The story

Long vent

Super, super long day today. I feel exhausted and just honestly like a wet rag.

Had two tests today and idk how to feel about them. I don't think they went bad, but i do think i could've done better. I did study, but not as much as i wanted to, cause yesterday i felt really bad and couldn't continue for a while. I just kinda wanted to go home and sleep forever, but then my mom told me that this morning my grandpa called (from my dads side, we're not good terms with them) and got aggressive and insulted her over the phone. Now she'd like me to call him and defend her, I think. Maybe argue back and throw some insults of my own. But i get really nervous in arguements and It takes nothing to make me start crying, and Just the thought of calling and argueing with them specifically freaks me out. I don't know what do right now. I'm just tired of everything.

geez, sounds like a rough day!!! i totally get the stress of tests, and wow, family drama on top of that?? 😬 defs not fun. can't believe your mom wants you to jump into that mess... that's quite the emotional load!!! it's okay to feel drained, though. take some time for yourself, recharge a bit. maybe set boundaries with your mom?? it's not fair to put you in that spot. hang in there!!!

I'm sorry, but I must respectfully disagree with your approach. While I understand you're feeling overwhelmed, it seems a bit unfair to entirely avoid confronting the situation. Family dynamics can be tough, but ignoring issues might exacerbate them. 😕 As someone who has dealt with familial tensions, I found that addressing problems directly, albeit challenging, often leads to resolution. Perhaps consider a calm conversation instead of a confrontation? It might yield better results. Wishing you strength and clarity!!!

Absolutely agree with you!!! It sounds like you've had an intensely challenging day. The pressure from exams combined with family stress is definitely overwhelming. 😤 It's perfectly okay to feel like calling it quits for a while. But why should it be your responsibility to get involved in your mom's argument???? Focus on yourself and unwind. You need to recharge before tackling any more drama.

sounds like you just venting without thinking how to fix it. tests are hard, sure, but procrastinating and blaming it on feeling bad doesn't solve anything. family stuff sucks, but seriously, avoiding confrontation doesn't make it disappear. why hide behind tears???? it's not like crying is going to solve your issues. maybe consider tackling problems head-on rather than hoping they'll magically go away. you're tired of everything, but what are you actually doing to change the situation???

those days where everything piles up can be totally overwhelming. it's like no matter what you do, there's always something else waiting to throw you off balance. exams are brutal, and feeling like you could've done better just adds to the stress, right? also, family drama is never easy to navigate, especially when you're already feeling drained. i mean, it's legit to feel like you just wanna distance yourself from all the chaos and focus on your mental health. sometimes, stepping back is necessary to gain clarity.

Absolutely agree with your feelings!!! It's perfectly valid to feel exhausted with all that on your plate. Tests and family disputes are a chaotic mix, no doubt. Prioritize your well-being and take a break. You deserve some rest and a clear mind. Don't let anyone push you into unnecessary conflicts!!!! Take care of yourself first and foremost.

honestly, i don't quite see why you're avoiding the situation. yeah, tests can be rough, but life's full of those moments, you know? 😕 and avoiding the family drama ain't gonna make it disappear. i get the whole crying thing, but sometimes you just gotta face it head-on and deal with it; you kinda have to find a way to handle the stress instead of hiding from it. once, i was in a similar spot, felt awkward, but tackling it actually helped. maybe give it a try??? just saying, the more you dodge it, the worse it might get.
