what a ****ing mood, even my therapist wants to rant about how they/them is plural only and doesn't work as a pronoun. like why tf am I even talking to you for help if you won't respect my pronouns lmao
I don't even get why people get so caught up over the plural thing, as if English is a perfect language where all the rules are always strictly followed like have they never referred to a singular person as they/them in their life before?? Because I'm sure I do it all the time
Getting tired of hearing “Happy Holidays” or “Merry Christmas” from others to be honest. Not to be a grinch or anything, but there’s nothing really happy about this month anymore for me now that it’s the month my mom passed away. I wish sometimes that someone would give me a hug and tell me everything’s going to be okay, but sadly that won’t happen. Or that people were more friendly towards me. Idk, maybe it’s because I put up a guise irl so people don’t know the real me anyway.
Don't feel bad for not being in the festive mood knowing that this month holds painful and sad memories for you. You're entitled to feel your feelings and sometimes honesty is the best policy in order to get through this time of year. I had a friend who was in your position five years ago and even though she found her first Christmas without her dad excruciatingly painful she managed to get through it by taking this time of year one day at a time alongside her grief and Christmas itself which was a low key, fuss free and quiet holiday.

It's ironic how the season to be jolly is the most stressful time of the year. I'm really sorry your mom passing away falls on this month. That must be really difficult to deal with. I understand the feeling of just being down during this time, just under different conditions. I'll say a prayer and hope things improve for you this month whether it be emotionally or having people be more kind to ease the pain.
Idiot government, how the hell are you supposed to "avoid public transport", yeah how about you give everyone who actually needs to go in at work some free taxi rides then Also all pharmacies and grocery stores taking like 200% scam prices for face masks. Yeah gg if you want everyone to follow new recommendations.
Thanks for your words guys, but I don’t think I’m ever going to have a good Christmas again. Taking it one day at a time doesn’t change anything for me either. I’ll always associate this month with sadness and pain. Thanks anyway.

I had a toxic family who did nothing but mentally and physically abused me. At 17, they moved into a different country in a different continent leaving me alone in a country I have no one in (no relatives or anything just me and my brother). I had to work 2 part time jobs to support myself and after two years, had enough to be able to go to college.
Despite all the horrors I've been through it bothers me that I still feel horrible time to time for cutting off my toxic family or the constant reminder that it really is just me and no one else but me.
Not sure if updates are allowed but I'm updating this anyways.
I graduated and I'm now a fulltime graphic designer so I guess the storm has cleared up. Also started going to therapy spring of this year but I'm still too intimidated to take SSRIs. I'll get there one day.
I also don't feel bad for not talking to my toxic family anymore lmao **** them. I found great friends and have a great support system now and it really helps.

Grief never goes away, you'll always miss them and one day without noticing you'll be able to share or look back at those memories without crying/sadness.
It's been 12 years since I lost someone dear to me and it still hurts and I still cry about it at night sometimes, but it just means that they meant so much to me. What helped eased me was writing a letter to them, even if they'll never read it but it helped me feel like I was still close with them.
I'm always the most depressed during the holiday season too since I have no family to celebrate it with but don't shut out opportunities to be happy.
If taking it one day at a time doesn't work then take smaller steps.
Even just making sure that you're eating and moving is enough. Every little thing counts.
I wish everyone PEACE IDC ABT HAPPINESS ITS TEMPORARY JUST BE FINE EVERYONE
The problem is it has been a year and it hasn’t gone away at all. I’m not improving. I haven’t improved at all in the past year. I even still have the same amount of money as I did at this time last year. Things changed too fast in my life, and now they’re not changing at all in the way I want them to. I’m to the point of giving up because I’ve had enough.
I’ve actually been doing pretty well this week. Cutting screen time and exercising more has made a huge difference on my mood. There are just a few things bothering me.
The first issue is the feeling that every day is the same. I have a very predictable schedule right now. It feels nice in the moment, but I look back and feel like I haven’t accomplished anything.
The other issue is my upcoming class schedule. I had to drop classes this semester due to some personal events and the stomach flu. Both of those things made doing classes next to impossible. I transferred to a community college and became dual enrolled with the college I went to previously. The workload should be lighter, but I’m afraid of being tired 24/7 again. I’m already more than familiar with the “freshmen 15.” I’ll have to manage my time more if I want to keep my weight down during next semester.
Libraries who are like "DO NOT SEND STUFF WE HAD BEFORE!!" then they don't stamp nor provides up receipts with that they have had before. There is no way of us knowing what you have had before since we got different softwares and stuff sigh.
My dad has covid. He's vaccinated, but I'm extremely concerned because he hasn't had a booster. My mother has not been vaccinated at all, and is already suffering from severe allergies.
I hate that I'm stressed over his when my mother should have been vaccinated months ago. Thank you, Facebook.
My grandma is yelling at me over something that isn't my fault. In September we ordered a school sweater from a school uniform store and they said that they're backed up and out of stock so it'll come in October. October comes and I get no email that it's going to ship so I called the corporate office and we found out that they didn't even place the order with the warehouse and that our order is under the wrong phone number so that's why they couldn't find it, now they say that the sweater is going to ship in November. It's now December so I call the store number and it's still under the wrong number. We found the sweater by using it's order number and they say that it's stuck in the logo warehouse, I said thank you and I hung up. My grandma started yelling at me because I forgot to ask when it's going to arrive, and I think she called me a swear word in Spanish. She wouldn't shut up when I was on the phone.
like have they never referred to a singular person as they/them in their life before?? Because I'm sure I do it all the time
