What's Bothering You?

[TotodileStars]

While I do really like PMD: Explorers of Sky, I'd be lying if I said it didn't frustrate me sometimes.

Yesterday I died to an Exeggutor, because it used sleep powder on me, my teammates weren't close enough to get to it, and I just didn't wake up for some reason - so it kept hurling attacks at me, while I had no way of fighting back, until I fainted. Since I knew what was going to happen once I reached the end of that particular dungeon, it really made me feel bitter, even when I played again tonight.

This is small compared to other people's problems but I bought the for rent pack on the sims 4 awhile ago when it was on sale and it's completely glitched and not working. The packs been out for over a year so idk why they haven't fixed it. Also I hired a ranch hand for my sims and he's a creep lmao. I know it's not real but he keeps hitting on my lady sims and making them uncomfortable so I went into the manage households and deleted him entirely from the game. Bye bye ya nasty

my pollen allergies went from 0 yesterday to 100 today oh my god. I have no beef with the trees but they are kicking my ass y'all

I really don't know how to feel right now. There's this guy from school who's been trying to reach out to me for a while, and today I caved in and responded. I guess I used to sit in the classroom where he was during lunch break last year, and he took an interest in me but I kind of withdrew from him because I'm very shy.

He wants to be my friend, but, like... I have no idea how to approach this. Heck, I don't know if he likes Dog Man or Pokémon or anything else I enjoy. I kinda feel uncomfortable for some reason? Maybe because he thought I was "cute"? I don't know. This feels weird. I've already gotten used to having online friends exclusively so this was unprecedented.

Gone.

It’s April 15th, and I still haven’t done my taxes. I still don’t have my W-2 from my old job, and I didn’t request an extension. How tf difficult is it to get a tax form?!

Absolutely losing my mind today. This would not be happening if I was living in a different house. I'm so scared and uncomfortable. My lack of sleep isn't helping. I'm just over here desperately hoping the air quality goes back to green by tomorrow because apparently I can't handle this at all. Again, this wouldn't have happened if this house wasn't falling apart and letting the air in. This is why the heater barely works in winter...

Not to mention I am also having trouble finding things to eat and drink (especially to drink because we don't have a working water filter for some stupid reason).

I also have a suspicion that my reaction got this bad because I was already dealing with trying to recover from my parents' fire obsession 2 nights ago.
(They go outside and have a fire when it's cold.)

Spoiler

The air quality suddenly got worse even though it was being predicted to be better tomorrow. I am scared?? I haven't been okay all day and I don't know what I am going to do. My parents (mostly mom) don't comprehend this house isn't keeping that out. It's old and falling apart.
I am the one person in this house that's sensitive and they just don't comprehend it because it's an invisible problem to them.
I really hope it goes away tomorrow like they were saying because otherwise I don't have any idea what is going to happen to me. This is not something I have ever dealt with before. I'm so uncomfortable I don't think I could even sleep in the living room.

 

[ZeldaCrossing64]

I woke up feeling very lightheaded and dizzy, and I have no idea why. Again, can't see my doctor about it until May. The back of my neck is also sore, though that's probably from the headbanging I did yesterday (lol) and sleeping wrong. I feel fine mentally, I just feel like I can't do anything without hurting my head/neck even further. :\

Also, my dog pissed right on the ****ing vacuum, which was so fun to clean up. Oh well.

 

[Seastar]

Spoiler

I should be relieved that the air quality is normal again, but I am just anxious. It's going to be cold tonight (and tomorrow) which would give my parents an excuse to have another fire. I haven't even recovered from yesterday and who knows what would happen to my health if I am not allowed to recover. I'm even more anxious just from the fact I need to tell them not to do that later.

I discovered a wound on Sebastian's jaw. It doesn't require a vet visit, but last time he had a minor wound he irritated it to the point it needed intervention.

We still had leftovers of the anti-inflammatory cream he was prescribed last time, so my partner held him while I applied it. Hopefully it keeps him from scratching.

He has some matted fur as a result of the wound, so I think it is time to invest in a cat-safe razor and claw clippers tomorrow.

Spoiler: Sebastian

Edit: Still really stressed but I got the okay to stay home. As much as I didn’t want to go even if I was feeling better, I still feel really bad. I’m glad my sister and family were really understanding. I expected both my dad and sister to be upset, even though my dad when he is there will not want to be there either (he has bad anxiety and doesn’t treat it).

No dms or replies please.

Spoiler: Topic randomly gets heavy

I know I can't take care of myself well but I really would like to not have to live with my parents anymore, especially mom. I can't take it anymore after her obliviousness to me physically suffering. She's always oblivious. I don't think she actually cares about me if she's going to pretend my problems don't matter because they make no sense to her. I bet if I was dying the symptoms leading up to that wouldn't be obvious enough to her either. I'm probably not safe around someone as clueless as her.

Did you know untreated tooth infections can sometimes be fatal? I haven't dared brought this up because knowing her, she'll pretend that's not a real a danger I have been in for the past 5 years. (That's how long I haven't had health insurance to see the dentist)

Anyway, the current issue is she still didn't understand what happened to me yesterday and my chest sure is hurting right now.

Spoiler: update (good news)

So it turns out I have good reason to feel uncomfortable. This guy somehow managed to find my name through my binder a while ago, and then he discovered my school email and started messaging me repeatedly there. I don't even know a lot about him, and I learned he transferred to another school recently. Whenever I blocked him, he would just get around it on another account.

I've talked to the staff about this and made sure to block as much of his accounts as I could find. Since the staff already spoke to his family, I can guarantee he probably wouldn't reach out again.

This kind of reminds of the other guy from Discord that I blocked a few months ago who kept asking for hugs, lol.

 

[VernalLapin]

I feel like… idk i just don’t like myself a whole lot today

 

[AccfSally]

I don't like feeling left out and I really hate how there's idiots online that are making it far worse than what it is now.

 

[Devicho]

I always feel like a broken record when I bring it up elsewhere, but man do I miss the way the internet used to be, honestly. I'm glad forums like this still manage to exist, but I miss when active forums weren't such a rarity. Social media is an utter cesspit on top of being boring, thanks to the internet going from feeling like a vast ecosystem, to one where a tiny handful of websites dominate. Not only does it make every large website feel really samey thanks to immense user overlap, but as someone who has always been more of an outsider who is drawn to niche and often unpopular things, it makes it really hard to find "my people". I had a lot more fun online when I could lurk around until I found a forum that felt right; on social media I instead find myself keeping my head down as often as possible, which doesn't even prevent me from receiving drive-by harassment because some random person didn't like something I drew or whatever else. It's tiring.

I love my dad to death, but I CANNOT STAND coming home to the A/C being off. If you're cold, please put on a blanket! We live in FLORIDA. If the air is off, the house WILL and DOES get over 80F. My room also has bad ventilation so when it's hot it's HOT. If my spiders die from being too hot imma be a little pissed.

deleted, was questioning something for a moment but I feel better now.
