a very tired Bug 🪲💤
just found out that I was supposed to be doing extra curricular sketches for my art class this whole time and I didn't even know. apparently it's in the syllabus but even though I have read the syllabus somehow I missed that. so this weekend I have to go get my sketchbook at the art hall and spend an entire day just half-assing sketches for each week of class so that I don't fail the class.
I'm honest to god wondering if I should tell all my professors next semester about my mental disorders and how I need important instructions explicitly and verbally noted to be. I'm so tired if constantly doing bad in school because the system seems to be rigged against people with mental health disorders. it's bull****.

You absolutely should make them aware. Most colleges and universities are more than happy to provide extra support for those who need it, provided that they are informed about it. Your teachers cannot help you if you do not explicitly tell them!
i would definitely tell them! it might seem a bit scary but your professors won’t be able to help you if you don’t tell them what’s up. making them aware will help them understand how to teach you better and what accommodations might be needed.
you’re definitely not alone in feeling like this; i have my own fair share of mental disorders and school definitely doesn’t help matters but you’re trying your best and that’s something to be proud of.
whatever you decide to do, i hope things get better for you, soon c’:

the reason why I haven't told them up to this point is because I'm under the mindset that I shouldn't tell anyone about my disabilities unless/until they become an issue. I hate making excuses for myself and I don't like the idea of getting "special treatment." Plus this far into the semester I feel like it would be a bit embarrassing to tell professors my situation. but it really is becoming a problem now and I probably should talk to them.
Think of it less as receiving special treatment, and more as levelling the playing field. If there is something in your life that puts you at a disadvantage compared to other students then it's only fair you receive additional help to balance that out.

I hear you. I definitely think you need to tell them; not a lot of people recognize symptoms of mental disorders or understand them. I wish that I told some of them especially this one who made me cry at a paper draft meeting when he said how disappointed he was with what I had and wasn’t buying that I couldn’t concentrate or had a blank typing it. I didn’t argue because i was too upset and i realize those aren’t good excuses.
When I stayed at the dorms and was having concentration issues taking tests in the classrooms, I finally went and arranged to get help like someone was supposed to give me notes in class and I was able to take the test elsewhere. i never got the notes. I didn’t realize it until years later and that i should’ve said something.

I know what you mean. I feel the same exact way; I always feel like no one will believe me and will think i am just making an excuse anyways.

Last night i got three random text messages from some bot. They were different numbers but similar name. It seriously disgusted me and I am so fed up with these spam texts.
i’ve also been getting tons of election spam from both sides. They don’t have my name right, so they shouldn’t have my number. I know it is important to vote especially now, but I don’t appreciate spam calls (the trump ones pissed me more off). Also, I already voted. So leave me alone ><.

Make sure to check places you've visited or shopped from, sometime they sell your info straight out and makes bot send out that kinda of junk. Also make sure to block them.
Or make your number hidden if possible.

i haven’t bought from anyone except amazon and a couple months ago gamestop (used a gift card there) though not with my account (my mom lets us use hers) since I don’t have amazon prime anymore. Since we order from them a lot, even if we don’t, i don’t think there’s anything i can do about these calls.
I block any numbers i don’t recognize yet i still get them. I think it has gotten worse within the last couple of years.
Ah okay, just checking cause leaving phone or card numbers anywhere without removing info is a sure way to get them. But yeah maybe check what stuff you've visited, but yeah otherwise it's probably random.
Yeah they'll keep trying so keep doing that
I recently had this issue except with scammers so I had to change my phone number after trying to block people didn't work. I would wake up with 8 missed calls from random numbers and there was nothing I could do anymore. It sucked cause I had that number since grade 8. I'm sorry this is happening to you. Hopefully you find a solution and you don't have to change your number like I did.

Does your school have a disability services/outreach type of thing? Mine did and they were very good about advocating for students with disabilities. If you're uncomfortable approaching your professors by yourself I would look into that.
Also don't feel bad about asking for help, it's not "special treatment"-- it's just asking for accommodations to better suit you and your situation.

Good luck!
I know it's scary but I'm rooting for you. And good luck on your paper too, hopefully you can get everything you need to do it.
I got a random friend request on discord and I had to accept them just so I could ask who they are. Can I delete them if I don’t like the answer? Also today hasn’t been the best of days. Things keep happening and I haven’t even had time to do any of my homework.
