When the bulling took its toll and my girl was committed to a mental institution for a short time. And nobody ever touched the bullies. I didn’t have proof, but in order to obtain proof , I would have to secretly record them, which is illegal. So dealing with bullies in Japan is sort of Catch 22.

Record them, post the recording anonymously online. At least then they do not know who to prosecute except the bullies.

I had a stroke. It was minor, no long lasting effects, but it was still terrifying. I'm only 44 years old. If you've been meaning to get healthier, but take the attitude "I'll do it when things start to get hard," don't. Do it now. I literally woke up and couldn't speak right for half a day. It could have just as easily killed me. Quit smoking today. Start a healthy diet today. Tomorrow isn't guaranteed.

Toss up between Noro virus and bad case if Influenza. Noro virus had ne vomiting and crapping half my guts out. The influenza had me wanting to stab my head open to relieve the pressure since it felt as though my head was going to burst from the pain.

After getting bullied at work end of 2022, I started to rethink my job. I decided to ask for a wage and more responsabilities and tasks. 3 months into 2023, my boss got sick of me, started gadloghting me and when I went home overwhelmed, I got a letter next day being fired ("reorganisation" was the reason he stated). I fell back in my depression.. a month later, I had a kidneystone and surgery.
Half a year later I found a new job, more pay for less hours, more appreciation and coworkers who don't bully me and a boss who says I fit in (instaid of gaslighting me).

This was a good ending. I am so happy that 2023 ended up being nice after that horrible start.

Lost my job which was paying enough to cover all my costs... and now have had to beg friends for small pieces here and there. Got so bad I had to sleep in my car briefly. I've never gotten that rock-bottom before. What's scary is I am old and it's kinda hard to start over.

Attempted gaslighting from some of my middle school students - they never learned any social norms about respecting elders during the pandemic, and refused to take any responsibility for their actions. Because I maintained fidelity to the curriculum, they felt that I wasn't honoring their beliefs or their interests, and because they felt that they shouldn't have to follow school rules that impinge on their perceived freedoms, they shouldn't be held accountable for their actions. They would repeatedly lie about what they did in class and tried to make it look like I was wronging them, both through false accusations against me and through their denials of any rule breaking. Eventually, my administration recognized how toxic these students were and had them shifted to another teacher, but the mental health stress made me panicky about entering into my classroom, and I've been teaching for 30 years now.

TL;DR - Students tried to gaslight me and my administration over their right to break school rules.

Yeah it happens to a lot of us. I’ve had it happen too but once me and him became “friends” I kinda lost the 6 year crush that I had and then just eventually lost interest. He goes to a different school now. The reason I put friends with quotation marks is because it was more of like a situationship cause we always flirted with each other. No I’ve moved on and realized that there’s more to life than boys and who’s dating who. I now have 2 boys that like me. So my best advice is to move on and seek new relationships and friendships cause you never know if you become friends with a really sweet and pretty girl. Who knows she might like you. All with the best love, Lena :)

Seeing a punk a*s teen pull a machete out at the bus stop and chasing a poor, homeless man with it. Then later on that night a couple was stabbed in a park blocks away.

Dating....

Asking my dr to be referred to be examined for add/adhd because I feel like my life is pretty much falling apart and it seems that I have pretty much all the symptoms. But she doesn't believe me -she did give me the referrence (I have an appointment in Sep. 2026...) and even though the unemployment office asked for help from my dr to get me further up the waiting list my dr won't believe I have that much of a problem. And I realized that my oldest friend also refuses to believe I could have adhd. My bf and immediate family are all certain I may have it, though. Because they see my struggles on a daily basis. I am 40yo and I guess I just learned to do my masking pretty well.... ?
