What's Bothering You?

Holidays floods!

Each year, at the end of December/beginning of January, Canadian weather decides to go from -20°C to 10°C in a day. The snow and ice melt but because the soil is frozen water has nowhere to go causing important floods.

I spent all the night carrying buckets of water in PJ, feet in iced water because the water went over my boots (I felt like Jack and Rose in Titanic) trying anything to prevent the water entering my home. I was losing it, I wanted to ask for help (I was all alone ) but the water was rising too fast. so it was just me and my bucket until my brother woke up.

Winter activities are pretty much cancelled until it snows again....

Feel like I've just lost all hope......

thinking I might back out of this event. I'm honestly not in the holiday spirit this year at all, just too many fundamental things wrong in my life to celebrate something like that right now. I'll still do the raffle and I hope I can get my Secret Santa drawing done soon, but yeah, this event just isn't doing it for me at all.

still, thank you to everyone who wished me a happy holiday. it's so difficult, but I very much appreciate the gesture

You and me both. I am not into the holiday spirit either.

It’s been over a week and my friend still hadn’t messages me to continue where we left off :/. I know he’s busy working but the wait is making me feel worse since the last time we talked ended badly since he made me upset about something. tomorrow i have to go grocery shopping and to the pet store to pick up presents for my kitties, but i’m just not feeling it :/.

I’m a bit bummed that my mood has been really bad again and that I haven’t been posting much for the last few days. I guess I need to take it a little slower. hopefully things will resolve soon with my friend.

I'm spending Christmas away from my family for the first time ever... i am living with my boyfriend in another country and i love him and we are doing our best to make the best of it but...

It doesn't help that i don't feel at home where I am right now, we are supposed to stay for a year and are allmost halfway done. But the idea of having to do another 6 months of this is really making me sad and anxious, and its stressing me out
it has been my bfs dream to do this and live and work here, and even though he says he understands and doesn't blame me or anything, i feel like I'm dissapointing him.

I also feel like I'm dissapointing myself by letting it get to me so much, i just never expected to be so homesick i guess. I always wanted to travel the world and I even studied abroad 5 years, did a lot of internships in different continents. But I'm starting to think I've outgrown the travelbug, and being around my family (and family pets) is more important to me now than when I was younger.

I just want to feel happy again

"my" cat keeps urinating on the floor around the litter tray instead of in it, and my mom keeps snapping at me as if i'm making her do it on purpose, but i can't stop her unless i watch her 24/7. i think it's stress because she's also balding around her belly, but i don't know what she's stressed about. (being picked up maybe? so we stopped doing it, but i think it's too early to have an impact.) we've tried putting citrus smelling stuff nearby to try deterring her, but it hasn't worked. i've suggested getting a new tray or trying different litter, but my mom's not having it so there's not much i can do there. she clearly seems to know where to go since she's going around the tray and nowhere else but idk why she won't go in it.

i get angry every time i think about it.

Why does getting referred to as “she/her” upset me now more than it did it a few months ago?

i'm really stressed out that i'm going to test positive for COVID (someone that i met up with yesterday tested positive earlier today). i've not tested positive before and i'm imagining the worst case scenario and i'm crying and freaking out ;_;

update - i'm listening to mars buggy on headspace, feeling a lot calmer !

I understand the feeling. I always tend to imagine the worst case scenario of things and stress myself out over it. It usually doesn't end up like it though and just exists in my head.

If it makes you feel any better, both my mother and grandmother are high risk and they've made it out okay. I hope things turn out okay for you!

So, the first semester of my senior year has ended, and now prepping for college is in full swing. I've been applying for scholarships (local, state, and national), and all of this is SUPER overwhelming. I live in a household where both of my parents are disabled, so we need all the help we can get. We're trying to avoid student loans because I know how much of a nightmare they are. As for applying for scholarships, it doesn't help that my mom is on my back 24/7 about it. I know she wants me to get all that I can get, but some of the stuff she wants me to do is either not available right now (FAFSA), or it's a scam to sell your information (various "scholarship" websites). Again, I know she is trying to help, but I don't want her yelling at me about it every other day, as it makes me even more overwhelmed. Plus, she always makes passive-aggressive remarks like "Well, I bet you're not even doing anything," which makes me feel even worse. I've tried talking to her about it, but it's always the response of "Just get thicker skin."

All I can say is I'm ready to graduate and go to college. I've been accepted to my first choice school, which is far away, so maybe I can get a break then lol.

There's a good chance I could be homeless tomorrow if the landlord decides to "evict." I just want to get through tomorrow until that lease is up and then we can officially move.

This has just been the worst 3 weeks of my life. This Technichan has failed to fix my Washing Machine. Since Demcember 2nd it hasn't been working and my laundry has been piling up with dirty clothes. First the Technichan failed to show up on December 13th basically I've been ghosted. Then 5 days later on December 18th the Technichan came 30 minutes late since it was 5:30 PM when they showed up. Then to my shock they make this excuse saying "I forgot my tools so we'll have to reschedule" What kind of Technichan leaves their tools behind and not do the job? This is the worst Technichan I've ever had. Now I have to wait ANOTHER TWO DAYS for this Technichan to fix my Washing Machine. I really yelled out in frustration because of how bad these past weeks have been. Just utter hell.

Is there another technician you can contact?

No I already paid them $85.00 which is an Annual fee and because I am with Choice Home Warrantly this is the one that they gave which is from Sears. My Washing Machine is a Kenmore brand.

This month has gone by too fast, we'll be 5 days from Christmas in a few hours and I'm not feeling festive at all this year. Usually I'm into it.

One of my relatives is a miserable person and is like a mood vampire. Feeling kind of bummed out.

Also have been dealing with some health stuff for a while and that's had me stressed lately.

Bleh.
