Ah Iā€™m so glad things have been mainly going well! Your hair looks awesome. I dyed my hair red a couple of months ago. Red hair club :raised_hands::nail_care:

Yeah, generally good lol. Stuffs been fairly ok. Still been struggling, but more so with anger issues than anything else lol.
Yeah, reddies! Thanks. Iā€™m going to redye the bad part of it lol.

Been taking Wellbutrin because of how tired I always am. I donā€™t think itā€™s helping lol. Fell asleep constantly on the way to work. Kinda terrifying lol.

How long have you been taking it? It usually takes 4-6 weeks for maximum effect. Give it time. And if it doesnā€™t seem to help ask your doctor if you can increase it.

Like 2 weeks, maybe 3. yeah, true. I hate taking medications, so hopefully itā€™ll start working and be worth it.

Why do people always want to surprise you? I hate it. Why canā€™t they just ask if itā€™s something you want? Then they donā€™t have to spend $200 on something thatā€™s worthless to you.

My mom bought me an erg (rowing machine). I havenā€™t rowed in like a year and a half. And my gym has three nice ergs. She bought one crappy one. It makes this awful noise and she knows Iā€™m bad with noise. Why couldnā€™t they just friggin ask if thatā€™s what I wanted? Why couldnā€™t they just get the gift I kept bringing up and mentioning and sending links to. I hate Christmas. And my momā€™s hurt that I donā€™t like it. I literally kept bringing it up and sent them a link to it. It was $20. Why couldnā€™t they just get that? I didnā€™t want anything other than those earbuds. That was it. Why wonā€™t people accept I donā€™t want anything and give me little cute things if they want to give me more?

Why am I such an ungrateful asshole? Itā€™s a sweet gesture.
But Iā€™m also mad. Like why not just ask? They know Iā€™m not good at change or that I go to a gym and if I donā€™t itā€™s cause Iā€™m too tired, not cause its not at home.

Ah itā€™s frustrating when people waste money on things. Especially when all you want is very affordable.

Like you say, itā€™s a gesture just not a well thought out one. When youā€™re more chill about it, why not just have a chat with your mum (if you havenā€™t already)ā€¦ Something like, sorry about how I reacted, I am grateful for the gesture, but really all I want is these earbuds and I donā€™t want to waste your money. Can we return the machine, and swap for the earbuds?

Nvm the bits you feel like they should get for now, I get that itā€™s frustrating that they clearly donā€™t get it, but having an argument about that probably wonā€™t change anything?

Lol yep. Haha.

I did talk to her. And she felt really bad. She also wants to work out on it, so I donā€™t think itā€™ll be returned. Plus, she had bought it second hand. So I donā€™t think itā€™s possible to return.

Yeah, we didnā€™t really argue. I just felt super bad. I still feel mad bad lol.

Idk why. Been falling into a pit of self hatred recently.
BEWARE!!: This next part has explicit words about the female body.
Also, I have this pms symptom. Itā€™s quite awful and no one has understood me when I try to explain it. If any of yā€™all have experienced it, any advice or even vocab to describe it would be so appreciated.
Itā€™s roughly this:
I hate boobs. I hate having boobs. I was on the plane and felt them bouncing and wanted to chop them off. Itā€™s not that they hurt. They donā€™t swell. I donā€™t want to be a boy. I donā€™t think. I get really down on myself and introverted and depressed. Itā€™s just bad. I want to chop off my breasts. Plust it reminds me Iā€™m a girl and reminds me I was assaulted. I also have very sensitive nipples and the first abuser constantly touched them. And so especially when on my period, if anything touches them or I move weird, I get flashbacks. So I think part of it is PTSD. But a bunch of it is pms stuffs. Idk. Ughhhhh.

Iā€™m having flashbacks. It really stinks. Ughhh

Having really bad flashbacks and emotions and idk. Feeling awful. Crying and ahhhh.

Crying, flashing back, feeling guilty and blaming myself. Is stupid. Waiting for the online assault survivor chat.

Yeah. But cause of the holidays, I canā€™t see my therapists for another week and a half.

Talked to the assault hotline and it was really helpful. Still not feeling great, but getting there.
