Had ventured out to the shops, all masked up, to get some essentials. Guy starts following me around way too closely, not wearing a mask. I politely ask him to back off, because of social distancing. He leaps right up to me, yells "BOO" in my face and runs off laughing. I'm tiny, and was intimidated as heck. Spent the next 2 weeks freaking out every time I got a tickle in my throat. I now get groceries delivered.

My mom is in a nursing home because I can't take care of her at home anymore. The nursing home locked down back in March and I hadn't seen her since then. Covid finally got into the nursing home in November and she was one of the first residents who got it.
I almost lost her. She was really close to death and they didn't tell me how close until she was better but a lot of them thought we were going to lose her. That's a week and a half I never want to go through again.
The best thing that happened this year happened on Thanksgiving day. Because she had just had it and her last test came back negative I got to bring her home for a few hours on Thanksgiving day. I don't know when I'll get to see her again but we made it a great day.

The day I realized I suck at online school yet I still have to do it til June. I was a straight Aâs and Bâs student but Iâm now a Câs, Dâs and Fâs student. I go into sensory overload and I get twitches now because of how stressed I am with school, yet I donât do anything about it. Idek why, itâs like Iâm a sloth but my brain is being run by a Tasmanian devil .

I haven't been a good student since my big existential crisis, but remote school totally blows. I'm seriously failing too. I'm exhausted, I don't sleep, and I can barely read this right now. My parents berate me for being a lazy asshole.

Lets see This year has been hell so I went through a lot of stuff, but here you go. Number 1 my mom and dad getting divorced. Number 2 Not being able to see my childhood best friend anymore because she has obsessive compulsive disorder and is refusing to take her medicine. Number 3 a friend of mine dying of cancer and not being able to attend her funeral... I could rant and list all day but I don't want to bore you.

Actually its not a day- but a couple of months. Even since July, i have been feeling more and more sad and i overreact about everything. Everyone tells me "oh its just hormones" when in reality- i dont feel like it is.. like im constantly sad. Usually people think im faking everything but really i wear a mask.. if you know what i mean. If you ever meet me on the street, i will prolly be this hyper, crazy, bitchy but nice person, but im honestly hurt and broken on the inside.

Probaly today. I had to get my car fixed, again. Second time this year. Fist time cost me 700⏠and now 600âŹ. I had finally organized everything at school (resceduled exams, organized extra trainings for students, etc) when the news of school closings came, right after school was finished and all students were sent home already. It was only the peak of a bad week in a bad month in the worst year so far(remember how we all hated on 2019? So I'm not gonna call it the worst year ever, who knows what awaits us).

Hmmm thereâs not just one but here is the worst highlight reel, I was told my Father was going to die in January after a second heart attack (thankfully he didnât but imagine the stress) I was threatened by my work they would fire me if I didnât come in a few hours a week outside my working from home to do âessentialâ work (opening mail) despite the country being plunged into lockdown & I should have been at home, I developed anxiety, i hadnât seen my mother in 5 months & when restrictions were eased, she couldnât care less to see me, we had a massive fight, she said some incredibly hurtful things & now our relationship is near about over, havenât seen my father or my cat that lives with him in a year now as he wonât let me into the house (that I do I understand cause he nearly died but still tough) my manager was verbally abusing me & the guy I work with, we went to HR & nothing was done, both me & him took a mental breakdown around the same time, he was signed off & then quit, I was diagnosed with depression, have been speaking to a counsellor for 8 weeks now & generally going between wanting to die to wanting to make changes, I am spending Christmas on my own, my friends have all been suffering mentally, I have been talking to them but sometimes I think they just donât want to hear it. So yeah this year has been hell & 2021 is just gonna be a continuation.

TW: S**CIDE MENTIONED
Iâve been waiting for this one! February 18th was a train wreck. First, I had art with a âproblematicâ teacher who is disorganized and generally not the best at communicating. So I was emotionally drained already. Itâs fine I got home from school. Got ready for my orchestra concert. Andddddd yay got my first period and my dress is ruined! Itâs fine letâs change and put on a pad that feels like a diaper because we donât have the right size at home and I have to go! The concert just sucked. The other orchestra was so much better. This isnât just my opinion, everyone in our group agreed. This last part is great. So rewind a few days and Iâm texting in a small group chat with two other people. Letâs call them E and F. E suddenly stops replying and when he gets back, he mentions he got really bad news. I asked if he wanted to talk about it but he said no and we went back to our game. He repeatedly brought up how âdepressedâ he was. In math, he kept trying to cut his fingers with safety scissors. Weird, but ok. It escalated to every 5 minutes bringing up how he wanted to die. We asked if he wanted to talk or needed us to help him get help, but he never wanted to talk anyone. This was like over the course of 2 days. Normally, I would be suspicious for a lot of reasons, but I figured it was better to treat it as if it was real bc thatâs not the kind of thing you mess with you know? Itâd be terrible if he was depressed and we just shrugged it off. IMPORTANT INFORMATION: both of us (F and I) had had friends that legitimately had terrible depression and wanted to die. So he like âima s*icide guysâ and we spent 2 hours talking him out of it, only for a friend of his to dm me privately with a screenshot of him saying âchill itâs a prankâ to the friend. I lost my mind. Even if it was suspicious I was so relieved and angry at the same time that I just cried. I stopped replying that day after messaging F. The next day I yelled at him via text then blocked him and ignored him irl. Still blocked.
Guys Iâve been sitting with this and Iâve only been able to talk to F about this and itâs so calming to let it out after over 9 months.

I had a dingbat art teacher and Iâm in a sucky orchestra too, so I can totally empathize with you there. It really sucks when the classes that should be the most fun/easy turn into the most dreadful ones just because of the teacher or people. And Iâm really sorry about your friend, I wish both of you guys peace and happiness.

There were so many deaths in my family and shitty things that happened to me this year that I don't wanna bore people with my list, but I have a sudden urge to run my mouth rn so I have something else I wanna say. I have a theory: people who say that lockdown was a traumatic experience have not experienced other trauma before. It's not a bad thing, but just think about it. I have experienced some extremely emotionally shaking things in the past that I still hide inside, and when the pandemic hit and lockdown began, I was completely unaffected. Yes, covid is terrible and I understand that, but I just laugh at all the commercials and short videos about people struggling to stay occupied during lockdown, the "heartbreak" over staying in your house all the time, etc. I just found it funny that people thought that being stuck in your house all the time was a terrible experience. Nobody that I know who has past trauma and mental scars were really that shaken by the onset of the pandemic. Just kinda think about it. Yet again don't take offense bc it's not a bad thing, I just noticed that for a lot of people I know, this is probably the first traumatic event that they've been hit with. And idk I might be wrong. Just my theory from my experience.
