not a great 4th

currently under a special weather statement and i can see the red & green getting closer on velocity. the fireworks & guns & thunder are so overstimulating and overwhelming that i’m really close to panicking and i don’t know what to do. i’m just praying it doesn’t get any stronger as it gets near us. this is such a hectic day 😞😞 i’m so scared

i don’t know if it’ll end up a tor or not and i don’t want it to, it’s still technically under severe limits so im trying not to freak out

stressed out about exams only 4 mom to say she doesn’t care if i fail

i freaked out for half the year because i’m studying to take the ACT for the first time ever, told my mom i was stressed and she said and i quote “i don’t care because you can just take it again next year, that’s not really a test you can fail”

Abandonment

Had like 4 people leave without a word within the span of a couple weeks. It’s hard to cope with especially when I get attached.

Can’t stop checking radar app when a storm’s near me now :(

It’s been raining and windy a lot recently. Nothing crazy severe personally for the past week or so other than flooding. I don’t usually check radar unless I need to see how much rain we’re getting but I found out about velocity and how to read it, and now I get convinced every storm that has red&green means a tornado is gonna happen. It’s late and this is happening to me now as of making the post, and I really want to sleep but I cannot stop trying to make sure this storm doesn’t form any kind of tor before it passes over us.

I’m trying to be rational, because the storm doesn’t even have a special weather statement on it….not even a flash flood warning. But of course anxious brain would like to convince me otherwise.

I hope it doesn’t rain seriously in godforsaken Mississippi for a while because I’m tired!!!! I am stressed!!! not only from the weather but with life!!!!! I don’t want to worry about storms on top of it!!!!!

▲ 108 r/Plumbing

Kitchen sink smells awful like rotten eggs when running hot and cold water.

Hi, I (F17) don’t know anything about plumbing but I am terrified of gas & gas leaks, and I heard that a gas leak can sometimes smell like rotting eggs. Lots of shock when I ran the water by myself this morning, I didn’t even run it for more than 5 seconds and it smells completely foul and off. The water that comes from the tap itself is okay, not the drain. I saw that I need photos but this is all I can get since I don’t know where to look.

Our sink HAS been having lots of issues with clogging for over a year now, we haven’t been able to get it fixed so it’s been this way for a long time. My grandma keeps pouring this stuff down the drain (attached in photos) and I’m wondering if that’s causing the smell??? She bought another bottle yesterday and has plans to use it again this week but I really feel against it. Please help?

I will note that it doesn’t happen in the bathroom sink or the tub if this helps also.

question about dynamics

is it normal for cgs to completely go radio silent when they’re not interested in you anymore? i tried asking other littles this but nobody would answer or i was ignored.

i’ve had this happen to me so many times, and it happened twice in a row today and yesterday with my carer and someone that was interested in being my big sib :(

my carer deleted his accounts on everything yesterday. the person that was talking to me found someone else and blocked me everywhere today. back to back loss with people i really liked and cared about. i don’t know how to deal with this because my regressing started because of abandonment issues in real life. i know this is all online but it feels like i can’t escape it. please tell me this is normal or something

Had an episode…while scrolling this sub 🥲

I had made a post on my old account here a long long time ago, and didn’t have another episode for a long while. Probably more than 6 months, since it was during the summer like now. I found out what my triggers were while scrolling because I nearly fainted while looking through THIS SUBREDDIT!!!!! I couldn’t help but laugh about it . I was browsing very normally yesterday and felt it come on and immediately went to go grab ice packs.

Heat & bathing are what cause my episodes every time!!! Which sucks!!! Because I’ve been trying to get myself to be less afraid of the bath & bathrooms in general !!! I’ve been having small episodes (that aren’t as intense) even with lukewarm water, which double sucks.

i hope it’s okay to ask, but does anyone else who has heat-related triggers know how best to help them? i usually just lay ice packs on myself until i feel better, but with summer coming for real i think im gonna need more than just that

This hurts so bad

I haven’t been feeling good all morning. I’m so lonely I don’t know what to do anymore. I feel like I’ve tried everything. I have so many social media accounts. No interaction on anything no matter what and how I post. I have a boyfriend but I’m always afraid of hurting him because of how emotional I am. I haven’t been talking to him as much because I’ve been so afraid of upsetting him. Every day it’s the same thing. Wake up, spend the entire day in bed, maybe workout or walk. Go to sleep. I just want people. I want to stop feeling like this. Half of it is my fault because I always get shy whenever I try to branch out. I just wish I was better at talking and stuff like that
I feel like any online friends or acquaintances I have are always talking behind my back and maybe I’m not doing enough or maybe I’m not good enough. I feel like everyone’s moving on already. I feel like my Mom is moving on and focusing on my siblings because I’m technically grown up already. She doesn’t have any reason to focus on me outside of school and making sure I get into a college.

All of this hurts
I’m sorry if this isn’t really coherent or really choppy to read, I’m just sad and need to put it down somewhere

So much work, I’m giving up

It’s not even “feeling like it”, i really do think i am
for the past couple months ive been having to catch up over and over in my online program. i put work off for a week and then get stressed the next trying to cram all the work i missed (which is usually more than 6 lessons a day) into one day, all for my grades to be so harsh when i know i’m really doing good. i feel so discouraged seeing that an 80% is a C or a 93 is only a B, all this stupid arbitrary stuff. learning isn’t fun, i’m getting bible mixed in with every single subject i have and it makes me feel like nothing i’m learning is actually real

i’ve really lost the passion i had for learning and i don’t see the point in doing any of this anymore. now everyone’s asking me about ACT and SAT tests and it’s nothing but this over and over, now i have something new to worry about and the more the test dates get pushed back the more of a failure i feel like. i’m only in 11th, i should be happy i’m almost done

i feel like crap. i’ve been stuck in this loop for years, but i like being homeschooled so i don’t want it to change that much either. i don’t know what i want anymore

I’d saw the 15% day 5 long before today. I’ve been repeatedly praying ever since that I’d end up just on the edge of a slight or a mdt like i usually do, and whaddya know I’m nearly smack in the middle of the mdt. Weather is so unpredictable and I lose sleep every single time I’m in a risk area above a marginal.

Just gonna chug tea today and hope for the best
