What's Bothering You?

Classes are going to start up soon again

I'm worried about having to pay off classes for college since I'm now using up all my grants and FAFSA money >.>

Also I'm not getting any breaks off for this semester except for Easter day. No Spring Break off, no Good Friday off, nothing except for Easter day.

*cries*
 
my back is sore ;-; luckily it's not as much pain as i was feeling last night

I hope my dad is proud of himself for supporting the riots that happened in DC on the 6th.


I think if he could've driven all the way to DC he would have. he went and protested at the state house and he flaunted it around to his family like it was something amazing happening, like it was the pinnacle of freedom and democracy-- oh I'm sorry, I mean republic. (he constantly corrects me and tell me the US is a republic, not a democracy. I don't even know).

and then ofc he got angry at me when I didn't want anything to do with what the pro-trump protesters were doing. he was basically saying that my decision to stay away was a threat to our country, telling me "do you know what's at stake?"

I haven't heard him say a damn thing about what happened since he got home. I hope he knows that I'm not gonna take any more **** from Trump and the rest of the GOP. I was already tired of it (cause a little less than a week ago he basically called me an idiot just for being a liberal) but if he doesn't feel any remorse for what happened then that's horrible.

I've also quite enjoyed seeing all the news articles about cabinet members resigning and some suggesting that Trump be removed from office immediately. I'm so tired of hearing people say he's a great president, because he's not. he should've never become president in the first place, he shouldve stayed in Hollywood. I'm so glad that democracy was able to take place and allowed for Biden to become the new president.

in fact, I remember my dad saying that (somehow) Trump would absolutely remain president after the Jan 6th event. for some reason both of my parents are terrified of Biden and especially Harris. they think that Harris will destroy this country. how gullible can they be?

whatever the case may be, I really hope that this riot was a wake up call to make both sides realize that constantly antagonizing each other is not helping this country at all. that's all Trump ever did, he just instigated fights against the democrats/liberals and somehow convinced his followers (my dad) that democrats are idiots and self-absorbed and want to see this country die. I'm so so SO glad he's leaving. only problem is now republicans will never shut up about Biden and they'll always be quick to point out his every little flaw, as if he's not human.

and after all this, my dad will never apologize for the ****ty things he's said to me about my political views. it's bs like this that makes me want to leave home. this is a very toxic environment I'm living in, because my dad is a certified brainwashed Republican who apparently can't think for himself and just listens to all the **** spewed out by Mark Levinn and Shaun Hannity. I doubt he ever said sorry about the riots either; after all, he supported it whole-heartedly and got angry when I said I didn't want anything to do with it. I hope he's weeping over Biden's win. when you follow someone as insane as Trump you're gonna crash and burn. his supporters deserve it.


sorry about the rant I'm just so fed up with the deep divide in my country and how Trump and his followers aren't doing **** about it. I think they enjoyed deepening the divide, they seemed to brag about it. I really hope Biden and Harris know what they're doing and work towards actually making America great (not again, you cannot move backwards, only forward. Biden knows that).

Why don't you just try, entertaining your Dad's opinion and listen. Knowledge is power, and knowledge of how and why your Dad feels that way can go a long way into understanding him and maybe even finding common ground.
When your Dad says something you disagree with, don't cut him off and shut him out. Just listen. Your Dad raised you and loves you more than you'll ever know. Maybe it doesn't seem that way to you but you are young (I assume). You will better understand when you have children of your own. He doesn't want to bring you harm, and he probably feels that you are caught up on the lies being told to our youth. You don't need to believe or trust me, I'm just trying to throw some common sense into the equation. Your Dad is upset, and rightfully so, and maybe doesn't handle that emotion very well when the child he loves is thinking and saying things that deeply hurt him.
Look at him as a man in pain and try to give him some sense of concern and care. I comes down to just listening to him. It doesn't hurt you, it won't cost you anything, you don't have to change your mind or feelings, but you have everything to gain!!!

He loves you, you love him, listen to how he feels and you will feel better, I promise.
If it doesn't, you can have all my tbt at the time it failed.

I think what makes this so hard for me to do is the fact that he's constantly rude to all of us (me, my mom, my brother) and he's completely unwilling to open up and talk to anyone about his issues. we know he has issues cause he grew up with an abusive father but he's gotta do some work on his part, he needs to make an effort to better himself. I just can't stand dealing w him anymore. after 21 years it's getting old.
 
@xSuperMario64x
as i said, maybe he has issues handling his emotions. If he can see that you are, at the very least, trying to listen to him. He can have some sense that his opinions are being considered.
People yell and get rude because they feel they aren't being heard. Just hear him out.
 
GAH! How ignorant can my mother be?

... It'd be nice to have some support. But noooo, you're too selfish! you stupid *****

Stupid piece of ****

yeah maybe I did say I'd do it all on my own don't worry bout it. But don't you feel lacking as a parent in any ****ing way???? Stupid *****. Screw you and screw everyone. And those times where I tried to let loose and have fun with you guys eventually get twisted in some racist way or some ****. **** all of ya'll, can't wait to say goodbye to you guys on Sunday!
 
irritated that my manager has something against me and refuses to promote me even though everyone else at the store thinks i should be. that and i hate my job. and i hate my coworkers. and i hate that there's literally nothing else for me to do but suck it up and keep working.
 
Being off my meds for four days has made me really irritable and angsty. Exercise helps, but I can only keep it up for so long. Hopefully my refill will come in soon...

sounds a lot like my dad. My dad is also fairly conservative and unwilling to change his views, but in my case he literally doesn't have any critical thinking skills and can't back up what he says lol. He often just repeats what the media says without thinking much more. He's had a bad past as well like yours, but the part I highlighted in the quote is his problem as well. He's had years to change but he listens to absolutely nobody. After 23 years of this ****, I couldn't care if he loves me or not, or even apologizes, because the same **** will happen over and over again until he makes a change in himself.
 
I don’t feel super great. I’m okay and my days been okay but I can just tell that I’m feeling off suddenly and I hate it. It frustrates me when I’ll be fine and then one little thing will happen and I’ll just end up upsetting myself over nothing. I’m trying to ignore it but I can feel that like nervous knot in my stomach sort of thing and like I’m about to cry. :/
 
It bothers me how much I'm down on myself, and no matter what I do I can never seem to shake it. I don't know, I'm so quick to compare myself to others out of impulse.

And recently I've been feeling so insecure; more so than usual. Everything I seem to do, I always find someone who does it 10x better, or looks 10x better, and shows it 10x better.

I hate this feelings, but it just comes naturally
 
What's bothering me is, no one seems to have a spare rocket DIY.
 
I stayed up too late last night cause I lost track of the time (i usually go to bed at 10pm but I went to bed at like 1:30 instead) and now it's 11:20am and I'm really tired 😣
 
my brother and dad are always arguing about the most basic things, i feel like i'm listening to the same conversation every single day it's so annoying 😑
 
It's supposed to be a dress up day at my work with a "cozy" theme. I was going to borrow some clothes from my partner to wear (because what are boyfriends for if not to steal their clothes right?) but he left the house at 7am this morning because his dad is in hospital.

So now I am worried about his dad, worried about my partner, and everyone's just looking at me like I'm a party pooper for not wearing pj's at work like sorry I wasn't in the mood today? It seems inappropriate to be doing "fun dress up" when a family member is doing so poorly. And also didn't want to borrow clothes without asking. But I didn't want to explain all that to them either so I'm just the work buzzkill today who didn't dress up 🙄
.
 
My head hurts and has been hurting for hooouurs now, almost for the entirety of my 10.5 hour shift today. I drank water and turned off the lights (save for my light up thingy that makes a soft light so I can see wear I'm walking and my phone set all the way down) but neither have helped.
I really haven't had anything to eat since 6am this morning (it's almost 7pm now) but what is being made for dinner I don't like. So my stomach also hurts the point of feeling nauseous.
What a swell way to end the week.-.
 
As I was trying to pay off my tuition, I ended up taking money away instead of actually paying it off because of how weird the format of the system is, and I'm really stressed rn. I tried contacting the office at my college and emailing them, but I got automatic messages back saying that they won't be back until January 19, which is when payments are due. I'm so stressed out right now and I can't think rn.
