Ugh, sounds like it could be food poisoning...get better soon!

I thought the same and it could only have come from my delicious burgers or pork I grilled and i either undercooked(never have before) or something was already in meat that no amount of heat would kill. I was the only one who was affected thankfully but that whole exp was unpleasant...

I got food poisoning a few times in Nicaragua...like you, from delicious food! The good news is that, for "healthy" folk like us, it tends not to last for longer than a day.

But while you have it, hoo-boy!

So...my boyfriend and I just talked...we might be breaking up. It's late here, so he just wants to sleep on it and then we'll talk tomorrow...but I'm pretty sure he's just saying that yo make me feel better before he breaks up with me. 

I didn't even realize anything was wrong with our relationship (how other people saw it, sure, some people didn't like it). This is really a complete surprise to me. Of course, this could just turn out to be a little bump on the road of our relationship, but I'm not sure.

The bullying is awful. I hate the people in my school.  My dance class was being awful and I couldn't enjoy dance. I don't really want to eat and I'm just telling everyone at school I'm fine. I'm far from fine.

 

edit: just had English. Even more bullying. Almost fainted from stress.

 I know the feels. I literally just had a panic attack.

No they didn't. I have and it's 'in the works' I deleted the text screenshots and now no one will believe me. 

 

The school won't let me hang with my friends because I'm in 12th grade and they're in 7th.  But OTHER people are doing that, but when I do it, they go mad. I'm on the verge of dropping out and om the verge of not wanting to live anymore.

That sucks  We're here for you. Suicide is not a fun idea.

Here is a nice gif for all of you who feel sad today. It's not much, but hopefully it'll make your day a bit better.

Does your school have a welfare officer or similar? It's sounding like it might be about time to escalate who you're talking to about the problem.

(Bullying really sucks.)

Good. Escalate this and don't settle for some pat answer. Get these cremholes in trouble. 

Also, why are YOU being singled out when it comes to hanging out with people younger than you? Did they give you an answer?

I was harassed by a customer over the phone. And I just emailed a report of what happened to my manager. And I'm shaking because stupid societal conditioning makes me feel like it's my fault and also this guy made me feel very unsafe. Even though I don't know what he looks like and will never actually meet him. I need hugs.

A patron was similarly creepy toward me a few weeks ago, and I was just completely indifferent toward him. He tried to creepy-flirt, I recited our policy on what he was asking for. Then I hid in the back when I saw him returning to the desk, and he didn't act creepy again. That doesn't always work--some men are more persistent than that--but sometimes it does.

I spoke to my manager and marked him in the system so I never have to talk to him again. I'm still convincing myself that I'm safe and he can't find me. two more calls till I can go home and hide under the covers O_o. 

This wasn't creepy flirting. I'm teaching English. He says 

"what's it called if I want to have sex with you and you say no and I force you to make love to me"

"rape"

"what"

".....rape"

 

followed by "what's it called if I say [forcefully] 'you are a bad girl!' and I repeat it until you believe it"

You'll be fine.  All he knows about you is that you are female and you answer phones. That's it. If he does escalate this, which probably isn't likely, you'll have a record stating that he's a creep and the police should protect you from him. 

Edit: Just saw the edit.  Yeah, the law will definitely be on your side on this one.

Are your calls recorded? 

I'm so sorry you had to go through a conversion like that *hugs*

Perhaps get lawful aid yes...someone like that should definitely not be on the streets monitored.

I mean in this case it's a much more reasonable self defence instinct than your usual brain weasels. Te bastards gone and triggered my anxiety and like hell he gets that power over me. Not sure if I'm more scared or angry right now.

He knows my first name because of feedback emails. But no way in hell anyone at work will divulge names of employees, if he was even specifically targeting me, which I doubt.

I find myself saying this more and more, at least crying is therapeutic.

And......I told my parents for the emotional support and now I'm explaining to my father that no that wasn't just an English question. Rnwkdkakwgebwjeiwkbwjwjq. I love him. He can be a little clueless.

I hope the next time that creeper tries this, the woman on the phone can answer his questions with "I'm not sure, but I can teach you the words for 'I'm an undercover cop and you're going to prison.'"
