Having a Bad Day?: Get 'yer Hugs here!!

[S. Stormy she/her]

I got Annette, and Adult Ensemble.

I looked at the list and I didn't even know who she was, and it was kind of a let-down.

[Edema Rue she/her]

I’m so sorry. I recently had a similar experience with our school musical, and it stinks. Do your best, have fun, and feel free to cry as needed. It’s rough.  

[InfiniteInsanity she/her]

I have influenza A and it is better than the Norovirus which is what I got last Christmas. But today is my sister's 8th birthday. And she's getting baptized today and I won't be able to go because I'm sick. And it's finals week so I'm going to have to make up for almost all of my finals when I get back to school or eventually.

That sucks! I really hope that you can get feeling better soon, because it is a very special moment when you see your siblings get baptized and you are going to miss it and it hurts when you have to miss moments like that.

I'm so sorry that's happening to you. I hope you get better and will be able to do something to celebrate it with her and make up your finals.

I’m scared for a friend. I live far away, so I can only text, and I know she’s struggling and suicidal, and I’m trying to help, but I don’t think it’s working and I’m so scared for her. I don’t know if anything I can say will help her. I’m afraid it’s only a matter of time, and I feel so helpless.

I'm sorry. That sounds terrible. I wish I could say exactly what to do, but the best I can suggest is to talk to her and, if you are really concerned, contact someone trusted about the situation.

*hugs* That's scary! All I can do is mimic what Inverted said. 

Spoiler

I'm gonna put that on my seminary prayer board if that's okay with you.

There's this one hotline thing you can text or call and get help with helping suicidal friends. I would suggest using this if you're okay with talking to knowledgeable strangers about it. The strangers will never know who you are. You're not required to tell them anything about you or your friend IIRC. I don't remember it, but I could probably find it for you if you want, or you could probably find it just by looking it up.

...it's the last day of 2022. Damn.

[The Aspiring Archivist any pronouns]

Yep. Is that a bad thing for you?

Yeah, sort of. I keep thinking of the things I could have done and the time I wasted. It's a disproportionate reaction considering I'm only sixteen, but I always get like this at the end of the year.

Ah. I get that feeling. It just isn't always at the end of the year.

I think a lot of people have those kinds of problems on the holidays, though.

[Edema Rue she/her]

Feel that. Just sitting quietly, thinking about all the wasted time…yeah. But in the end, you survived another year, and sometimes that’s all we can say. 
Sometimes it’s nice to just sit and feel, but if you want to stop, my advice is to get out and do something, or alternately blast pump up music as loud as you can. 
You got this.

so today nothing is going as it was supposed to 

tomorrow is my english prelim and today was supposed to be good because if theres one thing i enjoy and am good at its english literature

but today started with my mom making fun of my clothes and then my brother was crying irrationally and there was generally a lot of noise and i couldnt concentrate, and then my sister wouldnt let me use our shared desk to study because she wanted to do something and so its 5pm now and i still have three short stories and acts 3 to 5 of merchant of venice to study 

and i had to go buy black gens because we arent allowed to use any other pens to write the exam but when i tried to go, the lift took 500 years to reach my floor and then it was jam packed with people like sardines in a can so i couldnt go. then it took 500 years to go back down and 500 years to come back, but by that time i could hear the cats in the building, 

heres the thing: my building is full of stray cats. 

heres another thing: im deathly scared of cats. 

so then i saw one cat slowly coming towards me intent on my blood, so i ran into the terrace where i was met with another cat. i ran back towards my apartment, and the cat from the terrace started coming for me now. then i started ringing the bell and my sister didnt hear for a long time cause she was listetning to music. 

and then finally opened the door and here we are: me with a crem ton still left to study, short of the materials i need for the exam and on my third cup of caffiene 

But its fine. I can do it. because if theres one thing i do not do it is give up. 

i am a slytherin. my victory may be delayed but it is inevitable  

Ambition, cunning, and pride 

still 

i kinda think my main problem is my sister 

people get irriated right? especially during stressful times like exams? so everytime she does something that i find irriatble, i kinda let it out. and then she goes on about how much i lash out at her and she reminds of everytime in the past where i "hurt" her. and then she does it sp much, that i think a million times before saying anything to her. if i point her own mistake she'll pout and then illl be filled with guilt and spend about ten to 15 minutes apologising to her or something. even now i could tell she was doing someething to distract me, so i told her to stop it, and then she started pouting and said she was doing nothing and the then i felt bad and idk...shes looking me with such a disgusted look on her face and i kinda feel shes trying to make me feel bad 

and 15 minutes have gone by in which i could have finished this chapter 

idk 

sorry idk if this even makes sense, i just needed to rant

okay i know it's been a while since this was posted, but i know exactly how you feel.

this happened to me last july.

i had a very very dear friend who was struggling and suicidal, and I did my best and nothing worked. she attempted, then I didn't hear from her for over a month. then she got back in contact again. i was overjoyed.

then she vanished again in mid september.

i haven't heard from her since. I'm scared, like you. Helpless, like you. Please, PM me if you feel the need.

 

and on that note;

it's happening again. one of my closest friends, my absolute best friend, was hit by a massive panic attack on saturday right before i was about to leave to go home after hanging out with them.

my dad texted me at 9:18 PM to come home, and they started having the attack at 9:20.

i didn't leave to go home until 10:20 PM. my parents were very understanding. I fasted and prayed the next day (fast sunday bc new year) for them, and they seem to be doing better.

could y'all also please pray for them? at one point, they said they wished they weren't here, that they were a burden, that no one cared.

my heart has never ached so heavily.

please keep them in your prayers. i'm not losing them like I almost lost River.

Not again.

That sounds terrible. *hugs* I honestly don't know what to say about your sister, but that sounds like a really rough situation. At the moment, I'm thinking that it sounds like she just wants to make you feel bad, and that's terrible. I hope you get feeling better, you can totally PM me if you want to talk or just rant more.

Today was mostly fine, but I'm finding it harder and harder to have proper social interaction.

So, not great.

If you need to talk to someone I am here if you need me, though I will admit that I am not the best at social interaction. At least with people at school, easier at other places like church but hardest at school.

I don't know how problematic this is but

in the past couple days I've been having trouble wanting to eat

I still eat, I just don't want to

and I don't know what/if I should do something about this
