What's Bothering You?

today was a bad day. my mother is sick. she’s losing so much blood and can’t keep any food or liquids down and has lost over 100 pounds since this all started. the loss of blood and lack of nutrition is terrifying. i don’t want this to be about me but i am so afraid. i’m so angry. not because she’s sick but because she has been fighting ya tooth and nail all because we want her to see a doctor. we’re in the middle of a pandemic but her nurse literally advised her to go to the hospital. we finally got her admitted two months ago and what does she do? leaves against medical advice. the last year and a half of my life has been her sobbing and moaning in pain, throwing up and saying that she’s going to unalive herself. and maybe this makes me selfish but i have become physically sick because of this. constant panic attacks. inability to do anything except think about this. a pill addiction because i can no longer bare to be awake; to witness this. this is my entire life now and no matter what i do, reality always creeps back in.

i’m so tired of her excuses. she’s been putting off going to see a doctor for so long. early december, her excuse was that she couldn’t go because my grandmother needed someone to drive her to her own doctors appointment. she cancelled the appointment and still, my mother did not go. then, she wanted to wait for her bloodwork results to come in, even though she was still showing symptoms regardless and was incredibly sick. didn’t go. then, her excuse was bad weather. then christmas. finally got her to go on new year’s eve and she comes home after an hour. she didn’t see anyone. she was supposed to go today but apparently my father needing to go to the bank interfered with that. she apparently will be going tomorrow and at this point, i do not believe her.

i have been good. i have been kind and sympathetic. i have defended her. but tonight, she told me that she was going to unalive herself, claiming that she just wanted me to know where her mindset’s at. doesn’t she realize that i already know? we all know. she says that she can’t keep up the facade anymore but there was never one to begin with. i told her that she was upsetting me and said not to put that on her. but it is on her. it was on her when she laid in bed for years because of her depression, leaving me without any parental figure. it was on her when she attempted to homeschool me for her own selfish needs and giving up after the first day. it was on her when she told me that the reason she was so upset that her car died is because if she were going to unalive herself, her method of choice would be to drive somewhere secluded and let carbon dioxide poisoning get her. i was 10 when she told me that and when i didn’t react in the way she wanted, she said “**** you” and drove off. it was on her when she told me that i was very hard to like, all because i wouldn’t let her mother say horrid things about me. it’s all on her. she then asked me to stay until my cat dies, at least.

i have been trapped in this apartment for months. there is nowhere to go. we’re in a province wide lockdown now and i’m just,, so trapped. i’m likely going to fail english because i can’t focus on anything but this. night school starts tomorrow and then i’ll have even more on my plate. i want to leave. i have money saved. it’s not much but it’s a start. i have never been more tempted to pack my bags and leave. but i can’t leave my cat here. i won’t do that to her but god. i’m so angry. i’m so mad. i don’t deserve this. i deserve so much ****ing more.
 
@Shellzilla This isn't the case for every single post, but reddit accounts and reddit upvotes are insanely cheap to buy. If someone really wanted their art on a subreddit to get traction, all you really need to do is get some friends with accounts to upvote/comment or just buy them and it will push your submission up above the rest. They don't moderate the fake accounts really and it's much easier to do because unlike twitter and instagram, upvoting is publicly anonymous.
 
I actually already posted this on another site, but...
The more time passes, the more problems pop up in my house. It is literally falling apart and I want to move out before something awful happens. But of course, we don't have the money for that. I can't do anything...
I spend all this time playing games, listening to music, daydreaming, etc. and acting like things are okay, but really they aren't. I need to get out of here.

this is literally our house. I feel like its falling apart but I'm the only person who cleans so it's not getting better anytime soon. I can't maintain a 4 person house by myself. but I unfortunately also can't move out until I save up some money which won't be til after I graduate :,,,,(

woke up at 6:30 today and I thought oh that's a great time to wake up! but then I fell asleep a little over an hour later and woke up at 11. :///
 
I am so tired. So tired. I couldn’t fall asleep until nearly 6 am and here I am awake at 12 pm 😴 woke up at 10 and sort of drifted back off to sleep and then woke up again at 11, 11:30, so now I’m just properly up and I feel so out of it. 😴
 
Managed to get even more sick from my siblings and had to stay home from school today. I didn't want to stay home from school since things can get so messed up by just missing one day, but whatever. I didn't want to risk anything.
 
im drained from going doing errands today, which doesn't usually happen (despite me being more of an introvert then anything) ;^; i feel so tired all of a sudden.

my controller holder is supposed to show up today, but not till like this evening >:c im impatient
 
Ugh, this has been the third time that my parents discussed a conspiracy theory about the pandemic and all that. And you won't believe where they got this information: Facebook. Yeah, they believed this information that was posted by someone else and didn't have any solid evidence to back up their points. What's even more laughable is that this so-called 'claim' was made back when the pandemic was just getting started so it's highly likely this has been debunked. No, I won't be sharing this 'claim' made by this one random person on the internet as that'll just add fuel to the fire. Absolutely infuriating that it has shaped their views on this pandemic and vaccines. I'll be sticking to credible information thank you very much.
 
having went through something really similar with my mother i can sympathize with how you feel, theres only so much someone can take before enough is enough and you just want to get out of it, and it really sucks with these lockdowns making everything amplified because theres nowhere to go. I held out for years before i finally left, and when i did it felt like a huge weight had been taken off my back. i dont know your situation so i can't really tell you what you could do and even then its not my place to suggest things, but when i had to do it i was lucky to have people i could stay with and it helped prop me up to where i am today.

just know that there is a light at the end of the tunnel, you'll get there. look forward to it
 
Work is short-handed, this week and next week are gonna be so fun :*) Today was the first day of being short handed and was not easy.

I'm sooooo damn tired of hearing DONALD TRUMP DONALD TRUMP DONALD TRUMP DONALD TRUMP all the time 😑

This is my damn mom! She's not a Trumpie but DAMN does that woman not SHUT UP about what political thing is goin on in the news today and Trump this and Trump that. She turns on CNN at dinner and just will not shut up about it, even as literally anyone else in my family changes the subject. Then one small thing will remind her of somethin she saw on the news then will go right back to talking about it even thou we're all so very tired of hearing it. I try to tune it out as much as possible but omg she just goes on about it. Sorry to ride off your post.
 
I feel like I am plagued with bad luck especially with gatcha games

I’ve moved 4 times in the last two years and haven’t even started college yet. It would be wonderful to settle down somewhere long term, but my moms and grandparents want me to stay in Oregon. What’s it even like to be stationary? I don’t remember anymore.
