What's Bothering You?

I hate this feeling, like I'm lonely but I'm not feeling talkative at all. I think it's just one of those feelings I have to live with sometimes, and it sucks but life kinda sucks anyway.
I feel the same way except it's almost 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. It's no surprise. My IRL social skills are nonexistent and I don't have any friends from school because of that.
 
I think my mental health is at its lowest in my entire 17 years of living. It's gotten much worse since the 9th grade, and I was really struggling mentally that year. I might take a hiatus from TBT, but I'm still thinking about it. There's just too much going on in my life and this year has been terrible for me for many reasons. (Some I've mentioned here, some I have not because it's too bleak and personal.) I'm sorry for posting so soon, but I just wish everything would get better.
 
I can relate to an extent. My brother can be a cool and awesome dude, but there are times where he is EXTREMELY ignorant and insensitive towards me (e.g. about my sensory issues, about my discomfort around dogs, etc.). I certainly do not want to cut contact with him, but I am looking forward to the day we are both living on our own. Despite being younger than me, he probably will get his own place before me, which will have both pros and cons. I am mainly looking forward to me getting my own place so I can set my own rules, boundaries, etc.

I hope things get better between you and your brother. I don't know all the causes for why he is acting this way, but from my experience sometimes conflicting opinions, misunderstood struggles, and having to live under the same roof can unfortunately cause issues.
 
I got something slightly wrong, next thing I know i'm getting tons of notifications (and even some insults thrown at me).

it only takes one person to give me a correction. not an entire angry mob. and most of them are just repeating what the first guy said. I forgot how cruel people online can actually get. this is why I don't often leave comments on social media ,-,

(I simply misunderstood the details of a sports suspension).
 
Sorry for posting again so soon. Just really depressed now. I think the little sleep I got today probably is a big part of it. I need to stop deleting stuff even if something upset me. I was so embarrassed and hurt earlier, that is the first thing I did since I was afraid to get more ❓ reactions.
 
My brain is just kinda seizing with how much I have in there. I think my birthday meant more to other people than myself but thank you all for the wishes. Feel bad my bad mood has kept me from saying it directly. I’m just so drained. I feel bad at talking with people now. Love you guys. Iwhs I was more.
 
I feel like I'm just so tired in general right now. maybe I'll take a day to myself.

edit: I went back to sleep for about three hours and it's almost noon now, but I feel better so I don't mind. sometimes you have to take care of yourself and not worry about what others think. 🥺

I don't have school tomorrow, which is good. However, I think I need a moment to myself. Maybe a short break from the forums? IDK. Stuff happens and it kinda makes me feel gloomy, in a way. :\

edit: I'm feeling better now, but I'll still be on break... semi-break, if you will.

I have so much work to do for Geometry that’s due tomorrow but I don’t want to do any of it. Well, I want to, but for some reason, when I get home, I can’t focus on any work without getting distracted. My attention span is just really low when it comes to that.

Also, I feel fatigued. It’s a little better now, but an hour ago I could barely write without my hand shaking or stand up normally. I’m rarely ever that tired.
 
I have two weeks of high school left (my final year), and two-and-a-half months of being at home before I go to college. It's so close, and yet I want out right now. I can't stand it here. I can't stand my family, as much as I love them. I can't stand my peers (and, admittedly, some of my teachers), I'm just so done with their ****ty and annoying attitudes.

I'm in the middle of class, but I'm on the verge of a mental breakdown. Nothing is going right today, and it's only 2nd period. I can't give up now, but I'm feeling a lot of distress just from being here. I'm not in immediate danger, but I don't want to be around the people who are in my home and school life. I hope things will look up in my life once I move out. I really don't know how to explain this, and I feel like I'm just mindlessly complaining, honestly.

I am definitely thinking of going on hiatus. I shouldn't be gone for very long, just until I get some affairs in order and I get some breathing room once I'm out of school.

Is it bad that I want to withdraw a class with W? I'm close to dropping it because I don't know if I can do better, I feel that I'm going downhill there.

It doesnt help that the teacher's method is confusing, i feel like i should've dropped out sooner.

there's this artist that's been giving me the runaround, and i'm getting really frustrated. they've said the art is done and that they're sending it but just won't? for some reason? they won't send it through our messages because apparently the quality worsens, i gave them my email, and they responded with some excuse that doesn't even make sense, i suggested a site we've spoken on previously, but no message there either. they're still active and posting ychs but haven't answered my last two messages asking them to just send it, i don't care if the quality tanks. can't get a refund because i paid with a "donation" site. starting to get really annoyed. i don't want to threaten to report them unless they send it in the next few days, but this is getting ridiculous and idk how else to make them take it seriously. if the art isn't actually done, then i wish they'd just say that :/
 
I regularly get my bloods checked as I'm on 2 medications that can have complicated side effects. My white blood count and neutrophils are usually low so I have to avoid people with infections and if I feel unwell I have to contact my GP. However, I got my bloods done last week and they are even worse, on the danger level now. Had to get them rechecked yesterday, got results this morning. My white blood count is up by 0.1, however my Neutrophils are down by 0.2. As a result, I haven't been able to take my 2 main pain medications since last Tuesday. Now, I have to wait to see when I have to get bloods rechecked. I had to cancel my physio appointment last week for infection risk. I have asked for steroids as I am having a flare up in my joints that are usually fine. I have been even more tired than usual for the past month, which I didn't think was possible. It really is draining me. Everything is taking me 3 times longer than normal because of pain, swelling and stiffness, and I'm usually slow because of my arthritis.

Another thing that is bothering me when I phone the Rhuematology Department, the Nurse I felt uncomfortable to speak seems to be dealing with phone messages. So, I'm not convinced she is going to ask my usual nurse for a prescription of steroids.
 
I feel so silly bc instead of being sad about the assault that happened today, Im mostly sad it made me lose my duolingo streak and made me miss most tbtwc events since monday ): the person who caused all this spent years limiting my ability to partake in my hobbies too but doesn’t often succeed anymore so this instance hurts a lil extra
