In 3 days, I’m singing in front of basically my whole school and I STILL haven’t decided on an octave to sing in!!!! They are both quite lower pitched songs, but they both have moments where they go quite high. Either I don’t sing some notes (lower octave) or my voice sounds weird (higher octave) SINGING PANDAS PLEASE ADVISE

My daughter was in choir and she went through the same issues. First she was told she's a soprano, but then felt it was difficult for her to reach those high notes. Then she learned she's more of a mezzo-soprano to alto. So, she had to get moved spots in her choir. Some people will just not biologically be able to go up and down past certain ranges. You can omit the parts you cannot sing and let the instrumentals take over. (It can actually be more pleasing to the listener's ears.) Or you can implement a contrasting note (not sure what the musical term is). Another thing to note (no pun intended), is see if you can get the song played in your key. I've seen karaoke hosts changing the key for karaoke singers when requested. You just have to figure out which key you naturally sing in. Also, remember, your voice is your instrument. But unlike instruments, you cannot tune your voice like you can with a guitar or piano. (Something I learned from a vocal coach.)

A lot of necessary things in life are stressful. If you run away from anything that gives you stress, you'll find yourself with more stress and dire circumstances. If you find school is unbearable reach out to someone, like a teacher or counsellor. Maybe there's an easy solution for you. Work isn't any easier. I know it may not matter to you, but for what it's worth I gotta say I hated school. Begged my mom to do correspondence instead but she said no. Now, I miss school. I cry at work from the BS I endure on a weekly basis.

It's nearly 4 am, I have to get up in a few hours for a gruelling work day. I could technically still get a couple hours of sleep in, but it's going to be painful to wake up and I'm scared I'm going to sleep through my alarm, or my alarm will decide not to go off.
I'm scared if I don't get any sleep I'll be too tired to work and my chest will feel like collapsing all day and my eyes are already hurting but I can't sleep. My head won't shut up.

Soon I'm going to a residential mental health treatment center for the summer, I've heard terrible things about it from people I met at the mental hospitals I've been in. Apparently, you can get jumped for doing nothing. Huh? But I'm scared. I will be there on my birthday and my mama comes to visit me from texas (I live in Georgia, I hardly see her, so I'll be in the treatment center whenever she comes to visit. Sorry for typing so much lolll.

Well. Where to begin. My family is moving this month, and even though we’ve only been here a few years, it’s still stressful. Also, this account is going to be lost but I’m making a new one (months later though). But not that bad. I hope everyone who has posted on here feels better soon!
