Ugh...
I feel bad about posting here, but my friends really don't need to hear this. My parents are having porkchops, green beans, and mashed potatoes for dinner. Normal, yes? Well, every time I ask them if I could get a little bit of money, or if they could get us a little bit better food, they're like, "We don't have the money. We're eating crap now. We can't afford this and that." But yesterday, they had apparently 5$ chicken, and like I said, they're having mashed potatoes today. And us? We literally only have rice and pancakes to eat. They would NEVER eat that, and they're eating restaurant food, but god forbid they have to eat food that we do! They can't even spare an extra dollar or two for bread. Really? What's their motivation even to not get us good stuff? "We work for the stuff. We don't have enough money." Good grief. At least care, will you?

First issue. I feel like a shut-in. I've been issued into a private school for next year, finished the year here, and now I'm back here again. If I'm not reminded, I'll forget to eat occasionally. I haven't left my flat for three days, and have done nothing but play video games and go on the Internet. I've cleaned the house five times and vacuumed daily, taken two showers a day, washed my hands four times in the past hour and a halfway and haven't spoken to another human being in thirty-two hours.
Second issue. For some time now I've been going to physical therapy, and all of my doctors are subtly trying to get me into counseling or to get me to find help because they're all convinced I'm a sociopath. I have a record of doctors, and even my cousin have been telling me this, but I only show a few of the symptoms. Dangerously antisocial? I like to think I'm somewhat social outside of shut-in habits and giving in to mildly mysophobic habits to avoid human contact. Other than that, I register human emotions fairly well, and I'm fairly certain that that I can function and express emotions like a human being.
Third issue. Phantom pain is horrible. You're stuck feeling like you're still In the car crash you haven't been in for two years. You're stuck in bed, and are constantly tempted to take another pain tablet because the first two aren't kicking in yet. It's painful and miserable, feeling like your leg is being torn halfway off all over again, all the old cuts and scar tissue feel like they've been set on fire again. Even without the pain, you're still stuck in bed, too unhappy to speak English to a non French-speaking or German-speaking cousin, along with the five annoying frat kids downstairs who are waiting to subtly ask you out in the flat downstairs.

Hi, so yesterday my bunny, Thumper, passed away. She never gave any sign of her not feeling well until yesterday, and she was only about 3 years old. I'm really upset now and just need a little comfort or advice on how to deal with the loss of a loved pet. Thank you.

My mom isn't supportive. Or she doesn't seem like it. I need an emotional support dog and she seems to want to do everything to make it impossible for me to get a dog. She hates animals and the only reason she agreed is because I'll be out of the house for good in three months. She keeps getting in the way, trying to prevent me from going to shelters and stuff. I can't deal with this.

My mother. Is driving me. Insane.
All I did was miss one day of school, one, because I am genuinely sick and it hurts to talk or swallow and my head hurts, I'm not making this up or exaggerating. I was supposed to go to school just for my last class, and I get why she thinks I need to go because it's a difficult subject, but honestly my teacher does nothing in that class.
He's trying this online teaching thing, so as he sits on his computer and 'grades things' *Cough* plays candy crush *cough* we sit in his class, and he literally doesn't care about whatever you're doing as long as you're not extremely loud for too long. About 30% of the kids just talk the whole class, 50% are on their phones on pintrest, or Facebook, or youtube, so it's not like I'd even get more done there. I tried explaining this to my mom, but she thinks somehow I'll need the teacher to answer questions, even though he doesn't do anything even if you ask for help he tells you to google it. She got really mad when she found out I didn't end up going to that class today, so I could nap instead.

Ok, I'll admit, my throat isn't awful, but I really don't want to go today. I'm tired, and as I said, sick. I have a friend whose parents let her skip school every time she can't get to sleep until late, which would be so not ok in my house. If I can't sleep at all that night, my mom still makes me go, in fact, even if I did go without whining, she'd still yell at me for staying up the whole night, like I wanted to stare at the ceiling for hours not sleeping. Why can't I just take the occasional day off, it's not like there's nothing wrong with me, I could use a mental health day, and physically I'm sick as well. But nooo my moms so insistent on going to school, there's almost nothing that could convince her to let me stay home. Honestly I'm surprised she let me stay home today even if I said it was just going to be the first half of my day.

She gave me a 20 minute lecture about how difficult school is, and how hard it is to catch up, and how I always procrastinate and leave everything to the last minute (totally not true, most kids just mess around all week then cram the night before, I actually work most of the time in class, and almost every night) and I got upset and made one sarcastic comment about how I had no idea that I was going to have to catch up, and she got reaally upset with me. I know I shouldn't have said it, and after I tried to take it back, but she just yelled at me about how I'm upset all time and ugh, I know you don't have to remind me. I don't enjoy feeling miserable all the time. I don't intentionally do it. I actually try to smile more around her, and I almost never say anything even remotely rude to her, I do a whole bunch of stuff around the house without her even asking, and if she does ask, I'll do it without arguing. I know I'm lazy and don't want to do things, I know i'll have to catch up and I know I'm going to be stressed, but I just can't deal with it now. She's the one who told me not to worry about this class too much because she knows about the teacher and the class setup.
Saying I never do anything though, is so completely uncalled for. I'm the one who cleans the house to her neurotic standards, I'm the one who helps her cook and who tries not to ask her for favours.

Nothing I do is good enough for her. And I mean, I get it, because I'm not doing so great this year, but I already feel bad enough without her getting all mad at me and guilting me for being unhappy and not getting good grades. She acts like I'm trying to get bad grades, like I enjoy this. I'm upset with myself already. If this was easy to fix, I would have done it already. I'm sorry. I know I'm selfish, or spoiled, or over dramatic or whatever being unhappy over dumb problems makes me, but I swear I don't want to feel this way. I try to stop. I try to do better, and to fix what I'm unhappy about, but I just can't seem to.

I wish she would just relax a little about my life. It's my life, i'm the one who has to live with the consequences.
