What's Bothering You?

[Reginald Fairfield]

There is a drip coming from my bedroom ceiling and I don't know where it's coming from. My upstairs neighbor says it's not them and both the landlord and building owner won't answer their phones so there's literally nothing I can do. I hope it's something they can fix without coming into my apartment bc I'm immunocompromised and TERRIFIED of covid but that's not usually how life goes for me.

Maybe if you lay down some paper towels you can see where to put a bucket.

I have a bucket underneath but I'm worried about mold, sewage, etc in the ceiling.

I dunno. Just sad I guess I’m okay and I should probably just go write in my journal but it’s not in my room right now.

I’m just sort of bummed sometimes about being gay. I know, I know, supposed to love yourself and ****. But sometimes it sucks. I know my dads homophobic. I know I’ll lose him when I come out. And it sucks because my mum was just ... not a mum so when I lose my dad I just I won’t have any family. And it sucks. It always pops up more around the holidays because I love him and I love Christmas and it sucks knowing one of these Christmas’ is gonna be the last.

“Maybe it’ll be different when you come out!” It won’t be. I don’t want to get into it but I know that it won’t be.

There’s also that part of me that’s upset about being gay because it’s just so tiring. I mean I look straight so it’s not like people homophobic towards me out of the blue but it’s just like. “So, when are you getting a boyfriend?” “Any boys in your life yet?” “Oh you’ll understand when you have a husband.” Just having being straight be the default assumption is so tiring.

Not truly knowing how people will treat you if they knew you were gay is tiring too. I worked a job once where my coworkers were generally lovely but they would let homophobic comments and slurs slip out. We’re a small town, it’s common. Every time it happened though it would just make me freeze and be like “ah. Right. Forgot for a moment that’s how you feel.”

My previous job I worked at a Christian preschool that catered to rich folks. I know there would’ve been a stir if people knew a lesbian was teaching their kids because that’s just how some people are.

It sucks. Sometimes it just really sucks. And so many people think LGBT+ rights have come so far in Canada that we don’t need to worry or have a conversation about things anymore. But that’s not the case. Especially not in small towns.

When I was still in school and coming to terms with my sexuality it was terrifying. I never went to sleep overs or hugged my friends out of fear that like... they’d notice something was off about me. It’s been isolating and that’s on me but I would intentionally distance myself from people because I was afraid they’d realize I wasn’t the same as them.

I’m just tired. Nothing to be done about it I just needed to write it out.

Gross. ****ing gross. I hope you get a hold of your landlord or someone soon so they can fix the issue. I'm a germaphobe myself, so I can understand how you're feeling. Though I hope you'll stay safe love ❤

No one should have to go through that. I am sincerely sorry. I know one person specifically in my life who's been bashed for her sexuality (she's a lesbian), and I think it's heartbreaking. Just know that at least you are welcome here on the forums - I'm sure the Mods (and other members as well) will go into ass-kicking mode if someone were to target you on here due to your sexuality. <3 Stay strong.

I think I might have made someone uncomfortable by telling them I was pansexual. I’m not sure why they’d be bothered by it, but oh well.

I think I made someone uncomfortable by telling them I was pansexual. Oops.

A coworker that could pass for a meth head keeps making me uncomfortable. Keeps touching me.

I lost my kitten at the begging of year to a dog attack and now my parents kitty is unwell and is having to stay over night at a pet 24hr hospital I honestly can not take 2020 anymore I am broken.

That is honestly so frickin heart breaking, I'm sorry. Y.Y I hope the kitty gets well. It sucks that these things happen, we can only hope to give our loved pets all the care they deserve in their life.

What's bothering me is I'm having anxiety attacks over nothing I can control right now and I just want to sleep.

Just a minor annoyance, but my throat is super duper dry due to the heater running so much lately and allergies, and I hate that "sore throat but not a sore throat" feeling and it's so foggy I can't see across the street as of really early today around 5pm or so, wow.

I get you, I hate that feeling too and for me it always feels like my throat is closing in and I struggle to talk. Water never seems to help either for some reason.

I'm still waiting on a delivery and while I understand postal services are very busy, especially at this time of year, I did expect it to arrive sooner considering I paid towards shipping. It will be over a month soon since I ordered my package and it would be a real if it doesn't arrive before Christmas.

Also, I'm losing the motivation to do work, with now being in lockdown again in England and Christmas fast approaching, I've seemed to have gone into shut down mode. Anyone else feel me?

I still don't get it why people would disagreed with people when they say Twitter should be banned. Like come on Twitter ruined a lot of people's lives. Like why would you rather it to not be banned because you can "engage" and their is "useful" stuff on there. These people make me laugh.

l just don't get it why some people don't see the toxicity of Twitter, guessing because they were never attacked.

l have the same problem every day and every morning. Mostly because l'm breathing in mold every night. Too bad we don't have enough money to replace that.

Yeah, some people really need to get banned from there. Also people who approve of cancel culture there too.

Oh my god it's snowing and I still gotta work a few days this week. It's not even nice fluffy snow you build snowmen in, it's the wet crap that makes the roads like ice rinks. I sound like an old man complaining about the snow but darn that cold ass snow.
