I hope you guys don't care so awfully much, but I'm pretty sure I need to rant a bit. I'm in desperate need of hugs. This past week has been a trying one, to say the least.

I've been all out of sorts. I can't stop crying at the slightest provocation. I keep thinking thoughts that don't feeeel like mine. *uber pouts* I'm finding it harder to keep up my cheerfulness. And I feel very not brave (would that be unbrave?). Basically, I'm a bit of a nervous breakdown shambles mess.

I'm struggling with school. Math is evil. And attempts to steal one's brain.

My mother is being more understanding than ever in her own way-- yet is being even more overly protective as a result. I am perfectly capable of taking care of myself, thank you very much. I'm not so immature that I need her to constantly be peering over my shoulder. She's going to drive me nuts. Even more insane than I already am.

She wants me to go see a therapist, or something. I used to have one. But pretty much left cause the lady made me feel weird. Lots of smiles and reassurances that didn't really help. *cringes* That was a few years ago, and since then I haven't seen anyone, really. I've been okay with just talking things out with a couple of friends who actually seem to get me fairly well.

I'm all sniffly, and I'm normally the happy-go lucky cheerful kid. *pouts*

My mum and step-dad are getting a divorce. He's been around since I was five. Maybe I've ranted some a few years back about that guy. But he's finally out of the picture. But honestly, he was the only person who really knew exactly what I was thinking-- even if he did think most of it was fancy and foolishness. That I was niave, or whatever. Or too hyper. He hasn't spoken to me in six months. Don't get me wrong, I didn't like him. He was mean, even cruel with his words. But he was like me. I wouldn't be surprised to find out he's an aspie despite denying their existance. Perhaps that's his reason? *shakes head* Who knows.

And one of my best friends. I don't know how to help him. How to cheer him up. We've been really close since last summer when all of this divorce stuff started. He's been a stable presence. But he's depressed-- has been for a while. And I don't know what to do for him because I seem to be making things much worse. He thinks he's in love with me-- maybe he is. I don't doubt it. It's just that I dont' really liiike guys. Well, I mean. They're nice. Pretty. Whatever. But they scare me a bit (due to past experiances). And while he understands this, he's also a bit resentful of it, I think. (Jeff, if you're reading this... *pouts*)

*deep breath* Thank you for listening. I would love any advice, if you have it. Or just hugs. Because that would make me feel better, as silly as it seems. *passes around cookies*

Well. Sounds like you're overloaded to me. I get really sensitive when I am, I just didn't know I was for years and years. Then I threw my life around and quit university. I guess you really need to finish school though. I don't know. Try relaxing more, if you can, and don't worry too much about work. That doesn't mean you should just stall it... but I mean, try not to stress too much about it. You've had tougher times, you'll be okay.

Can I have a cookie now? :P

Ah, the pressures of life eh? They suck. Sorry to hear you're going through a hard time.

About your emotional stress and getting upset easily, that could bery well be hormonal or related to mental condition. I was like that when I was off my meds, had a nervous breakdown because I couldn't open a jam jar.

Have you seen a doctor about this? You may benefit from taking a hormonal supplement.

It seems like you have a lot of stuff piling up on once, and that can make life difficult.

I really don't know what to say, so: Things will get better!

*e-hugs*

Oh, and feel free to pm me if you need someone to talk to.

Hope things get better!
