One thing that’s helped me a lot with my relationship between me and my parents is (and this is assuming a lot abt your relationship with them) learning which battles to fight
I’m super stubborn and when my parents get mad at me that makes me want to lash out back and escalate things which just ends up with me in even more trouble, and I had to learn sometimes to just take the L, get over it, and live to fight another day
I’m sorry if this doesnt apply or it’s insensitive but this is the little bit of wisdom that’s been helping me out lately

Oh shit that’s serious
Is it stress from work/outside stuff or is it family stuff?

she’s pessimistic, she only sees the bad side of things
she also has a really short fuse, so like when i forget to push my chair in she sometimes freaks out

that’s literally me, and i can’t even win any of my arguments with my mom because she won’t use logic

Yeah, you’re facing the same issue I face with my parents except much more extreme
My best advice is: it’ll take superhuman self control and restraint (especially for a guy like me, I’ll be honest I couldn’t deal with things like that) but you need to keep your cool and stay respectful, because again fighting your parents is a losing battle and you’re the only one who gets burned
And then hopefully when she’s calm and your relationship has started to improve you can start talking to her and opening up about things to make things better for you as well

Agreed 100%
It’s sad because the way our world works, people are pressured into not talking about these things or being vulnerable anymore because the people they’d go to for support always prefer to joke around and whatnot instead of lend a hand especially because that can be seen as more socially attractive
This is great because it’s raising the issue at hand (mental health) and giving people a stage to be more open and vulnerable because everybody’s being serious already and that means people can ask for help

Exactly why I threw social standards out the window years ago. I might be quite hated for not fitting in, but at least I can retain some form of happiness in life, and its quite sad to see that so many other people can’t anymore. Sure, I might have never had any friends virtually my whole life, but with what I see around me in other friend groups, it might be a good thing, idk. Anyway, enough yapping from me for now.

Guys, I hate to admit but our town has lost yet another person who didn’t make it to college. She unfortunately passed away in a car crash, which is horrific.
It’s super heartbreaking how this is the 5th time our town lost someone so young these past couple years.

Oh my, my condolences. It’s not the first time I saw someone going to heaven for real life problems. I shouldn’t have read this thread tho, i’m sort of sensitive to those topics.
