mega thread How are you feeling?

[DesuPony 40]

At this point I've suffered so much loss and so much mental health issues nothing matters to me anymore. It's like in the end I almost got what I wanted but I lost the most important people in my life to get there. So I'm  just gonna question my life until my inevitable passing

[Verdant Shy 950]

Concerned about myself, as I got a second 5 (this time it's for Slovak Language, a subject we have at school), and possibly another 5 from Materials. (For not taking workbook to my school). And I average 3 on some other subjects. (previously, I averaged 2). Btw, I was listening to music with my headphones on full day everyday and I was basically late to every lesson. (So decided to not brought headphones to my school today). I'm concerned that ever since I started watching My Little Pony, my grades got worse and I'm focusing on the franchise bit too much and that it's distracting me from more important stuff. (Note: I also have ADHD and Autism).

Please help me, I don't want to quit the fandom and I don't want to stop watching MLP, but at the same time, I don't want to be a bad grader, have bad name, my parents hating and punishing me and my teachers saying something like: "He used to be a very clever student, but ever since he got into ponies, it went downhill for him and he lost touch with reality and is now spending his life by only watching ponies. He used to be normal, but now he got lazy."

Slovak grades approximately:

1 = A

2 = B

3 = C

4 = D

5 = E, F

Oh, that's sad. I know I can't be much help, but have you tried like, giving only some specific time to ponies? Like maybe just give ponies only one hour of your day. Maybe give specific number of hours to stuff you do usually. You don't have to do them at the same time everyday (personal experience: it's pretty boring), but give some specific time to them. Like give three hours to study, two for sports and stuff, like that. We have this one teacher, who gave us the idea, so it's not entirely my own idea.

How did you know what's going on with me? I have the exact same situation!

 

I wish I could help you more, but if you wanna talk, I'm always here.

Wow wish I could hug everypony feeling sad right now.

Me I'm OK, toes are healing up well now, if taking their sweet time about it (the left is about a week behind the right, a new dressing was put on today which I'm told to leave on for 2 days); interestingly, being incapacitated like this (I can only shlep about at home in oversized slippers, still can't walk outside or drive yet) I am fantasizing about going for long walks over the fields and paths near here where I live ... I'm getting unfit due to the inactivity (not that I was ever that fit) but still I could do with the exercise! Frustrating.....

EDIT: Thank you @Sun Dash Note @Rainboomer Zap @Treeglow Flicker

Appendix — where you have no nails where you've always had toenails before, and now just skin, and with a new sense of touch for the first time in their lives, it's a really freaky feeling .....

Still struggling to get used to it.

Bored. School sucks and I got bad grades.

[Splashee 28,563]

Feeling accomplished after 4 hours of programming work. Got 12.5 % done (after 6 days of horror), but it is a visual success at least

I'm feeling pretty nice today. I reassured myself that I'm not ugly, and made myself all pretty (which was by the way, just some lip balm and a cat ears hairband). I even took a picture of myself and posted it to my Snapchat story!  I guess, when I think of it, all I needed to do was to believe in what makes me pretty, not what society thinks makes me pretty.

Current thought/feeling: Cold, cold go away! Leave my Bestie alone, okay? 

[Splashee 28,563]

And I am feeling 14,100

[Old Accnt. 3,149]

I'm feeling way better than yesterday thanks to some amazing friends thanks guys *hug*

[Ice Princess Silky <3 13,777]

Feeling very confused and conflicted about something I want and not hurting the feelings of someone who -- out of nowhere all of a sudden -- wants that exact same thing despite showing 0 to -500 interest for many years :v 

Hngggh... *looks at her moral compass in utter confusion*

To care for myself or care for a friend who suddenly and most conveniently shifted at an odd timing?

Any conversation you could've had with this person?  

[twilightlicious69 629]

No matter how much you try, your parents will never be satisfied with your marks. :crie: 

[Clawdeen 12,191]

Indeed, I have. And they even mocked me for wanting it all the times that I did, claiming it was pathetic, they had it once and it had no value.

Suddenly, I'm at the point of having it -- after years of hard work, mind you, my eyes light up with happiness at almost achieving it and now it's a HUGE tantrum they're throwing. About how they also want it, too.....

It's challenging for me, you see. Because I am not one to enable such childish behavior. Especially towards a fully grown adult who should know better. But at the same time, I can't stand to see them hurt. I am at a conflict right now... I just want to be happy... but not at the cost of another being....

[Treeglow Flicker 13,621]

A lot better than I was earlier. A couple of hours a go I was internally livid to the point of wanting to fire an Elements of Harmony powered rainbow laser at my brother. Still kind of want to if I'm being honest.

[Savy 5,077]

Feeling a lot better, my cold is pretty much gone now.
