Yikes Celestial, that was really, really not cool of your neighbor. (And also, maybe I'm not getting the whole story, but it also doesn't seem cool that the police only took the tip on that word alone. >> I'm glad it was peaceful, at least.) *Hugs if you want them.*

Yeah, the more we thought about it, the more we were like "hang on, why did the cops even bother with this?" Yes, this would have been under the lockdown rules, but this was also a private home? So we don't know. My only guess is that the cops were bored (this is a small town where nothing happens).

It's more annoying than anything, and unfortunate given the whole...situation with the police and racism the world over at the moment. This was the mildest of mild cases but it still made us go .

Moni Things are hard and I can’t fully understand how much so, but I am glad that you’re here and to get to know you.

Celestial Augh, your second post I really feel, I'm in a similar position where my parents insist on watching the news every night during dinner, even though it's a very stressful way for me to take in world events (and I'd rather not be eating while hearing and seeing some of those things xD;). Your boundaries regarding this kind of stuff is understandable and valid, and I'm sorry the conflict there with your mom's needs and boundaries. It's a tough thing to remedy, and sometimes a rant is just what's needed in the moment, so don't feel bad whenever you need to get these things off your chest. Especially since we're all at home and have to be around the same people so often now, there's plenty of support to give when you need <3

*hugs*

Kat - Ugh, those are some of the absolute worst things to say to someone with anxiety, depression, or even just anyone not feeling good about something and trying to bring up a concern like that. They seriously do not understand mental health, and it would make me have half a mind to shove a pamphlet or book in their direction explaining stuff and what not to do, and then walk away. ...Dunno if that's actually a good option, or if maybe there's some administrative option you can take? I don't know. Just.

I'm so sorry you have to be on the other end of that. =< Your bosses can absolutely afford to be more constructive and understanding of your fear and anxiety (since that would be the way to help you and the situation out), and they're not even trying.

*Massive hugs, because you deserve it.* <3



Celestial - =| To those construction people. That is seriously not okay of them.

Liou I don't hate you, and I certainly would never talk behind your back. I think that goes for all of us here. You are a wonderful person and you do not deserve to feel this way. *hugs*

Kozma Oh gosh, that's awful. The death of a pet is not easy, far from it. My sincerest condolences to you and your family. Hang in there. *hugs for you too*

[Twillie]

Ian Wolf-Park Oh geez, that sounds terrifying, hopefully you're alright after that happening. I hope things stay safe and scare-free for you in the future, that there's not a huge risk of that happening again.

A hug for Carolyn.

Kat I don’t know what happened or who’s been telling you lies, but I personally think you’re one of the most interesting people I’ve met *hugs* You’re an awesome lawyer, an amazing creative writer with seemingly infinite ideas and inspiration, and a wonderful friend. I like learning about Philippine culture and events from you. That might be day-to-day for you, but it’s very interesting in our international community. You’re the coolest, okay? Don’t let anyone (not even yourself) tell you you’re not. We’ll be here to remind you how interesting and awesome you are!!

*hugs for Moni * I can't imagine what you're going through right now, but just know that we're all here for you and care about you.

[Celestial]

Gelquie *hugs tightly* I hope you feel better soon. Please don't worry about D&D or any responses around that. You did fantastically today. Please take care of yourself, and if there is anything I can do to help, let me know.

Hugs Celestial !

I'm sure you've accomplished a lot of things and there are still so many things you can possibly do.

You're great, okay? *squeezes cheeks*

Celestial From how you've described your situation, I definitely don't think you're wrong for feeling frustrated at the lack of respect or for your expecting to be treated like a fellow adult. I dunno how someone's supposed to learn from their mistake of condescension if the person affected can't talk to them about their actions. Having to defend yourself alone when both parents side against you is something I've had to put up with a lot in my life as well, and while I'm not sure how to fix such a thing, I know how frustrating it is feeling like you're not being listened to. I'm sorry that's something you've been put through lately, and I hope it doesn't have to stay that way for long.

[Celestial]

Liou I don't know who told you that, but they lie. If it's your brain who is saying that, it lies. You are more like the local cat: you're welcome everywhere, it's a privilege to see you around, and even more to be your friend. ^^

Carolyn - *Massive hugs* I'm so sorry for what happened to your friend. That's so heartbreaking. =< It's a small platitude, but if nothing else, here's to the good times you've had together.

And also *hugs* for how your job has been treating you; that isn't fair at all for them to put all that work on you. It sounds like they're really mismanaging things or not hiring enough people. Even if it's a thankless task, I'm sure it's good for the people you've been helping, and that is really good of you. I just wish you had more help on it.

I feel you! :o
