There are seasons. I at least find it useful to think about periods in life as such. Certain seasons, say an icy winter, are unbearable and while you are in the middle of it, it can be hard to believe that nights will shorten and days will grow warmer. 

It's the same with tough life periods. While we are in them, it's hard to imagine that things will change. But it will change and the current pressures will let up.

Thank you

*hugs* I hope things will get better for you soon. In the meanwhile, we're all here for ya.

The Infernal Season of Heat has already begun here in the Pretty-Much-South. I'd forgotten how terrible it is. I can take temperatures below freezing just fine, but a degree above 80 and I'm a mess. Someone save me.

On top of that, my dad's being sent to Germany over the summer. So that's not gonna be fun.

Why is he going to Germany?

He works for the military, and long story short they had some people over there going on vacation for the summer and decided to send him over to make up for them.

What branch?

Life just WON'T STORMING STOP, WILL IT?! 

 

You'll pull through this. Look back. Look at all the stuff you've gone through so far. You can make it through this, too, and find something better on the other side.

Noone has said it.

It is apparent. People forget about me within 2 seconds of meeting me. People walk away mid conversation, their eyes skim passed me as if I am part of the scenery, I wander around so much, everywhere yet nowhere. An eternal cycle.

And I'm storming done with it.

So if you caught my post in the happy thread about Alligator Alley, then you know the first half of the story. 

The second half is that the band director announced that we won't be playing it. Why must the universe torture me so! I've wanted to play this song every since the seventh grade!

@Queen Elsa Steelheart Thank you. *hugs back. You too @Mestiv

Ah that sucks man :/

My throat hurts so much I wish I could stop swallowing. Anybody here has unkeyed bendalloyminds so I can stop eating for a while?

[ShadowLord_Lith he/him]

Unfortunately, no. I'm a copper misting. But, I have some advice.

 

Fill a cup about 3/4 full of water, add a few drops of lemon juice, add some honey, mix well, and heat in a microwave until warm. My parents call it lemon honey and it soothes The throat like no ones business.

 

If that doesn't work, try a similar mixture but replace the lemon juice and about 1/4 of the water with some apple-cider vinegar. It tastes terrible and goes down hard, but it does help.

Sorry for the pain, and I apologize for your having gotten sick. If there's anything I can do, let me know.

[TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her]

Elderberry cough drops are seriously magic. And they don't make me woozy the way menthol ones do, so those might be worth a try. 

[Jondesu he/him]

So my family got sick for about 8 hours each, but felt fine in between, umm, "getting sick" times. I've been sick for 3 days now, still can barely eat anything, and feel miserable all the time, without being able to actually expel anything. I did sleep through pretty much the entire day today, so that was ok.

When people do that to me I decide they're not worth my time and move on. Also, to a lesser extent that was me in High School. I;d say something, nobody would react, a minute later someone would day the exact same thing.And I'd be like "hey I just said that!" and someone might turn round "Oh did you? Sorry". It's a matter of finding the right people, and on a more technical level, do you mumble? Try talking louder and clearer and see if that helps.

Yeah, I heard about it this morning. Luckily, I don't think many were killed...what I heard said only one I think?

[Hemalurgic Headshot he/him]

I think the report is three dead, including the attacker and a police officer, and more than twenty injured.

The pain didn't go away, of course, but it's bearable now I can swallow with pain but no longer I have to gather up courage to do it.

Err. Honestly, the only people who i talk to happen to be on this forum...

I used to be quite loud and raucous, and I loved to pretend everything was ok (heh) . Lately, I've become very reclusive and repressed. Whenever I speak, I do speak quite loudly and firmly. (Unless it's a bad pun...). Honestly, I will be completely engaged in a conversation with somone, and then, say someone calls out to them from a distance away, they will literally just walk away and go to the person who called them. I have a group of friends with whom I hang out with, and they accept me and everything, but I tend to go ignored in general.

I don't usually speak about my problems clearly here. (end up as poems or some incoherent garble). The day I posted it was one of the most stressful days I have had in a long time.

By then I had been awake for another one of my three day streaks -_-. and I decided to polish and practise my Photography assignment which was due the same day. I attempted studying for my math exam (also same day -__-) and...well I have trouble studying, so I ended up drawing and things. Enter father. My father hates me doing anything I find joy in (at this moment in time I had already been banned from drawing or doing anything, so I was doing so in secret). He is the sort who basically is, like, study 24/7 or go to hell. Anyway, he caught be drawing, bad things ensued. And I left home already on a bad foot.

I catch the train to school alone, which really bothered me for some reason, and then when I got to school I made my way to my usual group. Now, when I get there I end up wandering around in silence, observing what is going on and occasionally joining in on things which interest me. That day, for some reason, no-one greeted me, which is normal (I usually greet people, and they reply). And the fact no-one said hello or anything that morning really pissed me off.

Class starts and I start off with Art. But instead of prac we were doing theory -_-. So I ended up sitting there idly doodling whilst half listening to the teacher ramble about Pop Art (I had already completed the set tasks)

Then I had my Maths exam, which was horrible. 40 storming questions. AND 50 STORMING MINUTES.

When it comes to Maths I am a slow worker, it's hard for me to get engaged when doing Math. Usually I am able to focus when doing Math, but when it comes to things like Coordinate Geometry and other tedious subjects I find it hard to work. I ended up answering most questions, but I never reached the last 6 questions. And some of the questions I did answer, I was very agitated about, because I couldn't recall anything about them, so I tried my best to get as close as I could.

Anyway, once that was done, I knew it was best to forget about it, or else my anxiety would get the best of me and I probably would have broken down right then, Moving on to Break 1/2 . Spent most of the time touching up my presentation, talked to Elsa a bit (:D). Then left for Photography. Teacher made me go first -_-. I did the presentation, but was trembling badly by the end. Which is another weird thing, I can do presentations/speeches/debates fairly well save for the occasional stutter. I managed to scrape a 86% (barely an A). And was fairly happy with myself. Only thing that sucked was that the trembling wouldn't stop.

I had English next. And we got our results from this story thing we had to write. I was feeling stupid at the time so I wrote this

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1DC39zuJFqZ0kJj2kI77tDSrRiFa01_fjPq_H5e6TX_g/edit?usp=sharing

And I also had done it the night before  I got a 75% on that, which was a disappointment, but to be expected. I procrastinate so much lmao.

Finished off with History Elective...which is usually interesting, but was a bludge and gave me time to think. And thinking is bad. By the end of the lesson my trembling had stopped (THANK GOD). And I left the school with my group of friends and we caught the train. This is where I really felt punched in the gut. My stop is the second station from the school, and we are all standing in the main compartment, chatting. And just before my stop comes, they see that there are a group of seats free and rush off to grab them, completely forgetting that I was about to get off. I, admittedly had been silent for most of the ride, but when they left I sort of gave this strangled "Ok, Bye".

Only person that heard was Dylan, who seemed to turn around with this look of realisation, and then he glanced at me apologetically and said "See ya".

I walked home depressed and then returned to the hell which is home.

That's great to hear  I've had horrible strange throat problems before, where it felt like a knife was being jabbed in my throat every time I swallowed, I do a similar thing and it usually alleviates the pain a bit.
