The scenery changes but it's always the same action (and kind of silly actually).

I'm in any type of shop and there are Pokémon figures on display. I want to buy them but either they disappear when I'm about to, I don't actually have money for them, or the dream ends before I can buy them.

I've been a big Pokémon fan since I was a child, and figurines have always been my favourite type of merch, although I never had any growing up. Is my mind subconsciously telling me to treat myself and buy one?

I do have to say that I've seen many online that I'd like to buy. It's just that I always tell myself that I don't actually need them and it might be a waste of money. But I keep having this dream and maybe I should get one to heal my inner child. Or maybe it's just a coincidence. I don't know.

2 of my closest friends and I have a sort of trio friendship .

Some months ago I (20 f) noticed how one of them (26 m) would ignore my messages or leave them on read even when I replied to him right after. But the moment that "A"(19 f) typed something, he came back instantly.

I played it off, but it kept happening again and again. Sometimes he would literally ignore what I just said to him, and type @A to call her and speak to her, acting like I wasn't there.

We play videogames together, and it also happened there. I would invite him on many different occasions and he always said he couldn't for one reason or another, but if A appeared, he joined all of a sudden.

It's really stupid, especially because it mostly only happens through social media or videogames. But I don't have a lot of friends and it's affecting me a lot.

Today was sort of a breaking point I guess. He was on one of the videogames we play together. I spoke to him through the game and invited him to my party 3 times. He kept ignoring it, and by the third time he changed his status so he would appear on "busy". But at the same time he was speaking on our discord group chat. And the moment that A also joined the game, literally seconds after he ignored me, he added her and another friend of us to a party.

I started playing alone because it felt like he just didn't want to interact with me. But then A saw that I was online, and she called me a fake friend and a bitch on our group chat for "ignoring them". The thing is, they hadn't even invited me to the party. I couldn't join them. And he just stayed quiet like I hadn't tried creating the party myself 3 damn times.

I knew that my friendship with him was kind of "damaged", even if I don't know the reasons why. But having A be so aggressive towards me just makes it so much harder.

Worst of all is that from her point of view, it probably looks like I'm the weird one distancing myself from them. But I also don't want to tell her all of this because I'm afraid that she'd think I'm being way too dramatic.

And for the record, he has a girlfriend and she's a lesbian, so I'm pretty sure that it's not because he has a crush on her or anything like that. But I just don't understand what has happened between us. Or why he keeps using the group chat when it's clear that he's only interested in hanging out with her.

My cat Valentina died the 22nd of April at the hospital. She had pneumonia, and apparently the necropsy confirmed that she also had chemodectoma, tumors at the base of her heart which also contributed to the cardiorespiratory arrest.

Now the vet has told me to start considering euthanasia for my 14 year old dog Dragón. He was having trouble walking due to his osteoarthritis.So they started giving him shots of metamizole, which really helped. But recently he got back to no walking, and he's had 3 seizures in less than 48 hours. Vet said that it could possibly be a tumour in his head.

They're going to check him again this afternoon. But if everything keeps going this way, he'll get put to sleep tomorrow after my sister comes to the city to say goodbye to him.

I feel like my entire world is falling apart. Losing Valentina was bad enough. I thought nothing could get worse, but somehow it has. I can't live without them.

I've had this issue since I was in primary school. Teachers would tell us to make schemes for studying, but I've never been able to make the connection between words. Even if I read the information first. And I feel so dumb about it.

I have finals next week. And this one teacher's entire subject is just PowerPoints. There are no books for reference, nor notes. Just PowerPoints with half sentences. I know that this probably happens with other teachers as well, but it stresses me so much. I don't understand half of what it says.

When I attend her lessons it all makes sense. But the moment that I try to read it by myself, it feels so stupidly hard to understand anything. Not even the notes I take seem to help.

I know that the logical thing would be to ask her the parts I don't understand. But there are 8 PowerPoints for this exam, each of them with over 100 slideshows. Asking her about every single one would have been too much.

Any tips to deal with this? To try to improve and understand things better?

I don't know what's wrong with me, but nothing has ever helped. I also take too long to think how to word and write things down, even when I know the theory entirely. It has messed up so many of my exams simply because I run out of time even though I KNEW what I had to explain.
