...See more I'm going to get a cyst/lump/tumor/whatever the heck it is removed off my leg tomorrow and I'm stressed out. So stressed out that I've had two migraines and my bottom lip is itchy and swollen. Idk why my body reacts that way when I'm stressed, but it's annoying.

...See more I've got this pea sized lump under my skin on my upper outer thigh. It's been bothering me for a while. You can't see it, but you can feel it under the skin. It doesn't give off heat, but the pain that comes from it is like a burning sensation. I used to be able to ignore it, but it is hurting more often and I just noticed that it is changing shape or getting bigger. Firm pea sized lump under the skin. Not moveable.

My grandfather played like he was going to hit us with his car.

...See more Just like the topic said, that's what happened. My sons (8yo and 7yo) and I were walking out of church when he played like he was going to his us with his car. Jammed on his brakes and honked, trying to scare us. Yelled out the window at my youngest son, "good one right, sons name!" We all screamed and my youngest shouted back "i guess so." Later in the car he told me he just said "yeah i guess so" in response bc he didn't want to hurt gpas feelings. I DO NOT think this kind of playing is ok. What if he accidentally jammed on the gas instead of pushing the brakes and ran us all over? I mean, I've done it a handful of times and I am not elderly. This happened last Tuesday and I am very disturbed over it, having nightmares, and have just generally not been ok. Everybody that I talk to has asked me if I'm okay and I have not told anyone what happened. I guess I just look stressed or something 🤷‍♀️. Anyway, my dad talked to him and asked him what happened. He acted like it was no big deal and he was just trying to scare us. Dad told him I had been having nightmares about it and how I didn't think it was funny at all. And my gpa's response was to say "well, I guess I should just have nothing to do with them." What the heck. What is going on?

I feel pretty hopeless right now

...See more I just calculated my debt because I have to keep borrowing from my parents to not go overdrawn. They obviously cannot keep giving and giving. I feel awful, it is just under $9k. Just feel hopeless about it all. I make $25000 a year. A lot of my debt came from school stuff that I had to do in the first year, and daycare. Which I put all on credit cards because I could not feasibly afford it on my wage. And then I stupidly chose installment loans to try and get by. Which added to the debt. I had decent credit until I fell behind on one cc. Then that's when I chose the installment loans to pay the minimum on the cc for a few months, and it made my debt worse. Obviously. I feel stupid. So so stupid. Anyway, my parents have told me we are going to talk about my whole debt situation today over dinner and I am freaking out because I am ashamed and stupid feeling and I don't want to keep having to ask them for help. I feel like an overgrown child and a burden.

Random guilt keeping me from sleep

...See more I don't necessarily have anything to feel much bad for, but I have felt extremely guilty and bad just for being human. So much, that I am finding it difficult to be happy or to sleep at night bc of intrusive thoughts.
