Well done. If that's what works for you, that's what works, so there's no need to feel like it's not a solution. I hope it helps!

I was saying that because at the start it felt like a failure. Two failures, actually: first a failure to moderate my gaming myself in the first place, and then a failure to break from gaming.

But you and Raven are right. It works. I am finally putting myself back together. And at last, I can see a world where I don't stress myself to death over homework while not doing it. That is huge, and that is the most important thing.

I have felt very very little emotion all day.

But I know my emotions well enough that I can fake it. Its scary.

And the thing is when people realize that I'm faking it they have nothing to say. No one has anything to help. 

So I don't know what to do.

I'm just existing.

I've felt that way before, I know it can be really disheartening. But I promise you'll feel again, and I promise it won't last forever. Remember to be kind to yourself, don't force yourself to feel things that you don't.

Sometimes slowing down can help, focusing more on the moment and less on the bigger picture. If you can find a moment to get away from people and take a breather that can help, it usually helps me. 

I feel like I'm not the best person to give advice, seeing as I have this problem myself. Just know that we're here for you and that we care about you.

"Just keep smiling, just pretend that everything's okay, smile away, don't let them see the pain."

I'm okay.

But my home is a rather lonely place.

And I want to be loved.

And I know I'm being petty. I know that it'll get better. But right now, I'd just like to be held.

I know how you feel. It's okay to be sad, it really is. Even if things will get better. Even if it is petty... feeling those emotions are what will help you heal. Just don't become like me. 

We're all here for you, we love you to death, and my PMs are always open if you need hugs, memes, or to talk. I can give you my email address too, since that's more reliable. 

*hugs and cookies and cocoa and kittens and marshmallows and fluffy fuzzy feelings*

I'll echo Haly's words for she is far wiser in this than I. We are here for you and we all love you.

I'd hold you if I could sis

Wanting to be loved is not petty, it's human.

And we'll always be here for you. My PMs are always open for you.

I have to go back to school tomorrow. I have to wake up for seminary. I have to give six hours of my life every day to people I don't care about to learn things I don't care about.

I have history homework I didn't know about until an hour ago, and I've decided to ignore it and text my friend to bail me out. But now I'm all stressed and I can't remember literally anything I read in the Book of Mormon this month. 

And I kind of really need some hugs about now.

Someone in my life has been very frustrating, and it feels targeted.
