I go to an international school so there are kids from all around the world that go back to their families/passport countries for the summer and then come back to where the school is located in the fall and board there during the school year - we're both headed to our homes this summer so it'll be nice to catch up with old friends and family

Oh my gosh! That is super cool! It seems a little bit like college, where you are living there! Is it hard staying away from your family? It must be really exciting to go back to see them!

My parents are actually staff at the school, so I live with them here but I haven't been to my passport/home country in over a year so I'll get to see my extended family (grandparents and aunts) and my best friend for the first time in a long time! I'll be flying internationally by myself for the first time to get there and I'm a little nervous but I've flown the route I'm taking before so I'm not too nervous about it!

Wait that is even better! So you got the run o the place practically! That will be nice to go back to your home country though! Best luck with flying! I've never gone alone myself, but people do it all the time and I'm sure it will be fine:D

Haha, basically! It'll be great to reconnect with people I haven't seen in a while! Thanks! Have you ever visited a country outside the one on your passport?

I would imagine! And nope! I haven't, sadly! I want to travel so much but we don't really have the money or time to do so I live in the states and I've only really traveled in the states near me

lol Deamon you liked your own post
Bleak; do you have anyone that you can ask who has taken the lab before? Or anyone who might have a better idea of what it is about that way you can try and focus on more of what is going to be on it? Hopefully it goes well for you! No type of test is ever fun D:

This is a safe space. Especially for my LGBTQA+ friends. No arguments will be held here about the validity of anyones sexuality and if there are then you will be asked to leave the thread and reported.
You can come here to vent, but venting is NOT calling out anyone or starting a fight.
Just be kind to each other. That is all I ask. you be kind and treat each other with respect.

This seems helpful, but aren't you guys worried that you'll eventually get compassion fatigue? I mean, if you're commenting on people's issues and giving advice and all...

This seems helpful, but aren't you guys worried that you'll eventually get compassion fatigue? I mean, if you're commenting on people's issues and giving advice and all... That's why there's two of us (and of course anyone on the thread that has advice they want to offer). We tend to inadvertently switch off on helping others with their thoughts and experiences. We also tend to have strengths in which issues are affecting others. If i feel like Pic is more likely to offer better advice then I direct them to her to let her respond, if I feel I can help then I will. If I ever feel overwhelmed then I take a quick break, it also helps me think about how I can help people if I take a breath and allow myself to think about it.

-helpful bump- I'm happy this was bumped up. Happy news: I got a kitten Stressful news: Gotta find someone who can get him signed as an ESA because the counselor whom I've been going to for almost a year now can't do it because although she s certified I've been seeing her through the school and my school doesn't let the therapists sign them. And, like, I need the actual papers before my landlords find out I have him plus I've realized he's really helped with my anxiety and (oddly enough) my focus. Irritating news: The allies on campus say on their website that LGBTQA stands for Lesbian, Gay, Bi,Trans, Queer and Allies. And I know some people think it is but it still bugs me asa someone who's Ace that is stated like that. Like even if its noted that the A stands for multiple things I'd be fine with that since it also stands for Aro and Agender too from what I've heard. But I know the person who's in charge so I might go and talk to her and see whats up with that. Hi!! It's been so long! Aww! Little kittens are so great<3 What did you name him? That does sound quite stressful! Best luck with it all! Hopefully everything can get worked out quickly! That's annoying that your therapist can't sign the papers herself! I'm glad that the kitten has helped you though! Little cuties like that have a way about them that just seems to make things a little more bearable! I can definetly see how that can be irritating! I would def see the person in charge- good that you know her too! I'm sure that she will be understanding! I hope that it can get fixed!

Help i had 39 hours for work last week and I wanted to die. I only have like 30 this week but i'm super tired and not feeling very well mood wise. I"m just so sick of working for Starbucks, I've been doing it for almost 3 years at this point and I really thing the late nights and unsteady work schedule is what's really been affecting my depression during that time.

That sounds crazy! At least this week it isn't as much but when you are so tired it doesn't matter how many hours, you just want to be out of there! The unsteady work schedule thing definitely does not help with anything o: When was the last time you took a vacation? Even if you can't leave starbucks atm, a vacation is always a nice break! Is there any way that you can leave Starbucks and find something else?

I'm taking a vacation at the end of the month. We are going up to Washington to see a concert and meet Sour! But Roses work is giving her a hard time bc she just had to fly out to Connecticut a couple weeks ago bc her grandfather passed away and it was really impromptu. We are also going to Orlando Florida in December with my family but her new manager says and I quote "I know you all want to go see your families but, you work and retail and people need their coffee" and I'm super angry about that. But Rose already got her plane ticket bc her old manager already approved for the time off and it's just stressing me out bc we never take vacations or ask for time off and the two trips(3 for her bc of the funeral) are just causing so much drama at her work and idk how to deal with it :/

Also there's a bunch of stuff going on at MY work with this one coworker that used to be super chill but lately she's done nothing but snap at us and be super stressed at work and like I wanna help her but she's a shift supervisor and her snapping has already caused me to have a panic attack at work two weeks ago and her directly snapping at me has caused me to cry and just I don't deserve to be treated this way. She's also supposed to be training my other coworker on how to be a shift but is doing a really really bad job of it and talking about her behind her back and not showing her how to do things and I'm very angry at her for that bc my coworker deserves to be taught properly and neither of us deserve to be treated like her punching bag and I'm worried that the next time I work with her I'm going to go off on her.
Like I care that she's going through a tough time, as a person and someone whos her friend. But as a coworker she needs to find a different way to handle her stress a work and not treat me as a therapist or a punching bag. Like I have my own problems and the other co-worker has her own problems and it's really not fair that we have to deal with all this bc of her and it's brought both of us to tears and I'm very very angry. And I've already talked to my store manager about her attitude but I need to talk to her again about the more recent stuff bc she's just been getting worse.

That's super crummy about your coworker :/ It seems really wrong and unprofessional of her to just shove all her problems on you like that. Is there anyone higher up who you could possibly bring the issue to, like a manager? She might need to look into getting actual professional help/counselling if things continue to stay bad or get worse for her.

I've already talked to the store manager but that was before she got worse and much meaner so I'm going to talk to her today about it bc at this point I don't even want to be around the girl. Before I talked to my store manager about how we could help my coworker handle her stress in a better way and she's very.... Sensitive when it comes to criticism and I didn't want to cause her more stress but now I couldn't care less about her feelings bc she doesn't care about mine and my other co-workers feelings and I just want her to stop and chill out so I don't have to feel like I'm walking in eggshells around her

That seems like a good plan. It's definitely not fair of her to just dump all her stress on everyone else. That's just spreading a problem, not fixing it. I hope you and your manager are able to work something out soon <3 Work life and stress combined are never good.
