My mom had some limbs down and her backyard flooded, but that's the normal for every hurricane that hits her
I think Sour just needs to wear full body armor at all times. He hurts himself way too ofen

"My mom had some limbs down" I read that completely wrong the first time. And was very relieved.
Also, I second the full body armor statement.

I'm more scared of windstorms than I am thunderstorms, but still not 100% comfortable right now, espiecially since my anxiety has been acting up >~< Nonetheless, it's still a tad calming in a way to listen to the thunder roll by with the flashing lighting up the sky. Still a bit worried about power outages/surges, though...

You could turn off your electronics and maybe read a book or work on art while listening to it? If that would ease your worry.

Maybe....I'd just go to bed rn but that isn't much of an option for me; cause if I try to go to bed right now I'll wake up like only an hour later and be unable to sleep >.>

Ask me if you need any clarification, I may have neglected to explain something good enough. Putting this under a spoiler since it’s kinda long: My grandpa has never been my favorite grandparent. Back when I was younger, he wanted to know why I hadn’t decided to get baptized yet. He continued to bother me, and at one point cornered me about it. I finally did get baptized on my 15th birthday, but under my own will. (I’m not a fan of being put on the spot or water immersion, so I didn’t want to do it until I was ready. And besides, theologically baptism is a confession, it does not save you.)
I mention this because it was the start of my problems with him. Every time we’d visit during my childhood, he’d ask me the same questions about getting baptized over and over. I never particularly liked talking to him on the phone because of that. The reason he cared so much about it is that he’s been a deacon and part of the Gideon’s group for some time now. But other than that, our relationship wasn’t too bad, yet...
Then I decided that I wanted to go to college in the same city where he lives. I was already somewhat familiar with the area since I visited it for my whole life, and by that point, my aunt was also living here. Since it would be convenient financially and there was only minor issues we had with each other, we all agreed that I could live at my grandparents’ house while I was going to college.
But of course, that would too easy, now wouldn’t it? Before my freshman year, my grandparents decided to attach strings to their deal. I would have to get my drivers’ license, or otherwise I wouldn’t even be allowed to live there. (I had anxiety about getting one in the first place, without added pressure. And I’ve heard all about being “independent” but there was nowhere I wanted to go enough to make the process worth it.) I proceeded to get my permit in May (after failing twice), began driving in June, and getting my license in August the week before school started (also failing twice because I was so stressed out, and my first tester was a *itch.) My mom was being driven crazy by the constant calls and texts of “Did I get my license yet?”. But we didn’t think too much of this requirement because the transportation system here isn’t amazing, and it wouldn’t be too bad to be able to drive myself. It was annoying, but not awful.
But then the complaints after my behavior started (and they refuse to die). I’m too much of a picky eater, I “sneer” at them, I’m not sociable in the morning, I stay up too late etc etc. And when I tell them that I didn’t like it, then I was rude. If I was teased and didn’t do anything but stay by and let them, I had no sense of humor and I had too much of a thin skin. (I especially can’t stand being teased about getting a boyfriend, because being the kind of ace I am, having a SO is the top of my anti-bucket list.) I let my anger get the better of me with this situation early on, and I was threatened with being kicked out because of my attitude problems. Yes, I was probably was overreacting a bit, but provoking me was uncalled for.
Between that time and last winter wasn’t too bad. I finally made some good friends, and was doing well in my studies. It was, quite frankly, the happiest I had ever been in my entire life, even with the stress of college life. But it was too good to be true.
At the end of fall semester last year, the trouble started again. My step-grandma began to suggest that I would be kicked out if I didn’t get a job. It was giving me really bad anxiety, and so she decided to lay off on me until this semester.
Then the May debacle happened. My grandparents sat my parents and I down and went to town insulting me. I was apparently too worried about grades, I didn’t know how to socially interact, I had too much time on my hands. (Never mind the immense effort that it takes me to handle dealing with unknown people day in and day out). I was exhausted, and scared to death, and so dazed and angry though the whole conversation that I cut my hands with my fingernails. It was laid out then and there that I would have to get a job this semester, or else. They were tired of our “excuses” and this was now the condition.
Now they’re breathing down my neck, my grandpa refuses to realize that he’s a bully (in his own fantasy world, he’s being encouraging), and generally not acknowledging reality. I applied to a bunch of stuff last week, and it takes time to hear back from employers! It’s not like I can merrily go to the store and demand that they grant me an interview or anything. Today, my grandpa was shoving a job in my face that I know would be too draining for me (and I’m not sure if I’m qualified for it anyway). I tried to tell him that, but I got accused of not applying myself and such. After that whole conversation today, I probably spent an half hour sobbing because I’m at my wit’s end. I’m tired of being treated like crap for no good reason. And quite frankly, no one deserves to treated like love is always conditional. My grandpa is the most unchristian Christian I have ever met, and he’s completely blind to the truth.

I finally got health insurance after moving!
It's been..... very stressfull knowing I need to get health insurance and having my mom constantly remind me (and offer help which is very nice) and seeing most of my options being $200/month payments........
but I found a good plan for $0 a month and it includes dental (which the more expensive ones didn't even include)..... thank you medicaid -_-
Why does USA have to make everyone buy health insurance? I'd rather pay higher taxes for universal health insurance....
