Just looking forward to advise on dealing with addiction

My highlight is that I made friends with a raccoon in my yard and fed him my burnt homemade cookies, he actually ate them surprisingly. A bad thing is my family is kinda struggling financially since the flood and the new house so I'm kind of worried for them but it's all good. My new school is insane, I was sitting on a toilet and someone just yanked my legs under the stall and it was really embarrassing because my pants were down. I've been refusing to go to school because I'm really scared of what they will do next and it's a huge problem. I'm not sure how I can fix this, does anyone else know how to overcome being scared of school? I'm honestly such an easy target though, someone could throw a knife at me and I'd forgive them lol. By the way, someone actually has thrown a knife at me but don't worry, it didn't really hit me that bad. Also, it's not lack of self confidence at all, I'm not scared to go anywhere else in public, it's only school that I fear. My mom says I can't do homeschooling or online school because basically she thinks online school means dropping out. My biggest wish is to get immunotherapy shots because my dream job was always to be a veterinarian but I'm allergic to most animal dander. I'm not old enough to be employed anywhere yet or I'd have bought it myself a long time ago. Annually, the full 1-4 year treatment process will cost exactly 250$ for me and I know that's expensive but it's seriously life changing and it's permanent so I can literally be with animals as much as I want when it's over! Hopefully one day my wish will come true. I've never really had a friend for more than a few months but animals are like the best because unlike lots of people, they definitely do stay for more than a few months!

Hi everyone, nice to meet you all.

-My week has been hard. I feel as though I am in a fog all day every day and having a hard time even completing simple tasks. I am a teacher, and I am not sure how I do it, but I am pretty sure no one knows that I am depressed. I am finding it increasingly hard to be "on."

-If I had one wish, I would wish for enthusiastic acceptance from my family.

Hi!

I am coming out of a bad year (really toxic work environment, also triggered a lot of trauma for me).

my boyfriend has been supportive through it all but now that I have a new job, he has been distant and kind of non-existent. He told me he realized he needed me to move out (we get our own separate places) because he needs to figure out his own life and stuff (he also hates his job, some of his routines still haven’t been possible because of COVID. I’ve known all of this already and been supportive).

After some discussion I don’t mind this and it works fine for me: I also need some resetting in my life, re-defining routines as well. It is fine

But since that initial discussion, he continues to be distant. Not affectionate anymore. But he keeps talking about how worried he is about how this is all making me feel, and worried about when we move out out

It is confusing that he is worried about our relationship and what will happen, when the reality is that it is his not being affectionate and being distant is what is actually affecting me right now.

I brought up that he may be depressed a few times and he brushed it off. I then sent his some articles “depression and men” and he read them and came to me and said it all really aligned with how he felt, and that it did seem like it explained a lot of what was going on.

i know that doesn’t solve or fix anything.but I am glad he has that to have a step for moving forward with his own mental health.

my struggles here are dealing with the constant anxiety that he doesn’t love me anymore; isn’t attracted to me anymore; will break up with me after we move.

he haS assured me a few times he doesn’t see this happening and that he does love me.

i have been super depressed before, so I understand the exhaustion, emotional dampening, etc. For me it was different though and I still expressed affection (didn’t want to do more sometimes, which he definitely is experiencing too. But he usually is someone who always wanted to do stuff every day. So it is disconcerting!)

so all of the above is hard to deal with because I have anxiety. I also have trust issues.

also I recently discovered I probably have ADHD which is neither here nor there with the above, but I am trying to keep myself afloat and okay after such a terrible year.

Hello, I am new and I am looking to figure out my newly marriage issues

• How was your last week?

It was awesome. Had a band rehearsal and the signer finally did her homework and learned the songs. Now we can do something. Also, work is slow so that gives me more time to practice and browse 7cups.

• If you can make one wish, what would that be? why?

Create a vaccine that motivates pseudo-musicians to get off their behinds and go practice.
