Just wanted to check in and see how everyone's doing! If you need to rant about something bad that's happening in your life, or if you want to share something cool and exciting, this is the place!

I'm doing alright, but it's the end of the school year and the amount of exams, tests, and the one random project (a poster on Japanese internment camps for History that was announced today, with 18 days left in school) is stressful as hell. I look like s**t and have been falling asleep with my eyes open in the middle of class for a few days now, since I don't sleep well at night due to the stress/stay up late doing hobbies/things I enjoy since there's no time to do it in the day right now.

Thankfully summer is coming up, hopefully I make it without passing out :D

it's insane how teachers are like "we MUST find something for the students to do! they must not have ONE singular day of free time, no not at all!"

my musical is this week which is insane, i didn't think it would come so fast. and my anxiety has been pretty bad lately and that combined with extra long rehearsals and a state test in every subject and a voice recital last night, it's just been a lot. but other than that i'm doing fine lol.

Everything hurts and I didn't sleep at all foe the last two days and my balance is f****d and I don't know why I can't stop deflecting my boyfriend trying to help me. I know if I let him know that I'm not doing great he'd be there for me, but I don't want him to have my problems and I don't want to be a burden. I'm just exhausted and idk what I'm supposed to be doing

not fine. not fine at all.

it’s best if i keep all the personal details out, but in short, my dad is too strict. my mom does nothing about it. not because she doesn’t want to, because she’s unable to. she’s disabled. :(

but don’t get me wrong, my dad doesn’t mistreat her or anything, but the disease also affects her mentally so we try to keep her out of these matters because she already has plenty to worry about.

my dad expects me to sit back all my life and watch everyone else do whatever they want to do while i’m stuck doing whatever my DAD wants me to do. yes, he’s my dad, he has the right to say what i do and what i don’t. but these things are EXTREME. he won’t even let me go to the mall with my friends. i’m missing out on so much. he just doesn’t get me because when he was my ever got to experience these kind of things. he doesn’t understand the importances of girls-nights-out or slumber parties or sleepovers.

and with my birthday coming up, my friends wanted to take me out to an escape room with them. and guess what? my dad didn’t LET me.

did i say too much? please don’t downvote me for spilling too much beans. i’m sorry. :(

First of all, there's no such thing as saying too much here. I created this ask specifically so people could share about whatever they need to. And I am so, so sorry about your dad. My dad is similar, but everyone we know thinks he's such a great guy. (I'm not in any way trying to one-up you, just trying to empathize). I know it seems hard now, and it will probably continue to be for a while, but hopefully once you're an adult you'll have a lot more freedom. I know that's not ideal, but it's the best advice I can give you right now. It really sucks that you don't get to spend a lot of time with your friends. I'm sorry you didn't get to go to the escape room, that sounds like it would've been a lot of fun. Let me know if there's anything you ever need to talk about. My email is on my bio, and you can always contact me if you'd like. I don't always give the best advice, but im a pretty good listener. I'm sending you lots of big virtual hugs <3
