Hugs for Ranters

[Celestial]

Tiger, I'm sorry life has been so awful for you lately. You definitely deserve better than that and I really hope things get better for you soon because of that. Whatever's going on, hopefully it will get sorted soon. *crosses fingers for you*

[Liou]

Big belated hugs to Moni . You rock. I see what kind of people you meant, there are far too many. >_<


Cuddles and healing vibes to @natthewriter , take care, hope you find support and that your roommate takes a chill pill.

Moni~
I've seen too many good things come from you for you to suck at everything. Trust me, you have a good purpose and you've proved that many times over, and there are people that have seen it and appreciate it

Rabbit ♠~
Aw, that can suck when scheduling goes out the window If you really want to dress up for it, though, it's not stopping you from making your own mismatch day! Maybe make a day with your friends over the weekend to dress up as crazy as you like

Coaster~
I'm so sorry that you're going through so much. It sounds like a long year of stress, and I can't imagine what it must be like. Don't let it discourage you now, though. You've made it this far, and there's no reason why you can't keep going. The forum supports you, at least, and we're always here if you need someone to lean on or talk to. If you ever need someone to listen, I'd be more than willing to do that, via PM or however works.

Just think, if you've made it through the year, then this last week will go by before you know it *hugs*

Hugs for Moni ~

One day I'll hear that your brain has stopped telling you such rubbish about yourself and I'll be so unreasonably happy for you that my neighbours will all hear me celebrating and think I've gone mad.

(Hugs Moni again because she probably needs it - Also, apologies: my hugs are generally about as awkward as Voldemort's XD)

Graduation may be a little too pompous, but it IS the mark of an achievement. Getting through college is an achievement in of itself, and I know the feeling that maybe academics don't really "count" and maybe because you're "supposed to do it" it's meaningless, but nope, it's not. A lot of people don't get to see it. It's something worth celebrating and you are worth celebrating too. ^^ The process might have been mundane, but if you don't celebrate the mundane once in a while, well, most of life is missed.

Well, it sometimes small things that can get to you, especially if it's the straw-that-breaks-the-camel's back sort of thing. :/ You're a wonderfully talented person in a lot of things--and just because you may be a little slow at some parts of a given task rather doesn't really mean much. Everyone has tough parts of whatever hobby/career/ etc they're pursuing to get through, and it by no means means you should give up.

Kozma If people like you go to hell, the requirements for heaven must be far too strict for anybody to ever get there. You are a wonderful, sweet, person. Whatever doubts you might have, fight them, even if it gets difficult. My inbox is always open if you want comfort or just to chat.

Hugs for Carolyn

It's such a horrible, horrible process, isn't it?

But I have faith that there's something just right in store for you

[Celestial]

Big, sympathy hugs for Carolyn. I've been in that situation, more than once, so I know how much it sucks and how useless you feel afterwards. I am in the same boat when it comes to jobs and I can feel your frustration. My relatives and friends say it only takes one though, to get out of that situation. So hang in there, and if you need to rant more, I'm more than happy for you to do so. Job searching sucks, hard.

Gelquie

I saw your mini-Rant and immediately (irrationally) wished there was a dislike button, because I hate that your brain is telling you that

Let me rephrase for you:

Aaaaand I think I just proved that [my brain can still twist any situation to tell me that] I'm worthless.

[But in reality, I'm a wonderful and talented person, and] no amount of raising or lowering of moods or self esteem will change that.

*hugs*

[Tiger]

*hugs for Gelquie and Moni

Please consider talking to a therapist/counselor if you aren't already? You both deserve to be happy and it's not cool that your brains aren't letting you be that. You're both awesome people and if your brain tells you the opposite, remember depression lies.

Whatever happens, I hope you two feel better soon *hugs*

[Thorn]

*huggles Coaster*

You don't deserve to feel that way, you're a wonderful person and should be allowed to be wonderfully happy! I hope the future will surprise you with lots of awesomeness, and if it helps I have friends who have been on hormones for a few years and are now feeling much better about themselves in that regard.

Rabbit ♠ These things take time and patience, so don't be too hard on yourself if you're not out like everyone else *hugs*

In fact, there's nothing wrong with being alone at times, especially if you're not naturally extroverted. You don't have to be out to have fun, and not everything has to be taken in at once.

If you want to go out, though, and are having trouble figuring out how, I might suggest just taking small steps. Maybe text a roommate and see what they're up to, or maybe just take a walk by yourself to get outside. When I met my current friends at college, I was sketching alone in a courtyard when they came up to me to join. You don't have to compare what you do to everyone else, you just gotta be yourself and the right people will see that

Well... One roommate is at home for the weekend, one suitemate is at her boyfriend's for the night, and my other suitemate is out to dinner with one of our friends and her family, so they're all kinda busy. I took a walk earlier today, so maybe I'll do that again, I don't know...

But yeah, it takes time. I'm getting better at talking to people and being social.

[Twillie]

Rabbit ♠ Ah, I getcha with that. My roommate is always gone for the weekend too, and the friend I have actual contact info with is often with her boyfriend in the evening X) Sort of a side thing and I'm not saying this as advice, but it's fun exploring the buildings that you'd likely never have classes in. I recently went to the architecture building at my campus, and it blew my mind because I forgot there even was an architecture program XD My next planned stop is the engineering building.

But that's good Be patient with yourself, and just remember that if you ever want to do something, there's nothing wrong with reaching out to do it :3
