I'm worried
Two things
First. At school, stomach flu is going around. I have an irrational fear of vomiting. It scares me. I don't know why but it does. I feel sick, if I have the stomach bug or not. I'm just so worried and with anxiety it isn't any easier...
Second. My friend is really depressed. All she does during our study time (my school provides a half hour at the end of the day) but all she does is look at fanfics. Her parents won't let her do it at home anymore. For good reason. She is obsessive. She somewhat identifies as LGBT, but her parents reject that. I myself am bi and am worried about what her parents may do if they found out. Anyways, she refuses to be social and has spoken before about... something of a more delicate nature than I am willing to post outright on the boards. I just need advice on how to help her, if anything.

Sorry. I've been here so much lately

i have three core classes this semester.
my worst three. english, science, and math.
thankfully i transferred out of advanced.
but i havent been getting more than ten minutes of nap, if any, every night.
honestly i dont know what to do, my mom talked about moving me to a night school...
my dad talked about moving me to a private school...
my sisters both talked to me about just letting me drop out and move in with my oldest sister...
my best friend moved and hour away last year.
i see her once a month, if that.
my second best friend is moving to his dad's once this semester is over.
six hours away on a plane...
i'll never see him, or so he suspects...
my world kind of feels like it's crashing down.
nightmares, losing my best friends, and my boyfriend is going off to college next year and i will literally never see him.
i'm so afraid to be a loner again.
i finally got used to talking in front of people, i dont want to go back to how it used to be..
it's almost been a year (january 28-29th) since the worst night of my life...
and i keep remembering back to all the memories..
i dont know, i could really use a little virtual hug.

sorry for anyspelling mistakes i'm crying and it's hard to see
i'm actually sobbing
my friend's dog is having puppies and she said she'd give me one for free
i just told my mom and she starts saying no and that i cant adopt one

she cant keep all the puppies and they will have to be sent to the pound
i just cant i've been wanting a puppy for so long and she always says no

i told her what type of puppies they are (doberman pitbull mix) and she gives
me a disgusted look and says 'no way' and starts saying how they are bad dogs
and it really hurt me because they are misunderstood

she'll never let me get a puppy
i wish she was more like my dad
my dad wants me to get a puppy but my mom is always
trying to tell him no and ugh its so annoying

i told my mom when my dad gets his new house and she said
'your dad will never find a house, he''ll probably move out a few days after like he always does'
it offended me so much that she said that about him and its just hurts

wow, i just can't wait till those puppies get sent to a pound
and i knew i lost another chance at getting a puppy as a
freaking birthday gift.

she wanted to give it to me as a present since my bday is in 2 days but nope
she just has to ruin it all again

edit; i just told her how i felt and she's making me cry even more because she starts making fun of the puppies
and saying that she cant afford them and trying to guilt trip me by saying how her scar on her nose from a puppy bite changed her forever and how she just wants a small dog
but i'm a big dog person and she needs to stop thinking all of them are bad
and she keeps saying how pitbulls are sketchy but i love them so much and she's hirting me

i just want a puppy to take care of and love

Unfortunately there isn't much you can do. Its your Mom's decision and she doesn't want a big dog. At least she is open to small dogs, I know you like big dogs but if you want one you're going to have to compromise. A Doberman/pitbull mix is not a good idea for a first time dog owner either, with the stigma they need to be especially well trained and Dobermans are naturally guard dogs. I know it's sad that they're going to a shelter, but they really should have fixed their dogs so they wouldn't have that problem in the first place.

I'm going to be an adult in two months. Maybe three depending on how you count. I get it, I'm going to be an adult. You caused me to have depression, you caused it to get worse, you caused my anxiety, while my OCD is probably my fault and your fault! You've never tested me and while medication can help you never cared enough to get me help! My dad...is such... I just wish I could curse so loud sometimes or scream [ill probably do that tomorrow], but what good will it do me? I get I'm going to be an adult and I have insurance, but more than that I get that I don't have a job!! Stop rubbing my nose in it!!! I've applied to over 30 places! You continue to rub my my nose in it! It doesn't help that it's that time and all I want to do is cry. You won't even let me cry in front of you!!! You say there's no crying in baseball, this ISNT BASEBALL! I played softball for over seven years and I was good at it! I only quit because I couldn't play anymore! It has nothing to do with having a job!!!!!!! I'm allowed to cry when I need to! I'm sorry that you see no VALUE in emotions, but I'm not YOU! I don't even know what to do anymore! I'm flipping out because all you tell me is how much I need to do this and that when you're always so angry and disappointed in me! I tell you someone followed me home and you didn't care! That just has to do with him not caring about me. He never has....

Most of this was directed at my dad. I just don't know what to do anymore...

At the end of the day, it's your mothers choice. Chances are, she'd be the one taking care of it while you're at school. I've seen you on the dog thread and you already have a big dog? Maybe your current puppy wouldn't get along with a new one.
Dogs are expensive, and it'd be your mothers' name on the vet bills, which can be very expensive.
Maybe in a few years when you get your own house, you can have lots of big dogs! Just think on the positive side. c:

I'm writing something for my english class and I don't think I can finish it.
At first I was fine, but it started bringing on flashbacks from things that I'd rather not describe.
I've legitimately "triggered" myself through my writing, but I can't just scrap it so I have to finish it but have a panic attack or get a zero.
I wish I wasn't so stupidly sensitive. I wish I wouldn't have the stupidest fears. God, I'm an idiot.
I think I'm just gonna take a zero, I can't actually finish this. I hate panic attacks. I hate this.

Edit:
well, if i don't finish this I'll fail the class so I guess I'll just get made fun of by my mom for having anxiety
this is fine

[obsceneSymphony]

I miss my parents, and I only left a day ago u_u

I want to learn to be independent but they're my best friends.

"I have a good relationship with my parents" is a very lucky problem to have, but homesickness still hurts.

we aren't a first time owner, i've owner 4 labs, 2 pitbulls, and i now have a mastiff. i've lived with 2 guard dogs in my life, so i know how it is to train them (it is difficult lol)

me and her sorted it out an i apologized. she said sorry as well, and she actually does really want to buy me a dog, but we just have no room.

@person who replied above
i've never been against big dogs. people may be terrified of them and call them killers,
but it all depends on the owner and how you train. my mom has common sense and she is a very good person.
shes always liked little dogs more, but i personally hate small dogs (i've been bitten and 'attacked' by 3 lol)
i've never had a problem with them, whenever i'm around they are always affectionate towards me and stuff

i just really want to adopt all those big puppies out there who are sent away because their owners think they are killers ;-;
one day i'm becoming a zoologist and i can adopt as many dogs as i want. it may be a while, but i'm willing to wait.

thank you guys for the advice, though its really done and over. i wont be getting
a puppy for a while and now thats its sorted out, i'm fine. c;
