October is so overwhelming, I'm already stressed. I still need to take a few rabies shots, have a bunch of tests coming up, my birthday is very soon and there is so much going on irl. I also can't bring myself to completely ignore halloween because it's the only thing keeping me connected to other humans so that's one more thing on my plate.
Also any time I try to do something nice for someone other people get upset. Today I wanted to go to my cousin's house to leave a chocolate bar and a nice note for her because she has also been really overwhelmed and she told me a few days ago that she was really craving some chocolate, but she can't go out to buy any because she is a med student and needs to go to the hospital every day and doesn't want to get covid and spread it to the patients. I was just gonna come by and leave the chocolate at the reception and she could get it when she got home. The thing is that she lives with my aunt, uncle and other 2 cousins and my mom decided that it would be "so rude" to go there and not even say hi and ended up convincing me not to go. How is that anyone's business? Just because I'm in the neighbourhood I HAVE to say hi? I don't want to chat, I just wanted to do a simple act of kindness, not turn it into a family gathering. So now I'm angry, my cousin doesn't get her chocolate and those people didn't see me anyway. Who is winning in this situation? Absolutely nobody.
Idk, lately I feel like I'm losing every battle and being overwhelmed just makes things feel so much worse. I want october to end.
All I wanted to do was drop off some chocolate. That's all. I haven't seen her in MONTHS and she is like a sister to me. I just wanted to do something nice to at least show her that I'm thinking of her even when we're apart.
God, sometimes the smallest things can feel so bad. I honestly feel defeated this week and just want to crawl into a hole and die
