What's Bothering You?

Consistency is so hard for me, yet a lot of people make it look so easy. Maybe I'm just cursed to keep falling in the same hole I keep trying to climb out of.
 
I’m worried about something. I’m okay, just nervous and a little lonely. I hope I didn’t mess up too. I asked my mom to take me out tomorrow just to get out of the house; I’m a bit nervous about that too.

Clearing out a kitchen cupboard and found a dead eight legged freak in a very old cup. Thankfully, the cup was going in the bin anyway. My heart is still racing. Now I'm terrified incase anymore are in there. At least when they are on the wall I can hoover them up. 😥
Edit: I found 2 in total, absolutely petrified but I did it! 😀

Apologies if this sounds whiney btw.

Wish I was able to make friends easier cause I don't have any close friends at all. The only close friend I have is my brother but since he's in college and in a completely different city we don't do stuff together frequently besides just call each other on the phone.
 
i’m starting to dislike going to college. i just don’t feel like i’m good enough.

I don’t think you guys are whiny. And if you are, it’s okay to be whiny on this thread since it’s a venting thread. As long as you’re not being toxic, you are free to vent regardless of tone.

Anyways, I feel bad for both of you. College is stressful, and not having any nearby close friends is devastating.
 
I feel so broken and stupid for having autism, and I feel like I'm some kind of burden to those who are around me. Sometimes, I wonder what my life would be like if I was "normal" like everyone else.
 

I also have autism and have lived with it my entire life. You're not broken and stupid for having it, that I can assure you. Nor are you ever a burden to those around you. I wonder the same thing sometimes, but the reality is that that will never be possible because that's not who we are. Maybe in some alternate universe if I didn't have it, I'd end up having less problems. Or maybe I would end up having more because without it I'd actually be a rude and insensitive person? These are thoughts that have kept me up at night a lot in the past.

I've been getting the feeling for awhile now that hate and intolerance doesn't come from any one group of people... it can come from anyone, even people who have are on the spectrums themselves. That's why I've always thought it's important that no matter how bad you may be feeling, to still keep pushing forward, because even though we may have things that limit us, we're the only ones who decide how much those things limit us.

Anyway, I hope you feel better soon. The world is a dark, cruel place, but it doesn't have to be if we don't give up. Sending you much love. 💚
 
I wish I was closer with my stepmom, but certain factors (like a language barrier) hasn't helped in terms of bonding. She's been in my life for over a decade and has done so much for us, but I don't want her to think it's gone underappreciated.

I try to show that I care, but I still feel like it's not enough. It's obvious that I'm a lot closer with my dad, but I love both my parents. I don't have much family that I'm actually close with besides them and my brothers, but still.

My dad told me one time that my stepmom would've liked it if my brothers and I called her "maman", but refrained from saying anything in fear of making my biological mom jealous. (Which isn't a problem now, to put it lightly...) I don't know.

I hope one day I can talk to my stepmom face-to-face about this, but I'm not ready for that yet.

Unrelated (but it's still bothering me), I'm having a hard time getting myself out of bed and doing things. I've been taking antidepressants for almost two weeks, and I know that the effects take a while to kick in, but I feel like I'm back at the beginning.
 
I really wish this hurricane would've passed while the sun was still out. Rain is relaxing at night, but coupled with wind so loud I can hear it inside my house.......ugh
Same here , hope you are safe. The rain seems to be not as bad here at the moment but the wind is still pretty bad and we’re still in a tornado/flood watch.
We have been without power for a few hours and I don’t see it coming back anytime soon.
