What's Bothering You?

[Blueskyy]

Nothing is bothering me that much. I'm honestly just trying to enjoy the life I have while it's still the life I have...if that makes sense at all?

 

[EerieCreatures]

I don't like to talk about stuff like this but, it's been a rough... few months. So gonna ramble about the little things that are tipping my scales too far at the moment.

Spoiler: a ramble

Recently found out I have high blood pressure, which is, kind of scary to be honest because heart issues run in my family at a pretty high frequency and I already have pretty garbage health as it is and I really, really didn't need stuff like this when I'm already trying to get my other issues under management.

I've got, ridiculous social anxiety that makes any interaction with someone about 500x more stressful than it needs to be, and leads into this hellish cycle of trying to fight against it and be social, to struggling to talk to other people and interact, to feeling guilty when I get overwhelmed and can't do it anymore and leave people waiting when I really don't mean to. And it just repeats over and over and over and I'm very stressed out over it a lot of the time and that doesn't exactly help with the aforementioned issue and just, it's exhausting.

and then the really dumb thing being the darn egg event on here because I haven't been here very long, I joined like, a few months ago but I have only been on for a fraction of that time because of, things in my life happening that were really bad and I couldn't deal with trying to be a normal person, and I'm still trying to learn how a lot of stuff just, is, and there's a lot I don't know and I'm certifiably stupid so the darn clues make no sense to me and I could just, not, because I don't really care that much about the collectible things, they're cool and all and I would like to have more but it's not worth this stress, but I can't even just try to puzzle out the clues without getting really stressed and beating myself up for being stupid and it's, very tiresome. I was genuinely excited about this event. I've never taken part in one on here, or anywhere, in so long. I thought it would be fun. Instead I've been so stressed all day it's been making me sick. I don't even know why this is upsetting me as much as it is, but it is.

i’m so sorry. my father is honestly a lot like yours - he is very clearly mentally ill (my bets are on bipolar or borderline personality disorder) and as he doesn’t even believe mental illness exists, he’s unmedicated as well and we’re all left walking on eggshells. this may not be helpful but his issues are not your fault - even when he lashes out, it’s not because of you or something you did - it’s all on him and his unwillingness to take care of himself. and regardless of what anyone else says, you do not have to be the bigger person - if he upsets you, you are allowed to feel that and voice that. being the bigger person should not mean having to silence yourself or to be someone’s verbal or emotional punching bag and i’m really sorry that you have to deal with that. //hugs//

this literally scared the **** out of me. not a big deal once i actually read it but the initial red box and seeing “your account has been flagged” was scary as hell LMAO.

that startled me so much i actually jumped, and i wasn’t even the one who got the alert Dx
i guess it’s just the red and “ur account was flagged”

I can't play octo expansion anymore. I have to buy it all over again because my account was transferred over and back.
I can still play octolings, and I have all my gear thats exclusive to the expansion,
but the hundreds of hours I spent 100% the expansion? gone.

I had the same pop up and had to change my password. It sure did give me a startle.

No better way to start off your Easter Sunday but with a flat tire!

 

[Alienfish]

can it be tuesday so i can actually fix this thing, grah.

 

[Lightspring]

Procrastinating super hard on this essay due tonight. Plus it’s Easter today so I’ll have less time to complete it.

After I unfollowed my ex they did the same thing and started playing some love songs ( for someone else). I’m so conflicted. On one hand I feel liberated from that toxic relationship, but on the other I feel abandoned and disposable. They found my replacement in less than two weeks. I did nothing to warrant the block and I was never given their true intentions. I’d rather be dumped directly than given some white lies and a block. At least I don’t have to be stuck with someone who treats me that way anymore.

Feeling down tonight because I don’t have any friends in person & I can’t see my girlfriend because she lives too far. Haven’t gotten together with anyone in over a year now (save for my parents) and we’re coming up on my 2nd pandemic birthday spent completely alone. I reached out to an old friend today asking if she’d want to hang out this week (we’re both fully vaccinated so yay!!) but she has ignored the message all day. Feeling very lonely, and dreading my birthday as I always do.

 

[Licorice]

I can’t sleep but I’m bored so idk what else to do

 

[Alienfish]

Okay, this isn't anything terribly serious, but I'm a pretty germophobic/squeamish person, and...

Spoiler: gross warning

I was getting the towels out of the washing machine and putting them into the dryer, when I noticed something dark and round in the bottom of the washing machine. I was like, is that a coin? A hair clump, maybe? And so I picked it up with my bare hands. It was actually a piece of cat poo that had somehow gotten in one of the towels.
I was distressed, to say the least.
All the towels have been inspected and are getting washed again. I have thoroughly washed my hands three times in hot water. I still do not feel clean. Gahhh.

 

[Flaming_Oceans]

I have an assignment to do tomorrow on-campus and I'm kind of confused by it.

 

[Dunquixote]

I need four more eggs. i’d like all the eggs but I think that isn’t going to happen. I am having fun but I am also extremely frustrated. I am internally screaming inside not to mention how fast one of the eggs went out of stock. something else is bothering me but I can’t talk about it.

 

[Soigne]

hurts when you find out that you don't mean anything to someone you think the world of

 

[Lightspring]

Sometimes I feel so sure, and other times I wonder if I even mean anything to them. I know that I am way more attached to them than they are with me. I wonder sometimes if I really care about them for them or they were just an opportunity for me to escape.

 

[xSuperMario64x]

so I have a big academic essay due on Thursday and I'm literally missing one particular source and I cannot find a resource for it ANYWHERE within the profs set limits on where I can find resources (Credo, books, etc). It's the last piece of info I need to write this essay, im so frustrated.

I might have to talk to my prof about it tomorrow. why's he gotta make this so difficult smdh
