So I am a 15 year old girl I have two younger boy cousins who are 13 and 9. j don’t have a problem with them, I actually like them a lot! I just got back from a two day international standby trip With my mom where she was stressed about this family gathering the whole time and was yelling and having a hard time the whole trip. I was Also deep into the luteal phase and just started my period (I have pmdd) We didn’t get much sleep and once we got home we had about 15 minutes before my cousins showed up and we left to live in a bigger house airbnb in my hometown that could fit the whole family including my grandma and two stepsisters. So after staying up all Night in that flight j was immediately judged by my aunt and uncle for not hanging out with their cousins enthusiastically.
when I said no to doing something with the cousins to get my rest befoee a big weekend, my cousins pulled on my hair, threw pillows at my face, and just treated me like garbage and wouldn’t leave me alone. my aunt and uncle did nothing to stop it, and instead just laughed about how “cute” their boys were being.

(maybe I’m wrong, but a 13 year old (atleast me at 13) knows better than to act 5. and do stuff like that.)

his parents did nothing to stop their weird harassment and inability to take a ”no” and My uncle got mad at me for not wanting to play with them, making sarcastic jokes about how I was just a mean self absorbed teenager. I do understand that yeah, it comes off as selfish to not want to play with my cousins, but it gets to a point where I just want some time to myself.
I also take awhile to get ready in the morning. I like to have my time so that morning after sleeping in the floor I was able to get the bathroom for 5 minutes before the Cousins immediately got to me again. They had taken my pads and were opening them and throwing them all over the place (13 year old btw) but the adults said the boys were just young and didn’t know any better. My uncle called me a party pooper for not wanting to go in the trampoline with them at 6 in the morning and instead wanted some time to myself to get ready. im still in my hometown, and I feel a lot of pressure to look good when I see my friends and I will sense we live in such a small place. My uncle is now making me go to the carnival and all of the Fourth of July celebrations with my cousins and is making me go to a carnival (which im not a fan of sense i het scared of the rides😢) while watching my young cousins in my hometowm. I love my cousins but I wish my family knew that I need time to myself and their 13 year old son is old enough to not do these things, dare I say their 9 year old too.

we were biking around with my cousins also and we passed my friend who was on her trampoline and they said she looked funny and 10 years younger than me. I was so embarrassed. And my uncle mocked anither friend I saw at the sipermarket. I know it sounds trashy but I just feel EMBARASSED and unprepared to see people i know at the Fourth of July celebration when I am under this pressure to watch and play with my cousins but also preform for my peers and see my friends. Am i in the wrong here?

I don’t feel like I just expedite being awkward at the coffee shop or scared to talk to people, the anxiety I feel kind like a whole entire feeling in my brain and mind.
I get this feeling like I’m not myself. I litterally overthink every thought I have. I start to notice when I didn’t do something exactly like the week before when I was my “normal” self and I will watch content that makes me feel like myself and do things exactly how I did them last week (watch the same videos, do the same activities at the same time, etc) to try to feel normal. Sometimes I feel so weird and distressed I just want to cry. I know I should chill out but EVERYTHING I do  just makes me feel so awful and weird and distressed. Every time I have a thought I didn’t have back when I felt “normal” I feel like I’m weird, and this causes me to be socially awkward and once I have an awkward interaction because I’m looking at myself from this weird outside over analyzing everything I do it just confirms to me that I’m acting weird Wich makes all of it worse and confirms my fears even typing this out wich I’ve never done is distressing. If ANYONE has experienced this loop before please tell me, or how you dealt with it. Or if this is anxiety or something else.

I’ll start off with saying I’m 15, and only this year have started experiencing these weird periods. I haven’t found anyone who has related to me or had he same issue as me, I feeel like a total weirdo.

I don’t just experience sadness, anxiety, mood swings or being angry for a bit out of the month (like crying more than usual over things or something) it’s a whole entire feeling in my brain and mind.
every luteal phase I get this feeling like I’m not myself. I litterally overthink every thought I have. I start to notice when I didn’t do something exactly like the week before when I was my “normal” self and I will watch content that makes me feel like myself and do things exactly how I did them last week (watch the same videos, do the same activities at the same time, etc) to try to feel normal. Sometimes I feel so weird and distressed I just want to cry. I know I should chill out but EVERYTHING I do for like 3 weeks just makes me feel so awful and weird and distressed. Every time I have a thought I didn’t have back when I felt “normal” I feel like I’m weird, and this causes me to be socially awkward and once I have an awkward interaction because I’m looking at myself from this weird outside over analyzing everything I do it just confirms to me that I’m acting weird Wich makes all of it worse and confirms my fears even typing this out wich I’ve never done is distressing me. Even if this Weit’s look isn’t pmdd I really just want someone to know and understand or have experience with what I’m talking about.

I want to start off by saying I’m deleting this later, and that I am fully cis and really have no place to talk here so I’m sorry if this is invasive. im not a stranger to trans guys, i have had a few as my friends and they are all really funny And seem pretty genuin. I’ve also never had a crush on a boy before.

recently a guy from china joined our higschool and he joined our sports team. He’s the trans guy. i Was assigned to help him out During practice sense I’m Chinese to, and it’s been pretty magical getting to know someone my age that can actually speak my language too. everyone loves This guy in our team, and j think he’s super funny too, but theres a disconnect between him and the rest of us.
like he will hangout with lots of girls and yeah does seem pretty gay to Be blunt. he’s got a good sense of fashion I guess and is one of feminine when he’s not out with us. i have a few classes with him and when he’s with his girlfriends they say stuff like how men are weird and joke about stuff like that (wich I don’t have a problem with or anythjng- it just makes me feel like a creep) lately I have just been admiring him like he’s so cool in a way I can’t really discribe and the way he kind of talks and does stuff is just like wow it kind of feels like born in a feeling Boston song whenever I look at him or talk to him. but have never thought of myself as a gay person before or know anything about gay stuff. I just feel really perverted for thinking about him because yes I see him as a guy but there’s still like a disconnect between us and I have only ever liked girls so is this my brain thinking of him as a girl? or am I actually gay or something. want advice on how to talk to him or do I just never tell him anything. How do I stop myself from like thinking of him like that, idk, I hope this isn’t disrespectful to anyone on here I kinda just needed to share

I do cleanings daily, and deep Cleans every three weeks or so but they always come back. are these harmful to my snake? I really don’t want them to irritate or make him uncomfortable but they won’t go away!! I have even seen these around my room. I haven’t seen much advice online for getting rid of them so if anyone has had the same issue please lmk!

i Have a flight this afterjoon from my town to Denver to New York and then on Friday to Europe. I’ve been having anxiety dreams for the past three night and I told myself “if j have a dream tonight I’m not getting on.” I really want to go and see the world and get out of my town right now, but I am really nurvous. I got anxiety medication that goes under my tounge for the flights, but I can’t shake the feeling that I will stall or be falling. It’s not the actual plane that scares me it’s the feeling of if i go out I’ll have a moment of just free fall and total fear. I also hate boeing 737s that I’m going in a lot because I know people have experienced that unfortunate reality on those planes wich just totally weird me out.

Stop consuming media about planes before your flight. Yes- I’m even talking about this subreddit. watching statistics, disaster stories, and videos on planes can actually build up anxiety for your flight causing it to feel like this huge situation when in reality, the chances of anything happening to you on a plane are the EXACT SAME as on ground. I understand, watching success stories and finding other people who share the same fear as you talk about it before their flights can make things feel better- but it does build up a normal situation to feel potentially life threatening sometimes, which is just all fake. there is NO SHIFT when you get in an airplane. Your odds of anything are completely THE SAME. do something you like in the plane, indulge in your interests and be yourself!! i know telling you to just “think differently feels crappy, but I promise you- your mindset can go a long way. Don’t build up a situation to the point you feel like you SHOULD or NEED TO be worried for your flight to feel NORMAL. The outcome is the same nomatter What you consume or how you act or how stressed you are on the plane. Just food for thought.

It’s not really irritability or sadness, it’s more like a feeling that I’m no longer myself. It causes me to be akward in social situations and keeps me in a loop where I feel different, that makes me act weird wich confirms to my brain that I am bej weird and different, and then I keep going on this paranoid and extremely distressing cycle. Sometimes it will just make me want to cry for no reason. And always a week or two before my period I really want to know if any other women can relate to this at all. or one of feels like im constantly over anylizing everything about myself and if any action is different than a week ago when I felt “normal” than something’s wrong. it keeps me stuck to the same cycle and constantly thinking about it. Always during the luteal phase. Then when it’s over, boom life feels natural again. What is this?
