Ok, I just need to get this off my chest.
I am so annoyed at my grandma right now.
Just... hear me out.
Recently, she moved in with me and my family because she has nowhere else to live. Now, that's not the annoying part.
What ticks me off is that she complains about everything we do.
My dad complains about my siblings fighting, she gets all worked up.
My brother plays video games instead of letting her watch TV, she sits there silently fuming.
It never ends and I just can't stand it.
I'm not exaggerating this, I just wish she didn't have to live with us in our already tiny apartment.
When she gets so angry, I get even more annoyed at her and I'm hardly ever in a good mood at my own home anymore.
Because she's there too.
What's even worse is that whenever she wants to rant about how oh-so terrible we are, she goes to me
I have to try so hard not to roll my eyes and groan, which would make her even more peeved.
She's one of those people I don't mind being around for a couple hours, even days, but if I have to spend any longer near them, I end up hating their guts.
She acts like she doesn't trust any of us, looking down on our entire lifestyle.
And I just can't stand people complaining about things that others close to me do.
she expects us to change everything we do to make her happy and satisfied.
Any tips on how to deal with this situation would be appreciated...

My dad went to Idaho to interview for a job there. It's closer to family.
They've been looking at houses. Some have backyards big enough to get horses, which would be awesome. I'd love to own a horse. They have 5 bedrooms, too. I could finally have my own room.
And then I thought about school. I'd be going to a new school with friends, anyway--and if we moved there this year, I could start fresh when people know each other less. It's better than in the middle of the school year.
But I won't know anyone. I won't make any friends within the first year, I'm fairly certain. It takes years for me to make a close friend, and it took seven years for my best friend and I to grow so close. I can't leave.
There's also a smaller concern of mine, that the band classes there won't be as good as ours. I'd give up. I'd quit another good instrument and a skill that I've spent four years on. I don't want to risk that.
It will be so different.. I'm overweight, quiet, antisocial, self-conscious every second of my life... it's like I'd die and leave one life behind, and move to a crappier one.
I'd rather die in a car crash here than move to a new high school with people I don't know...
I'm hoping we don't decide to move.. and that we do. I don't know which hope is stronger.

Oh honey, I feel the same, Im almost identical to this. But if you move, you have a fresh start, better housing. And better people. If they judge you, do what I do, scream at them in their face that they are a bully, it scares them, I prefer to be feared than a target. I have a great group of friends, I am going to miss them, but I want a fresh start. No bullying. So, stay strong.

Same with me. Try chewing gum, it usually works for me. It gives me something else to focus on instead of a stomach ache I hope you feel better <3!

i just don't know about my family..
my mom and dad have been fighting recently, it's scaring me so much
i don't want them to get a divorce. i'm scared they will.
my brother has also been fighting with his wife, (my sister in law), and that
scares me too.. i just don't know anymore.

i'm also going to be going to a new school
this upcoming school year, and i feel so worried. i am extremely self conscious.
i'm just so stressed about things i don't even know anymore. i feel sick.

[chooch]

My bottom braces are killing me and I already took the amount I can take for medicene and it is doing me no help. I can't sleep because of them.

So for my school's disneyland field trip we had to sign up for buses. My friend's friend wasn't here so while I was next in line to sign up she told me to put her friend's name on the list - which wasn't allowed as everyone had to be present and show their ID to sign up. Stupidly, my anxiety was acting up and I felt an overwhelming sense of panic so I went with it and secretly signed her friend up before my own name.

It turns out they had a second bus numbering system with lists, so while her name is on one list her bus number isn't marked next to her name on another. I'm scared that they'll find out and question me about it since her name is in my handwriting. Now my anxiety is like ten times worse than before and I'm so scared I'm going to get kicked off the trip for it.

I need this to be okay. I can't lose something I've been looking forward to for years over a stupid, peer-pressured mistake I made when I was weak.

[[I need something to remind me 24/7 that I'm never allowed to get nostalgic.
Ever. About anything. I have so many bad memories that it's not worth bringing back the few good ones.
It doesn't help that I signed up to help out with a week-long camp thing at my old school.
It's fun, but I can't relate with the children at all and the place brings back some things I'd rather forget.

I just wish I could look past the bad endings and enjoy the good memories but I'm depressed trash.
I really have no hope for the future. Not for myself and not for the world in general.
Everything so far has ended badly for me. None of my friends have communicated much since school ended.
Of course, I've been expecting this outcome for a few years. I always end up alone with my thoughts.
I came so close to telling one of the few people I trust about what really goes on in my mind day-to-day.
But of course I chickened out, again. It's like I trust them, but not enough.
I've had these kinds of trust issues throughout my life. I should trust them, and I trust them with a lot, just... not information about myself. I can never really tell anyone who I am or what I've been through. I prefer not to talk about most of it.
I just wish I could get the guts to tell someone, and maybe they'd help me dig myself out of this pitiful hole.
But it's probably too late for that by now. I think I'm in too deep. I'm just completely numb.
I can't even bring myself to eat much more than one meal per day or sleep until I'm so tired I just crash and somehow I'm still functioning which honestly amazes me at this point.]]

Hey, don't think so negative! You are wonderful, and you don't deserve to be thinking such things. The best way to predict the future is to create your own future. That means you can change the future easily if you change your attitude. Please don't starve yourself because you think your life is horrible... it won't make it any better, trust me. I have trust issues as well and am very depressed myself, although it may not seem like that. We've all been there, had those bad days, but life moves on and people forget about it. Eventually even, you can forget about it yourself. Sometimes when I lay in bed I think of all these embarrassing moments and I think of how stupid I am for doing those things. But believe me when I tell you that you can laugh back at those memories in the future. And hey, for the trust issues? If they don't like you for who you are then perhaps you should find some other people to talk to. If you want to communicate with your friends, you've got to put an effort into it and start up on conversation. They might be just as nervous talking to you as you are talking to them. I hope you have a better day tomorrow, please try to stay strong and keep your head up for me, and keep smiling even when things aren't going the right way, alright? *hugs* <33

If you feel as if your friend is peer-pressuring you into doing things that are wrong, then I wouldn't be her friend. That's the first thought that came to my mind. If your friends are controlling your actions and taking advantage of your anxiety, then that's messed up. Please don't worry about this though. The worst thing that could happen is you not going on the trip, but hey, that's not the end of the world. I'm sorry for this trouble you are having, and I hope you get it worked out. You're not weak. You are strong. *hugs* <33

My bottom braces are killing me and I already took the amount I can take for medicene and it is doing me no help. I can't sleep because of them.

I'm sorry. Focus more on getting sleep instead of your braces and possibly you will be able to. Get your mind off of things. Just one thing's for sure, don't take any more medicine because it's very dangerous to overdose on medicine. *hugs* <33

i just don't know about my family..
my mom and dad have been fighting recently, it's scaring me so much
i don't want them to get a divorce. i'm scared they will.
my brother has also been fighting with his wife, (my sister in law), and that
scares me too.. i just don't know anymore.

I'm sorry about your parents... I don't know what to do about that... but I can relate because my parents are divorced. The worst thing that could happen is that they get divorced, but guess what? You still have them in your life, and that's what counts. You get double the birthdays and christmas'. As for your parents, I hope they resolve their differences as well as your brother and your sister in law. And I know what it's like going to a new school. I've moved a lot and have went to about four different schools. It's scary, but I had my twin sister with me so I don't know what it's like for you... Don't let other people get to you though, who cares if they judge you? As long as you like yourself, that's all that matters. Their opinions on you don't. I wish you good luck. *hugs* <33

my stomach feels stick from time to time but im not and i get nervous
erggggg

That sucks, I hope you feel better! I was sick for awhile and I know how it feels... Get some rest, and drink plenty of water and eat healthy. *hugs* <33

When I was younger my grandma lived with us for awhile... but we had a large house and I was young so I didn't really run into the same problems as you.... What I'm trying to say is that I can some-what relate to your current situation. I would tell her how you honestly feel, but politely. You need to be nice and caring to those you love because you never know what could happen, I'm just saying. If this situation is ruining your bond with your grandmother, then obviously you need to tell her how you feel and come out clean, or may I suggest talking to your parents about it? I hope it turns out okay in the end. Good luck! *hugs* <33

Honestly, try to focus on the other people around you, such as your father. This is a new opportunity for him, and for you as well! You can make good friends if you try, all you have to do is be yourself because you are wonderful just the way you are. All your flaws and all your perfections are what makes you yourself. And keep in mind that people aren't judging you as much as you are judging yourself. *hugs* <33
