I'm about to cry.
This is not directed to any users individually, but is rather something that has been going on overtime.

I'm feeling the weight of the world on this site. People are peer pressuring me to hand them what they want on silver platters, or for me to put in my two cents, and walk away. It's getting harder, and harder to enjoy my time here. And I want to stay. I don't want to leave.
I have tried to quit before, but I just found that made me want to stay even more! I have friends here, close ones. I have a collection I am proud of, there's games, and good times. Serious when needed to be, and then goofy when people need smiles. There's even this wonderful thread, and the Write a Letter You Cannot Send.
I've contributed, I've played, I've taken and I've given.
I've given.
And yet people still want more from me.
And I don't know how to say "No" in any way that wouldn't hurt them. Or make them angry.
I don't want to make an enemy because I didn't accept a trade, I didn't donate to a user-made pound, or was able to answer a question properly.

I think people are forgetting that I am a real person. And I have ambitions! Goals, choices, future plans I want to make. I also make mistakes, and sometimes try to cover those mistakes by forgetting them. I've only had one person on this site make me feel more then just someone with 'good pets'. She talks to me, ask me how I am. I didn't realize it for a long time that she saw me through the computer screen. So my vast 'fortune' of my CS everything will go to her. When I quit.
I almost want to quit just to give everything to her.
But I don't want to. This is my home.
Yet I can't decide if I want to stay.

I really have no idea how to move forward with this, or if I need to move back. This has been something long time needed to say, and this is the only place I feel I can get words of actual comfort, and understanding. And I encourage, that if this breaks any thread rules in any way, to report it and delete it. I only need advice, and comfort. But I don't want to disrupt anyone else.

Firstly try to relax and let things on this site stay on this site and don't let it bring you down i know it can be hard but your a wonderful and amazing person and you deserve to be happy no matter what happens and you always have and if you feel like people are demanding too much then try not to feel forced to provide for them because you don't have to and you never have and i know it can be hard to turn others down however you have your own needs as well and if they cared for you that much they would understand and respect that fact and perhaps help you in return for all those times that you have provided for them and they have to accept that they cant always depend on you however don't feel bad for saying no its perfectly natural and everyone has to say no as some point in their lives and its nothing to be ashamed of and i know that sometimes it can seem like you might hurt them however you have the right to say no and they should respect that fact and understand it and support whatever choice you make however don't quit if cs feels like your home then it is and you shouldn't be pushed out of it no matter what happens and cs will be sad to see such a fantastic and wonderful individual leave i know i will however if you feel like its getting too much perhaps just take a break you don't have to quit forever just take a little time to help you relax and unwind a little however don't give up because im never giving up on you no matter what happens and you could always pm me if you would like to talk a little

I don't know what I do
To be ignored
I know I may not be the most non- annoying person
But that's my personality..
I can't help it...
I just don't know why
Just why?
Why don't I have many friends
my siblings do
my younger sibling is popular and gets on about how I'm not and about other things
I just...
I'm sorry for ranting

I understand how you feel and i know that it can be hard to find the right people for you however its not about having many people around you its about finding those few close people that you can feel safe with and trust them with all your heart those are the people who matter most and they always will and i know it can be hard and it might take time however don't give up you will find those people and you will never have to go through this alone and if you would like you could always pm me if you would like to talk and its okay to rant and nothing to apologize for as sometimes it can make you feel a little better to let it out

I'm so frustrated by these stomach aches, I wouldn't go as far as to say they're chronic, but they do happen far too often for my liking.

The worst part is, I just don't know how to make myself feel better, I've tried so many things with no luck, the most I can usually do is sob, wait it out and hope I can keep the contents of my stomach in one place and then when I do have things I haven't tried, I'm scared to try them in fear that they'll just make me feel worse ;A;

I've posted it about this on other sites, but it generally goes ignored, which isn't surprising and I'm not terribly bothered by it, but sometimes a little 'hope you feel better' would be nice :<

Aah, my nose is runny and gross and starting to hurt from wiping it with tissues so much

I understand how you feel have you been to the doctors about it to see if there is anything they can do or if you could take a painkiller to help ease it a little i know it can be hard however try to watch your favorite film or perhaps listen to your favorite music as it might help take your mind off it a little and try to drink water as it will help your body in fact you could try camomile tea as it helps calm you a little and helps you unwind also it gives your body water i know it can be hard to try new things however try to take it at a steady pace that's comfortable to you and if you would like you could always pm me and i hope that things improve soon i know it can be hard but you will get better eventually

Bleh I know how you feel. I get these almost chronic sore throats and it's awful.

You could try a spoonful of pepto bismo and either some pain killers or medicine specifically for upset stomachs to help you. I'm pretty sure they wouldn't make it worse. Maybe if you can you should see a doctor too, just to make sure that everything's ok. You could always keep something like a food journal, and write down everything you eat, so when you get upset stomachs you can see if there's a connection you didn't realize before. My friend had no idea she was lactose intolerant for a long time before realizing her stomach hurt every time after she ate something with milk in it.

See if you can get those puffs plus tissues they're really awesome for runny noses, and especially the kind with lotion in them.
Hope you feel better soon

I had three pet chicken that live in my backyard, Minerva, Quiche, and Benedict. I had grown very attached to them, and they to me, to the point that they would fly to my shoulder and follow me around. Last night they were all (*sobs*) killed by a fox! I am so sad right now, and I miss them so much!

I actually have been to a doctor about it, I usually get these stomach aches in repose to something (Day before a dentist appointment? Stomach ache. Day before a doctor's appointment? Stomach ache. etc etc) and I told him my symptoms and about where they occur and the circumstances under which they occur and he pretty much said 'Hm, sounds like this! HERE try taking this!' But the stuff he prescribed only seemed to help one symptom (cramps) and it wasn't even the one that bothered me the most (nausea) so... My mom's been thinking about making an appointment with a certain type of doctor (I don't recall the particular term used) but hasn't actually gotten to it yet *3*

As for painkillers, my previous attempts at swallowing pills while nauseous typically ended up with them... Coming back up a few seconds later, so I'm kind of leery of trying that.

I'm actually a bit sensitive to sound, for some reason it makes me feel worse when sick, I actually am not sure if this is a normal thing or not *3*

I did actually buy some tea to see if it might help, it's just a matter of if I'm feeling brave enough to wander out into the kitchen to make any while feeling icky.

Oh trust me, I'm drinking plenty of water, I can go through an entire, large water bottle just because of a stomach ache (even though I'm just taking the tiniest of sips)

I don't think I have any pepto on hand, but it might be worth trying, at least when I first feel a stomach ache coming on (taking meds whilst in the midst of a stomach ache has yet to have... Pleasant results, unfortunately)

My mom actually suggested the food journal thing as well, so I've been doing that... Or trying to, I usually forget *3* I tend not to think the problem is food related though, since these stomach aches tend to happen very early in the morning (6 AM in this case) and I rarely eat anything before bed I swear if these stomach aches are simply because I'm hungry...

Today is shopping day so I might just grab some of those tissues *3*

Thank you for the responses *u*

I understand how you feel and i know that it can be hard to loose those that you love however you never really lost them because they will always be in your heart and nothing can ever change that and they are proud of you for getting so far and for always being such a wonderful and fantastic person and they are grateful to have had such happy lives in loving arms however they would never want to see you upset no matter what happens and they will always be with you and nothing can ever change that so try not to cry because they still love you and they are still proud of you and they would always want you to carry on being that brilliant and kindhearted person that you always have been and if you would like you could always pm me if you would like to talk however don't cry and try to remember that you are and always will be loved

Ah, I hate stomach aches. You can always use medicine from a drugstore. Or I have three simple home remedies.

1: Honey and mint tea. I'm not sure of the recipe but the honey soothes anything sore, and it could help with your sinuses. The mint calms down your stomach.

2: teaspoon of honey. Again, honey soothes anything sore and it's sweet!

3: lay on the floor and rest. This puts your stomach at an angle that allows things to digest easier. It always works for me!

I hope this helps!

Btw, you can Pm me if you want!

1. Hm, I wonder if they have that flavor at Walmart *3*

2. The problem with that is, I can barley handle plain saltines a good portion of the time, I'm not sure how something as sweet and thick as honey would go over... My stomach just seems to be really sensitive towards flavors/textures/the overall feeling of something being in my mouth.

3. I usually do stay in bed, though slightly slanted upwards, it's only when I question if everything in my stomach will stay put or not that I start alternating between bed, chair and bathroom *3*

Thanks for the response *w* Happy to say I'm finally starting to feel better (it only took about two hours :p) =D

Honey is good for the throat too c:

If it doesn't work, lying on your stomach, believe it or not aids digestion. Lemon water and honey does good with throat, ear, and nose pain/infection.

If your nlse is clogged though, turn up your humidifier, or for even better results BOIL a bit of water, and when it begins to bubble bend over and breathe in the steam.
