this week hasn't really been the greatest.
to start my friend messaged me and it almost seems as if she dosent want to hang out for a while. her brother just graduated and is moving in august so she is trying to spend as much time with him which i completely get. but at the same time she is completely shutting me out, this isn't the first time that something like this had happened to me so km getting really scared that she's gonna shit me out forever. (i have pretty bad trust issues and abandonment issues, i also tend to over think) i'm scared that she dosent want to be friends anymore. she has been growing ever so distant in the past 2 months and she rarely communicates with me. i'm starting to rethink out friendship. this is really hard because i don't make friends very well and don't have many friends.
Second
when i was at a friends house the other day i got a call from my mom saying my sister was in a reck and my car got totaled. (my sister is good and so is the other person) I didn't think this was gonna take a role on me but it has, that car represented freedom to me. it represented getting away from my toxic household and being able to do what i want. i now have no transportation and it making me feel trapped in my house. i truly loved that car..
Third
my room is becoming disgusting yet i can't do anything about it (like i physically can but mentally can't) it's like i can't do anything i really want to do. i hate my room but i can't bring myself to change it
Lastly
Im starting to question of what's wrong with me is just depression or if it might be something worse. My mood changes completely with the flick of a light switch and it's been like this for years but is becoming worse. I can go from being completely happy, then something very small happens and everything goes to shit, and i completely hate myself and i'm just contemplating it all. like one example is i was minding my own business watching tv and then my brother walks in and sits down on the couch and i want to vomit arson all of the sudden. But of course i'm to scared to actully tell my parents any of this or go to a mental health specialist.
Anyways lolz thanks for the rant

Thank you for sharing about your week here!
I don’t want to intentionally brush over anything you’ve said, but I have a few thoughts/comments regarding your worries.
First off, with your friend taking space, do you think you could tell them about your concerns? I know it may be scary but I feel like if you had that reassurance or clarity from them about whether or not they are truly going to be distant from you or not would be helpful. And as a friend, they should understand your worries there.
I’m sorry to hear about your car, but I am glad everyone is okay. I definitely understand the feelings about freedom, is there anyway you could safely go for walks to get breaks from home?
And with your room, I have been feeling the exact same way for a long time. I feel so uncomfortable and it’s so hard to clean my room with all of my other responsibilities, but that in turn makes me feel bad. I also wish I could redo my room and pretty much just start over, but it’s so overwhelming. Maybe you can do one little thing at a time if you get the motivation :)

How do I feel about what's happened so far this week?
I feel like there’s been good and bad things. I have a lot going on but at least I’m doing my best.
How do I feel about what's happening the rest of the week?
I feel okay, I have plans with friends and family. I just need to find time for school work too.
I'm excited to focus on...
Healing from my recent break up and learning more about myself and my needs.
I will create space from
People who bring me down.
What am I avoiding?
My feelings concerning my ex, and being clear about these worries with new people.
And what will I do about it?

3: Toxic people in my life

How do I feel about what's happened so far this week? Well not so great so that's why I joined
The rest of the week is fairly busy. Some things are responsibilities that must be done on time/ schedule. Other things are just appointments, some which should be alright. That’s appreciated.
Excited to focus on: getting all things accomplished this week. Making it alright through potentially rougher scheduled things. Hopefully have ability to get some food later sometime this week.
I will create space from toxic people who, with their own problems, require much more constant, repeated, continuous firm clear all methods of communication that I do not want, need, or have any desire for them to decide what I “need” to be doing with my life, what I am even feeling, with no information on their part, yet they feel such needs to control most everyone they can. I am not one of those! I am constantly pushing space and contact from these 4 people. They thrive on gossip and running others lives. I can run my own life.
I am am avoiding people in life who do not respect me, after a few repeated attempts, people who either are incapable of listening properly, don’t care to even listen=== then go about spreading misinformation about me. I choose to just avoid all of this all together. It’s not worth it. I have blocked their #s, blocked their texts, blocked their voicemails, yet try create more to contact me and find others to contact me for them to just get any and all info they can. It’s sad they have nothing better in life that do. I have now changed my number and they follow me whining about trying to call me, blah. I wii continue to avoid these people.
So, I am avoiding people who do not respect me, do not listen, do not care beyond what their needs are only, and feel great needs to control others in their lives.
