I'm just a ghost.
Everything is just making me angry. Nothing is going right. It feels like going around in circles with nothing improving.
my poor financial habits are really coming back to bite me rn 
i'm talking to my therapist about it since i more or less have a shopping addiction, but nobody is taking it seriously. whenever i ask for advice i get "oh it's normal to be broke in your 20s" like yeah, sure, but it's because I AM THE PROBLEM and i'd like some advice on how to un-learn the bad behaviors i have and how other people manage but!

one of my classes is being taught poorly, and by that i mean it isn't being taught at all. we're given links to standards to read and then told to implement those standards with no instruction. then the week after, our professor says "this would've gone better if you had done extra work to understand the material!" girl, THAT IS YOUR JOB. i hate grad school.

was diagnosed with PPS recently (patellofemoral pain syndrome) and oh my god, i swear it's getting worse. now, it's hurting even when i straighten my leg to try and dispel the pain from having it bent. hope the wait for a physiotherapist isn't too long ><

Am I crazy? Do I belong in a nuthouse all because I want to take my pet (hamster ) to the hospital or give it medicine when it's ill.
My Mom does at least. Not just for Hamsters, but for all types of pets.

To elaborate a bit, it's now 4 days until my mom's would-be birthday (she passed away in 2020), and I just found out someone in my extended family passed away today as well. Just kind of tired of hearing about deaths recently. I need to see something happy or positive that's special, and soon.
I'll be okay though. I loved on my kitty some while she was in here.

I am ashamed at my home state after reading a news article that it’s become a hotbed for hate and extremism. Why are people doing these acts? They are making America less safe. It’s time for our country to start cracking down on hate and extremism.

A weird dream woke me up an hour and half before I start getting ready to babysit. I woke up with the urge to use to the restroom, but my niece is in there probably putting on makeup; and I don't want to hurry her up.

I'm just a ghost.
I don't know who I am anymore. I cannot make friends, I have trust issues, and just having a rough time trying to understand stuff.
how can i tell someone that i want them to leave me alone,,?
they're one of my best friends, but they sent me 38 texts in a span of two hours. why? because i was taking a freaking nap.
i told them that i had other things to do instead of roleplaying, and their response was just "multitask". they also constantly want to roleplay, but they usually only have one character that speaks 10 lines (out of hundreds) and i have to be all of the other characters, which is usually 8. it's basically me roleplaying with myself.
i've been having kind of a rough time with my mental health lately, and idk it never feels like "how are you doing? do you want to do this? do you have time to do this?" it's always "we're doing this thing i want to do. i'm not putting it off."
they literally tried to get me to dye my hair blue because that's the color they wanted. it feels so self-important, although i don't think they're trying to be that way.
and i know it's rude, but i've kind of just been ignoring them because i don't want to deal with it right now.

I’m really sorry you’ve been having a rough time with your mental health right now. Reading what you said honestly raised a lot of red flags to me - this person does not seem like a good friend. 38 texts in the span of two hours without having a conversation that shows a back and forth equal participation shows controlling tendencies. I think this is further confirmed by the fact that your friend won’t accept an equal share of your roleplay to make it a true back and forth participation like role play should be. Every sentence screams controlling, and I personally think if you really want or need to take a break from them for your mental health, you have to tell them. If it’s easier, you can even be vague about it, though that won’t help them change, if they’re even open to seeing the need for change. Try saying something like, “I‘ve had a lot going on lately, and I just need to take some time for myself. I’ll let you know when I can come back to roleplaying with you. In the meantime I likely won’t be able to reply to many texts, if any. I just want to let you know so you don’t worry if I don’t reply.” That way, you’re telling them you need time, and setting expectations for your friendship during this time. If this were what I considered to be a healthy relationship, I’d say that laying out the specific reasons behind your needing a break would be best, but given how I don’t think this is healthy and your mental health needs attention, I think you’re fine leaving out the specifics for now. You can choose to provide those later, if you’d like. I hope this helps, and you’re free to DM me if you’d like.

"it's normal to be broke in your 20s" well it shouldn't be lol. maybe instead of coming up with excuses they could, oh idk, actually give you some helpful financial advice? hopefully you can find the help you need, even if you have to resort to asking one of us for help. I know someone here would be more than happy to help youmy poor financial habits are really coming back to bite me rn
yeah uhhh that's a clear sign of lack of respect for boundaries. good friends understand that people sometimes need to take time for themselves, and that it's perfectly fine to do so. I'd understand if it was a dire situation, but that doesn't seem to be the case. you're not living to serve them and them only. they need to respect your space. and if they want to throw a fit or continue pestering you when you ask for alone time, then are they really that great of a friend?
I don't want to come across as pushy or rude, that's just the way I see this situation, and how I would personally respond to it. I also apologize if you aren't looking for advice, I know sometimes people post here just to vent and nothing more. I'm just keeping your well-being in mind <3
Feeling very very irritated because my mouth and throat are uncomfortable. My throat is kinda sore, actually. I am sensitive to certain things people can't see and sometimes foolishly think are just "scents". Something actually makes that scent and you're inhaling it. I don't know what my mom keeps using this week (smells like citrus?) but it's been getting stuck around the hallway for hours everytime she uses it and it happened again this morning. Previously this week I was having reactions to certain things being cooked and now it's just chemicals. Being exposed to these allergy (?) triggers multiple days in a row makes the problems worse. I'm the only person in this house with this problem or at least bothered by it. A couple of years ago when this allergy/sensitivity first developed and I couldn't stand candles and air fresheners anymore, my mom acted like I was crazy and being a problem. It has made me extremely discouraged from talking about it and I don't know what to do. I actually tried opening a window earlier and found out it smelled like mosquito repellent (probably because my mom is outside), which isn't going to help me.
I've also tried drinking things because it feels similar to my mouth being dry, but it doesn't help. It never helps.
Part of me wonders if the way I act about this is from being autistic since getting upset about the way my mouth feels seems kinda odd.
