What's Bothering You?

[VanitasFan26]

guys it's May 5th and it's still absolutely freezing in this room what the actual ****
it's only nighttime too so I know it's gonna be even worse when I have to get up tomorrow morning to get ready for my interview, it's always colder first thing in the morning

Same here. When I get up its cold and then later in the day its suddenly hot.

I’m completely burned out and I don’t have the motivation to do anything.

Someone keeps peeing by the laundry room door.

It's 3:20 AM and I cannot sleep, I'm literally shaking right now. I also want to watch Poofesure, but it'll surely wake up my family. And there is no way I'm using my earbuds, I'll go deaf when he rages.

Just pulled an all-nighter on a weekday, aka when I have school. Sure, I may feel awake since I'm staring at a screen right now, but I am positive that I'll end up sleeping in class today.

I decided it was early enough to go downstairs. My step-mom woke up and immediately started nagging me. Can I just eat my breakfast?

Yeah mine has already got to that point so I've had to just delete the software from games I don't play as much and reinstall them if and when I want to play them. I'm assuming that you would just need to swap the one card for whichever game's software/savefiles is on it.

I remember having the Wii U with the least amount of memory. So when Smash4 did its last update I didn't have enough memory to patch/download and play the game. I got lucky and had a spare flashdrive/memory unit that held some insane amount of GB and used a usb cord to plug into the Wii U. It was for school, but I reformatted it for my WiiU/Smash and it worked great.

I haven't done it yet, but I've been considering seeing if I can use it the same way I did so with the Wii U.

Yeah, I've been archiving some stuff recently, was just a bit unsure how much data is needed for say like when we get that new pokemon game coming out or any eshop games I've been wanting to play.
I will at somepoint get another sd card; just have to note down what sd has what.

Wii u actually looks interesting, or psp looks interesting to buy as well. I need to get a memory card for my wii so i can actually play lets go to the city anmal crossing game

Chapter??:

So that store actually got back to be about that lost package, or what we should call it. Apparently it's customs in Netherlands separately from DPD etc. keeping my package hostage in customs. What is so hard about contacting me to pay customs if needed, or let it go? It's just a vintage suit not a bomb for ****'s sake.

 

[-Lumi-]

I am just. Really sad. And I don't know when the feeling is going to go away.

Also my tummy is upset. Maybe because I'm sad I don't know

 

[moonbyu]

i wont lie... i think i have generalized anxiety disorder. that, or im just extremely paranoid.

 

[_Rainy_]

my entire body is protesting today. It's not like I'm in pain just that my body feels like noodles. Really just want to go to bed and not looking forward to the long day ahead.

Just waiting to hear an update on something that happened earlier this week and it's got me completely on edge. It's suppose to be good news too but until it's confirmed my anxiety is coming up with endless alternate scenarios.

i wish my mom would be supportive of me just once. earlier this week, when i mentioned finally being able to take a break today (after going to appointments once a day all week), she just scoffed and was like, "what after going to a few appointments?" as if just getting dressed and going outside doesn't completely exhaust me. just now, i admitted to her that i was kind of excited to 'start' my new volunteer job on monday, and she just started going on about how i should get a real job if i'm that excited even though the process is completely different and a real job wouldn't allow me anywhere near as much freedom or support for my physical/mental health. i thought i was finally making some progress, maybe, but now i just want to cry because even that isn't good enough apparently lol.

While I know this is easier said than done, especially when it's coming from a parent, try not to dwell too much on the opinion of people who think it is okay to undervalue your achievements. If finding the energy to go out daily is difficult for you, and you've accomplished that this week, then you deserve to celebrate that. The only way that things are going to get better is if you go at a pace that works for you.

Volunteer work is still work and it is a great place to start building yourself up from - especially if the standard 9-to-5 isn't something you are capable of right now. You will be developing the same skills that you would be building in a paid work environment and it should help you to become more confident in yourself and your abilities. So try not to let your mum make you feel as if the work is invalid or not good enough just because it doesn't have as many hours or come with a monthly payslip.

this is actually relevant to my life right now as well. just a few days ago (I may have posted abt it here, I think I did) my dad was playing song covers for me that people have posted on yt and he would say stuff like "look this person does only covers and has 150k subscribers" or "when are you gonna start using your degree?" or "why don't you perform anymore?". it's so disheartening to hear a parent constantly be dissatisfied with what I'm doing with my life. it especially sucks bc my dad basically lacks empathy so even though my mom and I both have disabilities he still thinks we're just being lazy and not wanting to do anything. I talked to my therapist abt this yesterday, and the point she brought up was "men [or biologically male people] tend to be go-getters who want to solve problems now, whereas women [or biologically female people] are more willing to take time and process everything before making decisions, and are more attuned to emotions." there are some exceptions, I know, but my dad is one of those people who wants to solve problems now and he wants me to put myself out there right now and have a vocation. but I'm not interested in that, I'm trying to rebuild my mental health and take care of myself right now. only I know what's best for me, and that applies to everyone else; only you know what's best for you. you just have to tune out those who don't care to know the full story and would rather push you into something you can't do, or don't want to do.



anyways enough ranting. I was just bragging abt how my acid reflux stopped when I started taking my meds separately in the morning, and then like 30 min before my interview today I had another episode. I didn't even take both meds yet. idk what caused it but it lasted for about 3 hours and it didn't go away until I took an apple cider vinegar capsule like 15 minutes ago. I'm finally starting to feel better but ugh.

also want to draw but I'm feeling really tired and kinda under the weather so I might just go lie down for a bit. I hate feeling this way so often, it's annoying.

I just heard that Covid Cases are starting to go up in New York and I'm concerned about my sister and my other family members who live there. This is why I hate spring. The pollen is making people sneeze and of course causing Covid to spread around more easily. According to the News Media this could be potentially the 5th wave.

As the old saying goes "Pandemics are often stopped when enough people just follow the rules" sadly in today's society that doesn't seem to be the case. There are more people still being anti-mask/anti-vaccine and there are those trying to lie about being vaccinated just to get inside when they are feeling sick. It makes it difficult to tell who is vaccinated and who is not. Ever since the Mask Mandate has been dropped this has becoming more problematic. Its like a repeat of last year when the Delta Variant came and everything went haywire.

My Instagram account has been banned for "buying followers and likes" and I haven't done any of that. My account is on private and the only people that follow me are people I know. I haven't even posted anything to like/had any new followers for about the last year. Furthermore there dosent seem to be a way to contact them about it so it's just really frustrating.

Just like I predicted, I slept in class. All of them, actually. Luckily, my teachers didn't seem to mind too much.
I almost fell asleep in Math class! I guess the lesson was pretty boring... My teacher seemed to be in a good mood, because she just said a hearty, "Are you dozing off, [my name]?" She's usually very strict and would've blown a fuse if she caught me sleeping in her class.

Spoiler: Mentions of Drool? Just a Fair Warning

I also drool in my sleep, so when I wake up at the end of class, I have a puddle of drool in my face mask. Gross.

I did an evaluation in French to test my French-speaking skills, I guess. I hate those evaluations, I get so fricking stressed about it. I don't think I did too bad, but my teacher said that I should talk louder next time.
I'm very worried about some of my online friends because they seem to be very down lately, they say I shouldn't worry about them but I can't help it...

My ear training is not going so well right now which is kind of bothering me. On the other hand I enjoy playing guitar and learning music so much that it fills my heart with joy every time I think about it.

I’ve met a couple friends today, and one of them didn’t seem to mind me. Well, she did, maybe it was just me. It’s a long story, but she seems to get along better with others. I tried to keep her only for myself, but it didn’t work (that sounds very manipulative, but I was just trying to be a good friend). Every single person I want to become closer friends with, just finds someone else whom they like better. I tried to avoid this this time, but here we go again …
