I’m starting a new school in two days and I’m very nervous because I’m taking fancy AP classes and apparently those are for upperclassmen. I don’t want to be made fun of, but I don’t want to fail out of my glasses, wish me luck :,)

Hope it goes well, I'm sure you won't fail your classes. Let us know how your first day goes! Also, try carrying a little notebook and pen with you, and if someone DOES make fun of you, pretend to write in the notebook whilst saying things like 'fascinating, fascinating...' and 'could you repeat that, please? I didn't quite catch that last part.'

Ouch, you got some blister plasters? I don't envy you, fellow Panda. Hope it heals up soon. You want some Hydrocolloid plasters, ideally. (Sorry if you already knew that, not trying to mansplain (or rather womansplain)!

Hi! I had absolutely no idea of the. Blisters plasters! I appreciate the advice soooo much (I get constant blisters due to the karate, you've just helped me so much with that tip, seriously!! 💚)

Oh gosh, I hope you feel better soon, bless you! Give some plain toast a try, and get some rehydration stuff (Dioralyte or similar) if you can. Most important is to take small sips of water regularly, though, if you can't keep food down. Get plenty of rest and get well soon!

I have art block and have had art block for the past month and today I managed to draw the neck part of a turtleneck and a shoulder of an antagonist I'm drawing

My way of coping with this is to "break my brain" with a completely different art task. So for example, after a long day of work as a graphic designer sometimes I just can't nail another amazing billboard design. So sometimes I grab my camera and go outside and take pictures of leaves. Or, I go home and cross stitch. Getting in a rut is okay, just ride the wave and feed your brain with something completely different.
SaneMinotaur (she/her) 3 years ago
Art block suuuucks; I'm so glad that you've managed to make a start on a new project, that's great! What is the antagonist like?

Vaseline or aquaphor- anything petroleum jelly based. It is super greasy and will stain things, so be careful.

Same here. Vaseline lanette creme is soothing and helpfull for me. I only use it when i go to bed though, because it is very fat. Also Rituals Jing handcrème, but that's a bit expensive...

Whenever I can’t write anything, I just write random words that come to mind for a while. It’s very soothing and usually clears up my writer’s block. Ex. Baby, pooch, feather, lady, prim, roses, light, etc.
SaneMinotaur (she/her) 3 years ago
What are you wanting to write? Maybe making holiday gifts is the distraction you needed; do you have writer's block? Or is it just the lack of motivation?

Definitely agree that it's not laziness. It sounds like you're going through the motions and finding it hard to get any enjoyment out of life at the moment. I totally empathise, and it does make life more difficult, for sure. Do you get Seasonal Affective Disorder/ Seasonal depression?

I don't blame you for not wanting to rush into anything. I didn't have my first relationship until I was 19, and I wasn't intimate with anyone until then, either. Peer pressure sucks, but you stand firm and don't let anyone rush you. There is NOTHING wrong with how you feel or your choice here. Ask them to respect your boundaries, and explain that this isn't a joke to you. If you want to vent or ask for advice, please feel free to send me a message on here.

I did laundry and asked my beau to please take it out of the dryer and fold it as I was cleaning the kitchen. He emptied the dryer-- didn't fold while it was still warm but folded after everything was already wrinkled. So now i'm unfolding, steaming and refolding all of it.

Oh bless you, that's incredibly frustrating for you :( What does your webstore sell? Do you engage in social media to promote your store? Especially on TikTok/ Instagram. Sorry if you've already tried that, I'm just shooting my shot. Definitely don't want you going into debt!
KyaKouture (Submission author) 3 years ago
Thanks for your concern, The debt thing was more or so a future problem because by the time I'm in my twenties the economy's most likely gonna collapse on itself. I try to market it on my facebook but the only friends I have on facebook are relatives. It's a t-spring store so it sells a lot of things like shower curtains, clothes, hats, and much more. But none of my art seems to be selling...I've even started selling A.I generated art and let me tell you it's painful seeing how much better the A.I art is than my digital art, but hopefully they'll start selling.

I think I have a crush on one of my best friends, and I don't know what to do about it because idk if she's gay or not and I want to be in a relationship with her, but I also don't because my last relationship was a total trainwreck and kinda abusive, and I have some tiny mental problems that I don't want her worrying about. also I have been put in a math class in school that I'm not even supposed to be in for like another year or so and I'm being told by my parents that if I don't get high B's or higher by the end of the semester, I'm going to be severely punished. so that's fun 👍

sorry this is so long, hope no one gets annoyed by it
SaneMinotaur (she/her) 3 years ago
The only annoying part of this is what your parents said about punishing you... Did they say how they'd punish you?? That's mad to me. Also, it must be really confusing to have those feelings for your friend, especially as you don't know how she feels. I'm so sorry to hear that you've got all of this going on; and I don't blame you for being hesitant about relationships after your past experience. Tbh, I would say that you should focus on yourself, first and foremost. Buckle down on your studies as best you can, and maybe see a school counsellor if you can? Are your parents normally like this? It sounds like they may be abusive.

Just a few days ago the family was gathered around the table for thanksgiving, and we were eating the various dishes pooled by each other. I was wondering why my great papa wasn't at thanksgiving. It wasn't until I got home and saw the quilt that I had kept from his bed in the retirement home that I remembered he had died.

I know that internet hugs aren't quite the same, but I'm sending you a biiiiig hug right now! It's not an easy situation to deal with. Healing isn't chronological, if that makes sense. Often, feelings can resurface more than once; it doesn't mean you aren't making progress. Be gentle and patient with yourself, you will get there. Are you in a position to have counselling?

Thanks for the kind words I appreciate it, I think I'm in a waiting list for some sort of counselling but I'll have to wait quite a while for it unfortunately. Thanks again for the concern xxx
