Welcome to the club of wanting to say things but not knowing how. Being scared is a part of life, I think. I do not know that we could appreciate joy if we didn't know what sadness, loneliness, and other things felt like. Remember, the Knights Radiant always fill the cracks with something stronger. You will do the same. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asking for help can be hard, but i believe in you. Something that has helped me is making a goal. Just a small one, one you can reach easily and feel accomplished for having done. Then you might think, "that was definitely a step off of the path that i'm taking that i dislike." It could be cleaning your room, or taking a walk, or drinking some tea. Anything that you will feel better after having done. Doing something like that when i feel awful has helped me, and maybe it's not for everyone, but i would try it. If you want to vent or go into more details, please don't hesitate to pm me <3 Edited August 22, 2022 by Szeth's Facepalm 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Draginon he/him Posted September 8, 2022 Report Share Posted September 8, 2022 Not a bad day but just a ‘this coworker is being frustrating’ thing. This particular coworker acts like everyone, and I mean everyone, is giving too much ice cream away. I was trained that you fill up the cup and for cones have 3 swirls on top but she thinks that’s too much ice cream. She even gave a ‘demonstration’ on how much and she even said it was still too much. I could understand if it was just our area but every single venue that has ice cream? Heck the Harry Potter area has 4/5 swirls as their standard for cones and she was livid at that one. What made it worse is she thinks her standard applies to places not even owned by Universal itself like McDonald’s and Disney World. Theres another coworker and she always acts like a jerk. One venue it had been a few months since I was there for closing so I needed a moment to remember all the steps of what was needed and that was unreasonable for her. Heck I was squeegeeing the excess water towards a drain and she had a problem with that. When emptying the shake machine for cleaning she got on me for not getting big enough containers for the shakes even after telling her I got the biggest ones available. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That1Cellist he/him Posted September 10, 2022 Report Share Posted September 10, 2022 *Hugs* I know it doesn't really help, but some people are just annoying. You have to learn to live with them, even if they really, really get on your nerves. Also, sometimes people act like that because they are really stressed about something, or are having a rough time. Regardless, *Hugs again* you'll do fine, you will persevere. I believe you will. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin Sedai she/her Posted September 10, 2022 Report Share Posted September 10, 2022 (edited) So our city was already under lockdown, but a couple days ago our entire neighbourhood became a high-risk area. Nobody is allowed out of their apartments, and there's mandatory testing every day. Food has to be delivered. It's irritating, but not a huge inconvenience to me, since I don't go out much anyway. It does feel a little dystopian sometimes though - there was a knock on the door today, and it was a bag of vegetables from the government. dystopian. hah. that's not dystopian. Being woken up at twelve in the night to do COVID testing is dystopian.

Only a little bit sick of each other, and on the whole it hasn't affected me much. Something crazy though - and I swear to G-d this is true - for the last few nights they decided to do mandatory COVID testing at twelve o'clock in the night. I have no idea why. Bureaucracy, probably. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elf They/them Posted September 18, 2022 Report Share Posted September 18, 2022 I'm sorry for the double post It is a Sunday night. It is currently 11:46 pm. I need to get up at 5:30 am for school I have been trying to sleep but i am experiencing an intense sensory overload because my older sister has been chattering away on the phone to someone for the past 4 hours. Non stop. The lights are also on and now every little noise feels....horrible and she's still talking away and i mean even the feel of the sweater against my skin feels far too much and the cold is intolerable and i have nowhere to go to escape this. I feel highly irritable and just overwhelmed and i really, really want to sleep but i am unable to I really don't want to be sleepy at school tomorrow 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
