What's Bothering You?

Chronic illness and internalised ableism getting me down - so tired of everything being a trade off, if I shower then that's it for the next few days, same with going outside even with wheelchair or doing a day of drawing. I feel so frustrated with myself for achieving so little and like I'm a massive disappointment to my partner and family. 
that and tiedye are my guilty pleasures.

just read about how Trump basically outlawed flying the pride flag on flagpole along with the US flag, and despite many foreign ambassadors and embassies requesting permission to do so Trump has denied every single one of them.
I also read about how apparently he won't allow transgender people to enlist in the military because "they're on lots of drugs (hormones)." like that's not a valid excuse, that's just dumb.
I know the article that posted this is from 2019 so it's kinda old but I've just recently really started getting into politics. Trump claims that he wants to legalize gay marriage in foreign countries and yet he won't let the pride flag fly on a flag pole?? smh.

Whoa, what the hell. Aren't embassies supposed to be that country's ground of which it belongs to? Weird and dumb he can deny that.

yeah it's weird, like they said that one US embassy in Berlin wanted permission to do it and Trump denied them. like how/why is that even possible lol.
Ahh you mean reverse. But yeah I think it's considered US ground and follows those laws and directions rather Germany's. It's like Assange could stay on the Ecuador embassy forever cause it was not UK ground.
So yeah that's sadly why.

it's still upsetting that it's a law. I couldn't even find a clear explanation for why he made that decision. does he just think that the pride flag isn't respected or valued enough to be on the same pole as a US flag?
I've no idea about actual US laws, but since it's their grounds he can do what he wants. I was only trying to explain stuff but yeah Trump is an idiot, like why would anyone deny that.. smfh.

Recently just disabled my actual instagram because I kept having FOMO and constantly feeling lonely.
My breaking point is when I saw one of my friends having out with someone I used to be friends but broke off because they were kind of toxic imo.
It made me reflect that I hate how I always get constantly left out of things even though I'm usually the one to start things in hopes that nobody gets left out and stuff.
It just sucks that nobody has the same energy to do those same things back at me.
I feel like it's so hard making friends where I live because if you aren't some flamboyant extrovert or trying hard to be famous on TikTok, it's difficult to find people that appreciate you.
If only it was easy to fly to another place and start a new beginning.

It's only 3pm here and I'm already feeling real sleepy 
When it comes to Trump, no he doesn't value it. Since when has he done anything for LGBTQ+ people? ... he needs to go so I hope everyone who can get away and vote does it for Biden if anything.
This is probably just me not taking my antidepressant/mood stabilizer and not getting any sleep, but I feel really down right now. I can’t tell someone how I really feel about them because I just can’t. Sigh... why am I always like this? I put on a front when I don’t really need to. I want to act more like myself. Why does this always happen to me? It’s tearing me apart and I can’t take it anymore. I want to cry.
EDIT: Tears have been shed.

That’s Trump for you. It’s extremely sad and ridiculous, but not surprising. I knew he was petty, a bully and a crook before he was “elected.”. It’s just like how we cry about other countries governments rigging their election but some think it is okay for Trump to do it? O-kay.... I’ve stopped or tried to stop looking at politics (I still voted though) since it just makes me so mad that I get myself sick. My mental health has been bad so I need to take care of that before diving back in (political science was my minor and was very interested in world news).
I’m sorry your sad. If they’re a good person I’m sure they’d understand.
Thank you, Renee. I appreciate it. You’re probably right. It’s just difficult.

I’m sorry. I know this is easier said than done, but I don’t think you should blame yourself for being like that. I think it’s normal; you’re a human being and human beings do things like that. The fact it bothers you continues to tell me that you’re a good person. Even if it didn’t bother you, I still think the same. Please hang in there and try your best to feel better. I’m here if you want to chat about this or stuff that make you happy like your favorite anime or whatever.
Thank you so much. There’s just various reasons I can’t tell them, and all of it makes it pretty difficult. I really appreciate your words. I’m feeling a bit better now.

I’m glad you’re feeling better. No need to tell me more than you want to. I just wanted to tell you I’m concerned and how nice I think you are
