My older sister wakes up feeling sick like she's gonna pass out and what does she do?
Comes and sits in my doorway until my mom comes from her room

But then, she starts saying how she is sweating and has to get downstairs,

Now I'm just super anxious. I really just need a hug ;;
(It's 4:30 in the morning right now.)

Big hugs!!

Exerything is gonna be alright. She could have just been having a bad dream, or its her time of the month, or whatever. It could be really simple. I hope for all of you it is! But if its not simple, you have lots of friends here who will be here for you.

Try to get some sleep and have a wonderful day today. You deserve it!!

im kinda scared.

about 10 minutes ago, loud music was playing from downstairs (which was my family)
just then i was calling my friend z, and told her i was gonna go get some cranberry juice.
when i left my bedroom, all the lights were off, except for the fairy lights dangling in an open spaced doorway. i looked downstairs and thought my stepdad would only be asleep. i looked at the window behind him, and thought it was my mums friend (because he was wearing white today). little did i know that i didnt look properly.

when i went outside and turned the corner onto the back porch, nobody was there. turns out the white 'shirt' was just a white towel used by me when i got out of the pool today (im in australia, its hot here!).

i went back inside and thought that maybe the 'people' i saw from the window went back inside when i walked outside.
since im staying in a different state to mine, im sharing a room with my mum. but when i went into our room, she wasnt there. im looking at her bed and her pajamas are still there.

i went back to where i saw the window to see my dog asleep on the couch, and the 2 huskies sleeping on the ground. i have 2 theories:

1. mum fell asleep somewhere other than her bed in her clothes (which is actually very unlikely)
2. mum went out somewhere with (possibly) friends.

but i texted my mum asking where everyone is 10 minutes ago, and no reply. i messaged my stepdad too, but as i think he is asleep, i dont expect a response. i also texted my brother, who didnt reply either.

im scared and i need some advice. what do you guys think?

The puppy situation is getting better, but now, my boyfriend had bronchitis just before vacation and I think I may have just discovered that I have it. I've been coughing ever since I got home, and this morning Its really bad. If I had my own licence I would go in to the doctor because now that I'm up and moving I'm having a kinda hard time breathing buuuut because I don't have a fever it can't be bronchitis, or so my dad says. My boyfriend never had a fever. And according to google/WebMD, fever isn't really a symptom. I'll have talk mom into going tonight or tomorrow.

Being alone in a different place can be frightening. Your mind can play tricks on you, even more so when you've just woken up.

Flip on the lights, turn on the tube so you have a little background noise, and give it a moment. They may have just gone out to get a bite to eat or something.

They will either show up or message you back soon. Stay calm, because the worst thing you could do for yourself is panic. Then when they inevitably show up, you would be upset and angry, and they would have no clue why.

Obviously they feel you are good by yourself for a bit, so they didn't bother to let you know where they went. Be happy! That is a huge step for most families to take!!

It'll be a simple reason, and you will laugh about it soon! For now, watch some television and chill surrounded by the luxury of modern lighting.

You deserve it!

Okay so there is a very high chance I am going to go insane??
Right now, my dad is having a surgical procedure done, my brothers rather sick, and my hard-of-hearing stubborn-as-heck grandparents are here.
And I get to float in the middle dealing with everyone's problems and making sure no one dies.
My brothers temperature is high enough that I'm trying to decided whether or not an urgent care place would be a good idea. My grandparents both can't hear anything and my grandpa is just so unaware of anyone else's needs or problems or anything (for example, he woke us up early by turning on the television as loud as physically possible, never mind that everyone else is sleeping) and my grandmother things she can be in the middle of everything, but has very minimal hearing and can't move all that well, and though her caring is nice, it's really not helping right now.
Basically everything is insane and I'm trying to deal with it all and really I just want to drive anywhere else just to not be here in the middle of it all.
It's so fun being the 'responsible adult' in the house when you have no clue what the heck to do and literally everyone is shouting their problems in your face.

i woke up surprisingly in a good mood considering that i feel somewhat like crap.

if anyone needs a comforting friend/someone to vent to/shoulder to cry on/someone just to talk to, i'll be open for chat pretty much all day. send over a pm <3

[shim]

I really need a pm.

This is probably really stupid but

Im afraid of boats.. when i was younger my brother and dad were preparing the boat to go out when it exploded. They almost died.. its been 5 years since that but now I am afraid of boats. Im not really afraid of it exploding, but im afraid of the bumps and im afraid of going fast, like the speed you go when you're not in a no wake or minimum wake zone. We now have a new boat and out on it a lot and I have to come along Im deathly afraid of boats and Its such an annoying and stupidmfear bu I want to get rid of it

I used to be afraid of boats too. When I was maybe ten? I was afraid of the water as well. When my dad couldn't get on the boat I'd break into tears because my mom didn't know how to drive a boat and I was afraid we would get stranded and have to swim which made my fear of water worse. Something always to keep in mind is that you can always start out slow and always wear a life jacket. My brother was afraid of sailboats once and he still is. He starts out slow without the mast and he slowly gets used to it. Just ask your dad to go slow and wear a life jacket. I always keep my eyes on the water or ahead because it helps when I get nervous or sit in the back, the back is one of the most comfortable spots. Just start out slow, don't rush yourself. I used to spend time on the boat just by myself when it was in the stall where we kept our boat. I'd just sit there and make sure I knew every button just to make myself comfortable. It'll get better. ^^ I've gotten slowly used to my fears of the water and my fear of boating is less than what it used to be so just take your time. If you want to supside your fear just start out of water when it's not even on. ^^ I hope it helps and if not I hope you feel better. ^^ It can be fun when you ease into it. I hated the water, but I always went tubing because my brother was with me. It always gets better.

If you don't want to get on it period end of story just tell them. ^^ Whenever I didn't want to go I'd tell my mom I wasn't feeling well. They should understand if you don't want to go.

It's 2:47.... I'm scared. Very scared. VERY SCARED. Why am I scared? This will be my second interview and I want it SO BADLY. My mom and dad keep telling me how much I need a job and I don't know what they expect me to do?! I can't make them give me this job! Game X Change is the most comfortable place I've ever felt in. I just want this job...if I don't get it they'll be disappointed in me. Again. Keep your fingers crossed, I'm about to be sick. Ugh...I'm scared... I need this job.

Just had my interview. Pretty sure I didn't get it. Can i start making real money from YouTube yet? 13 cents doesn't count... I've made 13 cents. Still sure I didn't get that job. My dad told me not to be discouraged, what a load of bull. Stop telling me I need a job when I'm TRYING and I'll stop gettting discouraged.

I know what it feels like
Honestly, my mom blasts her terrible music and podcasts every day around 4 in the morning. I sleep with ear plugs every night now.
You should probably call a doctor and ask for their advice.
And I have 4 siblings, all younger than me, so I know what it's like to carry everybody's problems around on your shoulders. It's hard, isn't it? But it's a part of life, and you will learn how to handle similar problems by helping to solve the current one.
And as for your grandparents, try not to get frustrated. They're old, and are just enjoying their last couple years in life. Try your best not to cave in and if you need to, go find a quiet place to relax for a little while. <3
