Have something going on that you need to rant about to get out of your system? Tell us here.

Okay so my epilepsy has held my entire life hostage. It has made it really hard to get a job. I mean at 26 I have never had a real fucking job. I have had 5 invasine surgeries 3 of which which were brain surgeries. Those three brain surgeries all happened in 2018 and my mom died in 2018 too. On top of all of that I have to fly to another state to get the devise they impanted adjusted because I live in fucking New Mexico the poorest state in the country. AND I cant get a job because I dont have a work history and epilepsy makes it illegal to drive. My brain sucks badddd...Luna lord is tird and has to be up to fly at 4 in the mornig. FML

That sounds like a really tough deal Luna and I really wish you the best with all that you are going through.
If there is anything I can understand it is the effects and hindrances of chronic illnesses as they are INCREDIBLY restricting in many areas of life such as career -wise, as you mentioned. At 25, I have never had much of a life carrer-wise either.
My mum is quite an imperative person in my life, a guider and instructor, and I'm not sure I would survive without her daily.
Have you ever tried meditation, and methodologies to relax your mind?
I often find that if a person is content when they have little, or they are at their lowest, then when life finally becomes kind to them, they will also be content when they have more than a little.

I can't say I gave a proper try. I tried a couple times but gave up pretty quickly. I feel like I just need a break, like for something to work out then I can work from there.

I've tried a few times too, but I think it's the kind of thing that requires constant practice if you really want it to work.
Always try to look for the good in your life because those are usually the things that work out :)
And I am pretty sure things will work out.
For the mean time, maybe try something craftsy at home ?

Ugh What a Day. The heater went out last night and so it was uncomfortable. It's not too too cold here. It's around 30 degrees at night so just under freezing. But I got a call while I was at the chiropractor saying that the plumber who is going to be there in 15 to 20 minutes. Of course I couldn't make it home in that time and I had to call my dad and have him come home from work. When I was able to get home I of course took over the supervision of the plumber who worked for hours. He eventually said that it was a problem with the gas and that the gas couldn't get through. Well while he was down there I was sitting up in my room with a candle lit and I suddenly smelled gas. So of course I had to blow out the candle and turn off the electric heater and go get the plumber. By the end of the day we'd have the plumber come out multiple times and the gas company have two people come out and spend multiple hours here. And I had to torture my cat into his carrier and trick the dog out into sitting out on the front porch in case there was actually a gas leak. And because all of this I missed an appointment I had trying to actually figure out my health insurance that I've tried to get that appointment done and don't with four months. Fuck my life.

You can do it, I believe in you. :)

Keep going guys, and always try to have some belief in yourselves :)

Thank you!"

Sooooo we got new seats today in my Spanish class, and I got placed next to this kid who never does any work, and pretty much just pisses the teacher off all hour. Whatever, I can deal with that.
He started talking to the kids sitting behind us, and they began talking about this guy they knew. I usually try not to eavesdrop, but they were RIGHT next to me. So they were calling this guy “gay” and “faggot” because he would admire something about another guy, then say no homo.
I’m raging inside because this is not acceptable

I think you should tell them to stop. Be bold.

I agree. In my opinion causing distractions in the classroom is already a problem but there's no room for hate.

I agree with Erin and LunaLord. It's not good to hear something like that and not do anything about it.

I'm really frustrated that the reading challenge ended before midnight. I suppose I should have realized but now it won't count me as successful eventhough I just hadn't logged it.
