i'm really fed up with my homophobic grandmother
i can't feel safe around her anymore

[Pudd;]

You try to help people
and what do you get in return?
they snap at you of course
no wonder my depression is winning lmao

Do not let others bring you down. That may sound cheesy, but honestly, people are people. That's their problem that they can not accept help. Depression is very common, and it is very hard to get over. I wish you the best of luck.

My grandfather has Alzheimer's, and my dog went into early stages of heart failure in November. Right now I am home from college which is great because I'm getting to spend a lot of time with my grandpa and getting to love on my dog a lot, but in two weeks I have to go back to school a 12 hour drive away, and won't be back home until end of March. I just feel so guilty all the time that I am away and missing out on these last couple years of my grandfather's and dog's lives. I know that going to school where I am is the best thing for my future, but it hurts knowing that in the mean time I am missing out on some very important parts of my present.

I can't go back to school. I'm so tired of acting like everything's fine, like my workload isn't too much or that I know what I'm doing all the time. I've almost gotten through the woods with my shadowing at the hospital (which has been extremely taxing), and now I've learned I have a research paper, presentation, and exit interview all due in one week when I get back from break. All for the same class. And that class isn't even supposed to be my main priority right now. God I can't wait until next semester. The classes aren't easy, but I can definitely coast smoothly with the lack of required social interaction. And then of course I have to take the ACT for the fourth time so I can get one more dang point so I can get more money for college. I wish I could just let it go and settle for my initial score, but I can't when so much money is at stake.

Not looking for replies. Just needed to get this off my chest.

urrgh I was feeling worse about this earlier but I still need to let it out

hmhjhdskjdnsidamd
mOM I don't wanna do homework the day after Christmasssss
not only that but half the family gets to go visit my brother and his kids
while I stay home and do school/housework
I just want to be lazy
that's a bad thing to wish for but I'm honestly not up to doing anything
it's the holidays and I can't be bothered
seriously, I was crying on Christmas I don't wanna wake up tomorrow
just
hhhhhhhhhhhhhh


Sorry if this sounded ungrateful, I'm just overreacting, huh?

[caf.]

i'm just venting, i don't know.
sorry for posting here so much, it's just a really, really bad time of year for me.
more and more today i just feel like literal garbage - emotionally and physically. everything about today just feels so...fuzzy. dull. i honestly almost blacked out earlier because getting out of bed after lying there for 4+ hours in the middle of the day was too much for my body. i've just had such a depression day and it honestly, absolutely sucks.
i've gotten very close with an internet buddy, and i couldn't be more grateful for him if i tried. even though we haven't known each other for very long, he's been through much the same things i have, been hurt by similar people, suffers from similar disorders. we talk every day, share photos, it's nice. and yet, as with everyone else, the conversations are getting shorter. enough to make me miss him even though he's done nothing to imply that he doesn't want to be around me anymore. i know he still loves me, he's as enthusiastic and affectionate as ever, but no matter how hard i try to get into one of the long, sleepy middle-of-the night conversations we used to have he never wants to engage me, it seems. it's hard - i keep wanting to tell him things but even though i know better my mind keeps telling me he doesn't need or want me - nor does anyone. this is so stupid, we met less than four months ago and it's the holidays and he's probably just busy, i'm just so overly attached and desperate for love i latch on to anyone who will give it to me. i just don't understand anymore.
it really doesn't help that it's the anniversary of one of my more traumatizing life events. i kinda feel sick to my stomach, honestly. lately i've been feeling like such a burden and a blemish on everyone around me. i keep trying to tell myself that's not true, but that's a difficult concept at this point. my parents don't want me to be happy, they just want me to be successful. my irl best friend is starting to keep things from me because she doesn't think i can handle it in my state. one of the people i thought i could trust turned out to be incredibly toxic and hurtful. my specialty group doesn't actually like me as a person, they just think i'm talented. i'm a robot to them, a singing, dancing robot. realistically, the only person who i feel like actually likes me for who i am is, well, the person i mentioned above. he's the only one i've trusted to date with everything that's going on. but even he has so many people he probably likes better than me, so many other friends to fall back on. i don't have anyone else.
it's 12:07 AM, i'm probably getting sick because my mother is. i just can't go to sleep, not feeling like this. there's such a knot in my stomach, the same knot that's been there since last christmas. i've been recovering lately, really, honestly processing all that's happened to me and finally starting to let it go and move on. i hate feeling like i'm stepping right back to where i was.
i always say i'm a serial homebody, that i'd never move, but that's not true. i ache to run away and never stop. i just know if i did i'd never, ever come back.

It's official. I can't celebrate Christmas anymore.

The only thing I've got an attachment to of the holiday is the giving and receiving of presents, and the christmas tree/decorations. That's it. There's no religious beliefs attached, no sentimental "family time" I look forward to - I dreaded coming home for Christmas because they're unpleasant to be around. Heck I can't even look forward to the things I'm attached to because I know a good 90% of the time I'll be let down some way or another.

Don't even get me started on working in retail during this time. It messes with my anxiety too much, all those rude customers.

Maybe one day I'll find my Christmas cheer. I'll find some people who will lift my spirits, who know me well enough to have a pleasant relationship with. But for now I'm the Christmas Grinch. Ba humbug. I hate this holiday.

Don't reply:

I'm supposed to be asleep, and instead of turning the volume down on my DS, I accidentally turned it all the way up.

[Imagine If.....]

So this is my first time writing one of these...I guess I'm not normally the type of person who needs to ask for help outside of my family and friends, but I need another person's opinion on this.
Alright here it goes.

So I have a sister, we are both very close in ages, and height, even look similar, and over the phone our voices are the same. Family members regularly confuse us with each other, with wrong names, etc. And in the past people have given us the EXACT same gift, with maybe a different change in color.
We have never said anything about this before, because we both don't want to come out as ungrateful, however it's always annoyed us.

The same thing happened x10 this year at Christmas. Relatives gave us same scarves, makeup, clothing, etc.
Both of us are feeling the slightest bit irritated, and by that I mean a lot.

It's not so much the gifts, it's simply the fact that people treat us like we are the same person, and it's frustrating. I love my family, and will do anything to keep them together and happy, but how do I explain to them that my sister and I are NOT the same person?
Please send me a message if you have any ideas, because I really need some help.
