Today, my Mac broke. It may have been my fault. Fortunately, I was able to recover my data. I can't afford a new one. I refused my dad's offer to buy me a new one because he already gives me a lot.

I've been lonely and isolated lately. I feel that few get me. I'm sad a lot. I fear that I burdon my friends.

Today, I volunteered for a group that takes drunk students home. People were very disrespectful to me. It hurt.

After a 7 hour shift and getting home at 4 am, I side swept my neighbor's car. Fortunately, the damage is only on my car.

I'm dealing with this stress well, but I fear that I'm going to wake up and despise myself. I could use some kind words.

I think its great you volunteered to help get drunk students home , even if they were asshats .. you could have saved a life doing so.

Sorry about your computer .. Maybe if you set up a payment plan you could allow yourself to accept his help ?

When I am surrounded in stress i take a long hot shower or a bath and just imagine the stress moving away from me .. It helps most of the time .

Be kind to yourself

I know how it is for everything to pile up on you like that. It's like a domino affect... One thing right after the other. I'm sorry- I don't know why some people have to be such a$$holes! You did a good thing by volunteering. I was told once when I was in a similar situation that I must "Rise Above". It's so hard to do, but when something like that happens I say in a whisper to myself with my head held high, "I'm rising above".

Keep your head up! Remember- you are special, you are worthy and you are you- that's something no one else can be!

Tomorrow is another day....

Sorry you Mac broke. I'm a Mac person, too. I know when mine goes down, I like a crazy person to get up and going again. Hope you manage to get it fixed..

You did do a really good thing to volunteer. I can't believe they didn't show you the appreciation you should have gotten.

You will have better days.

I'm sorry about your computer :/ Also about the drunk jerks. It's really a great thing that you volunteered for that though! I hope you feel better from your illness soon, all that stress probably isn't very good for you. Get some rest and feel better!
