERVE to REPLACE MOST OF THE STONE SUPPLY WITH STUPID STONE EGGS. AAAAARRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!!!!

Now I can’t easily craft hedges. If the stupid stone eggs weren’t there, I would’ve gotten a lot more stones. BUT NOOOOO. I ONLY ENDED UP GETTING 5 STONES. THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF STONE EGGS I GOT WAS 18. WHAT THE HECK?????
I HATE BUNNY DAY!!!!!!!

My youngest cat was sleeping in the sun, and I went over to see him. I didn't expect him to swipe and catch my eye.
I think, what it is is that he cause an eye lash and it was coming out, like I could pull at it but I didn't. I stopped.
Tried to keep my breathing settle as I just hate anything to do with my eyes.

I waited till I went to get my mum as she was just coming back from meeting a friend and we went to the GP
But they said I had to go to A n E because they didn't have stuff to check my eye.
Currently there now, to wait.

I just get anxious when it comes to people touching my eyes, and was worried what a n e was like as I've never been here before
Hoping I dint wait long

 

[Mimi Cheems]

Still really sick.. Pushing through though! I've been on an antibiotic for a few days now, along with steroids for inflammation and such. No fever in a while, so I did go to work today since they said I was allowed back! ^_^
New job has been really nice so far. Even if I'm kind of exhausted ;;

 

[mogyay]

so disgusted at the uk on this day and I'm sick of a bunch of weird evil politicians deciding who is and who isn't a woman , state of the place honestly and so sick looking at the evil old women celebrating it like they haven't just taken us back in time
