Sort of self-explanatory title right there. You've been warned.
I'm just super sick of everything. School especially. I just can't deal with all the stress, and it's affecting me non-stop in every possible way. I get it, everyone has to deal with school, okay? But I feel like I've got a right to express that anyway. It's already hit the point where during the school week I'm exhausted (in a lot of ways) and then the weekend should be a wonderful break, right? Nope, not really, because on Saturday I'm already thinking about Monday and homework and presentations and you can just forget about Sunday; it might as well not exist. All I do is freak out about school and homework and everything else related to those things. I love art and writing and reading, but I get left with no motivation for those things because of everything else I described. And then the forums. The old forums were my safe place. I loved them, I loved the community, etc. But here, most of my friends didn't join, left, or are barely active. I've got no one to talk to most of the time, when this used to be the place I'd come to because I felt safe sharing my problems and feelings and I knew that at least a few people would always be there for me. I really trusted a few people, and now I barely see them anymore, if at all. I want to be someone who can perfectly adjust to school and still be me, but it's like I don't exist. I can't do what I love, so how am I ME? And I'm taking out my stress and anger on my family members because I just hold everything in until I boil over. I want to make some decisions about my life but I guess that's not an option. It's just this crazy, out of control cycle.
And then this probably sounds stupid, but Halloween is bugging me too. I don't even have a costume. Halloween is one of my favorite holidays, and I'll either have no costume or one that sucks, and I hate both options, but when do I have the time to make a costume like I normally do? And no one I know where I live is going trick-or-treating; half of the people I know seem to think they're too old or shouldn't wear a costume. I don't have a lot of friends, so it's not like I have options. What am I supposed to do?
I just don't know what to do about anything.

I would recommend taking a "mental health day" out of school, a day to just kind of have a break. Or you could do your weekend homework on one day and have the other day to destress. If you feel like that wouldn't help, you could try talking to your teachers. If you're having trouble with the material, they would probably be happy to help. Or you could just let them know you're stressed, and they could make some suggestions. One thing I find helpful is to avoid doing homework or studying right before you go to bed. I always like to give myself time to relax and focus on things other than school. It helps decrease my stress. As for the forums, I guess I would recommend reaching out to more people. I know this is easier said than done, but reaching out is usually rewarding. If you can't find a Halloween costume, maybe you could mix and match stuff you already have to make something new and interesting? If you want someone to talk to, you're more than welcome to talk to me

Sadly, my school isn't particularly accepting of absences, especially for something like a mental health day. I am trying to do that for the weekend but... I find it hard to stop worrying sometimes. Hopefully I'll figure it out.
Sometimes reaching out more can be hard. People seem less inclined to just click random stuff here, haha... And I've usually got very limited time to come on here and make new friends.
Maybe, but I haven't really for anything that interesting :'P
Thank you (:
