Watching Gargoyles on one of those sleazy "watch stuff free online" sites because no one else has it. The stupid vids can't be fast forwarded though, so now that  it fucked up in the middle of a vid have to rewatch the entire first half.

Alright I've been thinking about this for a while. Like, months and this is the first time I've said anything about it.

So. I have a friend, and we're really close. I'm worried about her because she has had some terrible things done to her and I've seen first hand what that kind of thing can do to someone. I'm really worried about her because I haven't seen her or talked to her in about a week and normally she's always talking. It might be that she broke her foot and is resting, but I'm still worried that is might be something more...permanent. If that makes any sense. I'm probably just worrying too much but I'd rather look dumb for worrying too much than be right.

Obvious solution: Check on her to be sure she's alright.

There are two problems with that: 1) I have no idea where she lives and I'm not going around town asking, and 2) her parents think we're dating or something because she was feeling sad and I put my arm around her to make her feel better, and they understandably no longer trust guys around their daughter. Otherwise I'd walk to wherever she lives and check on her.

i cant even think what to put in these posts anymore. theres no real point to me anymore i guess. it doesnt seem to matter how hard i try, it all just gets wiped away, and then i start over. that's even my plans for after highschool; move to whatever college sounds good, go to college, and live my life day by day from there. even that doesn't sound all that interesting anymore. i guess i need to do something with myself but i dont know what. i mean. im in love with a girl that will never love me back. my bestfriend dissappeared off the face of the earth. my parents are at each others and my throats 24/7. my brother has epillepsy and is going on a week long campout starting sunday and i cant even be bothered to worry about that anymore. i cant even see a point in getting off my ass and getting something to eat or drink anymore. let alone actually doing something. i think ill just stay in be all day tomorrow. then i wont have to deal with any of the shit. but then ill get yelled at for being lazy again. and then i wont be working towards my unrealistic goal of 1500 dollars for a computer. plus a monitor and keyboard and hopefully a new mouse because my old one is dying. oh and i need a new pair of head phones. im just so fucking done with all this shit. can i just be left well enough alone for one fucking day, or am i needed every time the smallest decision comes up. i just realized ive set a new goal for myself almost everyday for a week now because i know on some level the last one will never get done so i tell myself itll get done this time but im lying to myself arent i. honestly the only reason i havent done something extreme and permanent is because i couldnt live with myself (heh...) knowing what that would do to people. i guess i could take the airsoft gun thats coming in the mail monday, a backpack of food with my laptop and stuff in it, and the 350 some dollars i have and run away if i want to. i wont. i cant even work up the energy to bother getting the stuff together let alone going through with it. im going to go stare at the wall for a few more hours until im tired enough that i wont remember my nightmares.

Try what? If raw effort into a goal isn't enough, take a step back and reconsider what your goal is and what you could to differently to get around everything being apparently wiped away.
that's even my plans for after highschool; move to whatever college sounds good, go to college, and live my life day by day from there. even that doesn't sound all that interesting anymore. i guess i need to do something with myself but i dont know what.
You aren't done with highschool, so I'm naturally assuming you're not an adult. When you hit 18 and go to college, you're an adult, and you can do whatever you want to make your life interesting. If you want to do something and don't know what to do, then try things until you find some things you like to do.
i mean. im in love with a girl that will never love me back. my bestfriend dissappeared off the face of the earth. my parents are at each others and my throats 24/7. my brother has epillepsy and is going on a week long campout starting sunday and i cant even be bothered to worry about that anymore.
1. Right, uh, if you're certain that your feelings won't be reciprocated, then find someone else. About true love and all, if you do believe in that, it isn't them, and if you don't, then there's no reason not to move on from someone who doesn't like you in that way. There are countless people out there, odds are that you're going to connect with at the very least one of them.
2. Maybe their phone broke, maybe they're grounded, maybe they're on a trip, maybe they're busy with something, maybe they're sick, there are way more mundane explanations that I can tick off.
3. If you're almost done with highschool, look back at the years and realize how much time you've been able to put up with family drama versus how much time left until you won't have to.
4. If you're going with him, then odds are he's going to be fine. If you aren't, then odds are that whoever is with him knows about his condition and will accommodate/watch him.
i cant even see a point in getting off my ass and getting something to eat or drink anymore. let alone actually doing something. i think ill just stay in be all day tomorrow. then i wont have to deal with any of the shit. but then ill get yelled at for being lazy again. and then i wont be working towards my unrealistic goal of 1500 dollars for a computer. plus a monitor and keyboard and hopefully a new mouse because my old one is dying. oh and i need a new pair of head phones.
If you don't want to do anything drastic, I don't quite think we've advanced enough that eating and drinking isn't required to live :P. It's not healthy to just sit around in your bed, and if you get yelled at anyway, refer to point 3 above! If it isn't physically impossible to work towards, then your goal isn't unrealistic. When you save the money you get, it adds up extremely quickly. Work towards it, and you'll accomplish it.
im just so fucking done with all this shit. can i just be left well enough alone for one fucking day, or am i needed every time the smallest decision comes up. i just realized ive set a new goal for myself almost everyday for a week now because i know on some level the last one will never get done so i tell myself itll get done this time but im lying to myself arent i. honestly the only reason i havent done something extreme and permanent is because i couldnt live with myself (heh...) knowing what that would do to people.
1. Point three.
2. Push yourself to arise and accomplish your goals. Walk, eat, think, act, etc, and when you accomplish the first goal, that feeling of accomplishment, that inspiration you'll feel when you realize that your self deprecative expectations were false and you in fact are capable of accomplishing what goals you create will empower you to do it again, gaining what you want through your own ability.
3. Point three, again. Also, there's literally nobody here who isn't rooting for you, who isn't willing to support you. If someone doesn't offer to be a confidant for you to vent about more specific things (which I doubt, since there are many people here willing to offer that), then I'll suggest some people myself. Look up, idolize what you have, what's positive in all of the negativity you're wading through. And if you can't, when you head to college, go out and create more reasons for you not to harm yourself!
i guess i could take the airsoft gun thats coming in the mail monday, a backpack of food with my laptop and stuff in it, and the 350 some dollars i have and run away if i want to. i wont. i cant even work up the energy to bother getting the stuff together let alone going through with it. im going to go stare at the wall for a few more hours until im tired enough that i wont remember my nightmares.
Even though things aren't good in your current situation, you're going to have to have some grit and bear with it (which you're perfectly capable of doing), since the stability of having a home and financial support and the like are something you need. You can't rebuild or remake your life with a pack of food, an airsoft gun, a laptop, and 350 dollars. Exploit the opportunity you have at home despite the negativity, and when you can, use it completely to bring yourself to a better situation. Instead of staring at a wall to dull your memory, you could psych yourself up and do what I suggest, but I can't force you to. Take your own time on it, but remember what I've said.

I hope things start to look up for you.

i'm not staring at the wall to dull my memory. i'd bang my head on it if i wanted that. i'm keeping myself awake until i'm exhausted so that there's no chance i'll remember the dreams when i wake up. because the dreams stretch too far back. i'm not supposed to be sad about him anymore. i mean, seriously. what right do i have to be sad? i was just a little kid who couldn't understand what was going on. i wasn't his son. i barely remember anything besides his name, his favorite song, and the fact that he was a veteran. so why should i be sad? it's been 7 or 8 years and 2 or 3 therapists since then; i should have been able to forget him by now, right? that's what they tell me. i don't even care if they're wrong anymore. they're just another set of people to put on the list of 'people-that-will-feel-hurt-when-i-leave'.

about the 'i'm in love with a girl that won't love me back' thing. if i told anyone here about that they'd tell me 'stop being pessimistic' and threaten me with another therapist. what they don't seem to realize is who i'm talking about; i broke her trust and her heart. she has every reason to hate me just as much as i do for doing that, if not more. trust me, i've tried to let go. it's been 4 months on the dot as of tuesday since we broke up. i just...can't i guess. because i'm a selfish fuck who doesn't want to let go of anyone or anything. i think at this point i'd take forgetting most of it than remembering every little detail and beating myself up over what i did and didn't do. maybe that would save me some trouble. but, hey. you can't break my heart if it's a pile of dust. i guess. i don't fucking know anymore.

i'm not going to run away. i'm smart enough to know that my lifeline is my parents, at least until i get a car. then i can mostly take care of myself. maybe. i hope i can, because i'll probably be living off of water bottles and ramen noodles for a while at somepoint after highschool. but i'm not an adult so i wouldn't understand what it's like to take care of myself. it's not like i've raised my little brother since i was 5 or anything. totally wouldn't understand anything about how to take care of myself and another person. and i know what i want to do. it's just that what i want to do is very likely to be a total bust, leaving me poor and without any way to get out of whatever hole i happen to be in.

my brother should be fine and i know that, but that doesn't mean i'm not unreasonably worried about him. i don't exactly trust these people with my life, let alone the life of someone i'd willingly give up mine for.

'the family drama' makes it sound calmer than it is. what i mean by 'at each others throats' is threatening all sorts of things, accusations of assault and various other things, my mother fudging the books to the extreme, my dad bringing home 100 bucks a week, and i'm in the middle because i'm the oldest and the oldest knows everything about the youngest. i'm not even going to start in on anything past my immediate family, because the rest is just a big pissing contest for everyone inv olved.

trust me. if things started looking up, and if i could actually convince people to shut up and listen to what i'm thinking, i'd be the happiest person alive. but things are looking down and i'm only talked to when the thirty-five and forty-one year old children called my parents can't figure things out by throwing tempur tantrums.

I'm just a kid too, this is something serious I can't comprehend. I can offer my condolences at most.
about the 'i'm in love with a girl that won't love me back' thing. if i told anyone here about that they'd tell me 'stop being pessimistic' and threaten me with another therapist. what they don't seem to realize is who i'm talking about; i broke her trust and her heart. she has every reason to hate me just as much as i do for doing that, if not more. trust me, i've tried to let go. it's been 4 months on the dot as of tuesday since we broke up. i just...can't i guess. because i'm a selfish fuck who doesn't want to let go of anyone or anything. i think at this point i'd take forgetting most of it than remembering every little detail and beating myself up over what i did and didn't do. maybe that would save me some trouble. but, hey. you can't break my heart if it's a pile of dust. i guess. i don't fucking know anymore.
Therapists are meant to help you if you confide into them, nobody should be threatening you with one, and that's completely awful to hear. About the girl, if you've done something wrong, guilt is natural. My choice personally would be to atone for it, ask for forgiveness, but other people will have other suggestions, and as for you, you should do what you think is right. You aren't being selfish for not letting go of a memorable event from the past. And I can see the point behind the "heart-being-a-pile-of-dust" comment, but know that it's not a healthy line of thought, and you should work to discard it.
i'm not going to run away. i'm smart enough to know that my lifeline is my parents, at least until i get a car. then i can mostly take care of myself. maybe. i hope i can, because i'll probably be living off of water bottles and ramen noodles for a while at somepoint after highschool. but i'm not an adult so i wouldn't understand what it's like to take care of myself. it's not like i've raised my little brother since i was 5 or anything. totally wouldn't understand anything about how to take care of myself and another person. and i know what i want to do. it's just that what i want to do is very likely to be a total bust, leaving me poor and without any way to get out of whatever hole i happen to be in.
My tone wasn't meant to be condescending or chastising. If you know that your parents are your lifeline and how to take care of yourself and others, excellent. If what you want to do isn't exactly stable, you can just do something else on the side as a sort of safety net if things don't work out.
my brother should be fine and i know that, but that doesn't mean i'm not unreasonably worried about him. i don't exactly trust these people with my life, let alone the life of someone i'd willingly give up mine for.
He's your brother, your worry isn't unreasonable. The risk of anything happening to him is extremely unlikely. It's okay to be worried about him considering the circumstances, but I suggest you calm down a bit about that.
'the family drama' makes it sound calmer than it is. what i mean by 'at each others throats' is threatening all sorts of things, accusations of assault and various other things, my mother fudging the books to the extreme, my dad bringing home 100 bucks a week, and i'm in the middle because i'm the oldest and the oldest knows everything about the youngest. i'm not even going to start in on anything past my immediate family, because the rest is just a big pissing contest for everyone inv olved.
Sort of what I expected. If you can't do anything to stabilize or change things, then just push through it like you have, like we know you can, until you can get out of that situation. I empathize with you. Conflict like that is awful to go see.
trust me. if things started looking up, and if i could actually convince people to shut up and listen to what i'm thinking, i'd be the happiest person alive. but things are looking down and i'm only talked to when the thirty-five and forty-one year old children called my parents can't figure things out by throwing tempur tantrums.
Just because things look down doesn't mean they are. As I said, you're almost done dealing with the brunt of all of this. You'll have the freedom to change things. You also appear to be a person who truly cares about their siblings, which is extremely admirable, and I'd naturally assume that you want to protect them from the conflict in your family too. Point three from the previous post applies, but you'd know more about them and the situation, and I trust you to be able to help them accordingly.

Things look tough, but they won't be like this for long, please trust me on this.

Even if you feel powerless, you need to take steps to cure yourself of the idea that you're a passive player in your own life. You can make choices and change things, even if they're little things. One step at a time. Excelsior, and all that.
