Random Thoughts/Things?

I wasn’t really sure what to call this thread, but I’ve had this idea floating around in my head for awhile now. Basically, anyone can post anything here. Any random thought you have, any random thing that happens to you, any random question that pops into your mind. Have fun, and don’t be afraid to be random.

My music taste is so weird XD I can rock out to Come On, Let's Go by Girl In A Coma but 3 seconds later hum along to Soy Yo by Bomba Estereo and then sing to Air So Sweet by Dodie :\

I'm so confused at myself right now.

I just noticed that I've spilled grape juice 5 times within the past 2 days... Only twice of which had any horrible consequences. In other words, both of my houses may have an ant problem now. :' )

(i have a feeling the admins won't post this but um,, i need help so... going to post this anyways)  

my best friend is 

um

NOT doing well

like

her mental health is in such a state that she was almost crying (for context i haven't seen her cry once during the year & a half we've been friends) while she told me & her sister & my sister abt her situation. she said that this whole week she's been feeling left out bc i've been hanging out w/ her sister but i'm actually scared bc her behavior. i made her talk to me if she felt really bad but oh my gosh it's my fault she was sending me so many signals- she told me that listening to music means she feels terrible and at a recent sleepover she was listening to music in the corner and I DIDNT NOTICE. we have a thing- i ask her if she's tired or tired-tired and if she says tired-tired it means she feels super bad and depressed and anxious and at the same sleepover i asked her if she was tired and she said "tired but not" which meant tired-tired and i just brushed it off and didnt notice again.

i feel so bad bc its my fault she feels this bad and this is just adding proof to my 'stop being friends with everyone and hide in my room' plan because when i'm being social and hanging out with people i always say the wrong things and mess up and just

*cries*

 

dreamiing, I edited your piece a little just because we have some things we can't mention on the CB, but I tried to preserve as much as I could. --admin

oh lord, dreamii. I am so sorry she (and you) have to go through that.

My advice is get an adult. I know that she might not want to do that, but if I'm reading between the lines correctly, this is serious enough that she needs it.

However, I want to makes sure you know it isn't your fault.

Yeah, maybe you could've noticed earlier, yeah, maybe you shouldn't have brushed it off, but hindsight is 20/20.

My best friend's parents are...

not the best. They aren't abusive or mean to her, but it's just like they don't care. I wrote a whole rant poem if you want to read it, but if you don't, I'm not going to trouble you with it here.

I rant about them to everyone but her because she doesn't even realize she deserves more or that they're literally not doing their job as her parents.

My mom likes to remind me that she's not my responsibility. I beg to differ, but I do get her point. I am not her parent. I'm her friend. It's not my job to take care of her, but it's my job to be there for her and help her out.

The same goes for you. You are not your best friend's parent. You don't have to feel like it's your job to make sure that she's 100% okay all the time.

If you weren't there for her once, be there for her next time. In second grade, my friend was diagnosed with anxiety disorder. eight year old me just didn't get it, sometimes I would literally just tell her "stop worrying". and looking back, I feel terrible about that. That was a horrible thing for me to do as her friend.

But there's honestly not much I can do about it now except apologize (which I have).

I'm so glad that she had/has competent parents. (They're honestly some of the best people I've ever met.) She still takes meds but her situation is much better, and she just finished a therapy program that really helped.

I know this is annoying for me to say but I guess I'm just saying talk to an adult who can handle it. If your best friend has competent parents, that makes things easier- maybe ask your friend to talk to her parents about it, or you could go with her and do it together.

Or you could talk to your parents about it and ask them to talk to her parents about it. If I'm reading between the lines correctly, the situation definitely serious enough for another kid's parents to get involved.

*hugs* I'm so sorry you're dealing with this. I wish I could write something else but it would be censored due to its un-CB-Appropriate-ness, so... just know I'm here for you <33

Oh nooo. I'm so sorry dreamii! I don't know what the situation is like, exactly, but I would guess whatever it is she's going through is not. your. fault. You're human, and you can only do so much for her as a friend. It speaks volumes that you're worried about her and trying to get help. If you don't feel comfortable with the situation, maybe try to have another friend in on it and/or tell an adult you trust what's going on? It sounds like she's been dealing with a lot, and she's very lucky to have a friend like you. Don't blame yourself. <3

What everyone else said. Also, I get that it can feel pretty awful when you feel like you should have seen the signs, but didn't. It's rough. It's ultimately not all your responsibility and fault to shoulder, though.

*pats back* 

Stay strong, mate.
