I've had kind of a rough day today.

I was placed in a stressful situation because of a stupid mistake on my part. Essentially I thought something had been taken care of and it turned out that it hadn't. I had a panic attack, which was, of course, not fun. Luckily I was able to take care of what needed doing, and no harm was done on that side.

But one of my friends had an important performance today, an accumulation of a year of hard and stressful work. I was looking forward to seeing that and supporting that friend. The friend had been going through some hard things that day anyway. But because of my stupid mistake, I missed that. And I feel like I've let a friend down, even though I've been assured that it's not that big a deal.

I could just use a little support.

*hugs*

That really sucks, I understand why you feel bad. More hugs. Remember it's not your fault x

*hugs* I'm sorry Bookwyrm. I'm sorry that you have to deal with that. Mistakes happen, but luckily for you other people also make mistakes. We understand.

Ive had my finals going on and ive got only 3 papers left but im suddenly feeling very overwhelmed and i think im burnt out too. Im also extremely worried i wont get into the junior college i want, because honestly ive always been a very average student, apart from English

Doesnt help that everything around me is feeling kind of suffocating. My sister yelled at me yesterday (even though she knows i cannot stand raised voices; they send me into a panic attack) and more so, it wasnt even due to anything I had done. It was simply because she was angry and i was within her range. and you know, i get it. it happens. but she hasnt't even apologised; doesnt think she's done anything wrong. my art tution teacher is acting very intrusive and keeps telling me about how im not living my life and that reading isnt everything and that i must have friends and go out with them, otherwise im just not living at all. Correct me if im wrong, but I don't think its any of her business. Besides, just because my life doesnt match her defination of what a life should be, doesnt make it any less of a life. 

and when i went to pick up something for my art exam, my school art teacher told me about how i apart from everybody else needs to practice, and he told me to make sure that i dont cheat on the exam day by bringing a piece from home 

i just dont think thats any way for a teacher to talk to a student

My younger brother was kind of disturbing me a lot today while i tried to study, so i asked my mom if maybe she could calm him down a bit and she got irritated too and said that i have headphones and i should use those, instead of complaining to her. 

it just...

i dont know 

but i do know ive been having more nightmares more bad days in terms of mental health recently

im just

confused and upset

People are ridiculous sometimes. It stinks. They don't have a right to tell you what makes you happy.

I'm so sorry! *hugs* that sounds super stressful. What everyone else is saying is completely true. You live your life in a way that makes you happy, and don't let anyone make you feel bad about it! Your art teacher sounds like a pretty terrible teacher, judging from this. Teachers should try to help you, not make you feel bad or stressed! 

I hope you get feeling better and the situation starts to improve. You can do this! You're going to do great on all of your tests! If you need to talk, you can always PM me. 

Good luck! *more hugs*

I'm so sorry! your life is just that. Yours. 

And your teacher is definitely in the wrong. he shouldn't tell you that you specifically need to practice, and definitely shouldn't single you out and warn you not to cheat.

*hugs*

I hope that you do well on your finals! Good luck!!!!!

I'm really sorry. That sounds awful, and I hope you can feel better. I'll pray for you(I know you might not be religious. But I am, and it's my way of helping? Does that make sense?). And what your teacher said? That is 100% HER mess-up. SHE should feel bad about saying those things. NOT you.

not really a bad day...

but it's been an interestingly kinda sorta rough three days.

got my wisdom teeth out tuesday, which means pain meds, which means no driving, which means can't do anything or see anyone because it's spring break so everyone is busy.

so i've been alone at home for three storming days.

i'm losing it.

thankfully, i see my beloved DoomslugLuna tmrw to just hang out :DDDD

but yeah

rough three days :3

My cat, Ivan, passed away today. It was extremely sudden.

I got home from school and he was yowling. He's old(16)... and I knew it was coming at some point.

Just... sometime later. Tomorrow. Not today.

Sorry, I got distracted, not making sense. He was old, and he didn't do much but poop in the wrong places and puke on the carpet. But... he was snuggly.

We got him to the vet, and they said he had either a stroke or a mass in his brain. He was disoriented, and he couldn't walk. So they said the kind thing to do was put him down. 

So... he's gone now. I'll be okay. It was just so sudden, and... 

I don't know. I'll be okay, but it's sad now.

This hits close to home because I have two cats and I know this will come eventually. But...I suppose it means that we can rescue two other kittens and give them a good life and home. Doesn't remove them or the pain of their passing, but you get to help another feel that same love.

I'm so sorry, Shallan. I can kind of relate to this as my 2 year old cat passed away early 2021 from a sudden sickness.

I know it's not that serious, but i'm literally obsessed with frogs, and the first frog item that i've owned is a little scraggly stuffed animal frog that i got from my old best friend right before i went to Boystown, which is basically a youth mental hospital. This happened in November of 2021. Anyway, it has a lot of sentimental value to me. I've recently moved back in with my grandparents, and I can't find it anywhere. i've looked practically everywhere for it and i can't seem to find it. So now I'm worried that my mom's boyfriend's stepdaughter has it, because she would come stay with us every weekend and she would always ask me if she could sleep with my frog. she also tends to take my stuff without asking first. im not necessarily blaming her, im just worried that it got stolen or that it maybe got lost in the process of moving things

[Robin Sedai she/her]

Shoot, I hope you get your frog back.

If it's important enough to talk about, its serious is my rule of thumb.

But anyway, good luck getting your frog back. Do you have a pet frog?

sadly, I do not, since i'm only staying at my grandparents' house temporarily (even though i dont want it to be like that) so i don't have any pets, unless you count the two cats that belong to my grandmother and brother. but they aren't frogs lol

back at my mom's, i had gotten a couple betta fish, and we were getting ready to get me a frog, and then some... things.. happened, so now I'm back with my grandparents again
