I've posted an SU on this, but:

My parents have taken my technology away indefinitely at home due to my behaviour. Just wanted to let you guys know that this is why you can't contact me at night now. It's because I'm slightly erratic and can get a bit out of hand. Last night, my brain wasn't fully on board and I annoyed them one bit too much. Now I've got no tech at home except for homework. They don't understand the full reason why I'm on the Shard, even though I've tried explaining it to them. They're Generation X, so that's part of the problem; they don't fully trust the internet and the people on it. I've tried explaining that the Shard is tight-knit, and I am Internet-aware.

The worst part is that I feel I'm on the edge of a mental breakdown. I can feel one incoming. I don't know why or how I can feel it, but I can, and it's the worst feeling. So now I'm anxious. (Reference @#1 Taln Fan's post above)

My sister is still in the psych ward in the hospital, and I'm also freaking out about living on my own.

When I turn 18, it's out of the house for me because over the last 17 years, I've worn my parents down, and they have very little patience, and they want me out. So, I'll have to find an apartment or shared house or someone's basement to live in until college starts. 

I also need a job. 

I'm not doing well in calculus.

So… yeah…

I ain't doing well.

*hug*

I’m so sorry you’re going through this. But things’ll get better and you won’t have to worry anymore

i don’t know the full gravity of this but my brother was in the same spot

He and my mom were screaming a lot (hopefully yours isn’t that bad) and they hated each other

they said they’d kick him out at 18 but ended up letting him stay 

idk your parents but your their son. Even if they are out of patience im sure they won’t leave you completely stranded. They might help you a bit. Like some rent money or something. Idk if thats very helpful but i promise it will be ok

So earlier this semester there was a Google form to fill out for AP test registration. My school has a grant that makes social sciences AP tests free. 

The roster for the test got released last week and my name wasn’t on it, which I found weird because I knew I filled out the form and said I wanted to take the test. I went to the office and talked about it and my name wasn’t even in the system at all. 

So

I’m upset about it but the only reason I’m crying is because of internal hormone releases

Edit:

*sigh*

I stopped crying and I've calmed down.

I don't know

The lady who coordinates it wasn't here today and the secretary thinks she's already ordered the tests. I don't know if there's anything we can do.
