I forgot to update here, but GREAT NEWS! My mom got back from the hospital with her friend earlier and our dog didn’t bite her!!! She jumped up on her when she got scared and her tooth got caught on her shirt, so when she pulled away it scratched her. The doctors said if it were a bite there would be puncture wounds on both sides of her arm and there were none :D I get to keep my dog!!! 1 MultiQuote Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm so happy to hear that you can keep your dog. Dogs (and other pets of course, too) often become part of our family and it can heart braking if we have to say goodbye to them. I can understand why you were really afraid of what might happen. Your dog is so adorable. She looks like a really friendly, kind dog. 1 MultiQuote Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I needed to go for something else anyways so I’ll just kinda mention it to the doctor then.

I said I have a lot to think about pertaining to my perspectives on what’s causing these issues. I need to be better about separating the situation subjectively rather than just assuming everyone feels the same way about me as I do about myself if that makes sense. Yeah he’s amazing. We’re very lucky to have him around. I think we just get along really well when we’re out and about. I think it might be a work/home balance thing and we’re all working all of the time so people are snippier with each other. I don’t think my approach works very well, but I’d rather have people who don’t listen to me and I’m not in the wrong rather than having people listen out of fear like my dad did, y’know? The problem is that my sister doesn’t care if I feel alone, she just says I’m dramatic. It makes her very hard to be around, because she just is a very self-serving person, even when we’re not arguing. I don’t know why she behaves this way but she does. I haven’t had an effective calm conversation about something important. Ironically the one time we did stay calm was when my mom broke the news to us that she and our dad were divorcing. I think it was calm because of the shock of what was happening. When it comes to important issues, if I’m calm, I’m not heard. Then I get overwhelmed and angry. If I’m angry, I cry, then I just get in trouble because “nothing happened to me” and I need to “stop the drama”. Then it gets to the point where I get so upset by myself that I wind up yelling at my mom and just feeling worse overall because I yelled in the first place and I just cry more. I hate being upset. nowadays that doesn’t really happen like that. I just get angry at myself more than anything and then I sit by myself until I feel better. That makes complete sense. And I think that can be a really helpful thing to do. We often assume that other's will either see us the same way that we do or think about things the same way we do and this can often lead to misunderstandings. It's great that you are aware of this and that that's something you're trying to understand better. From everything you've told me, I'm wondering if it would make sense to speak to your family about the communication problems you've noticed. Maybe you could call a family meeting and tell them that you've noticed that everyone is working a lot and as a consequence people are snippier with each other, as everyone is feeling a bit stressed. And that it would be nice to think about how you can communicate better as a family and come up with ways on how you can support each other. Do you think that might work? If so, then I would suggest that you pick a time, where everyone feels a bit more relaxed and no one is upset or hungry (I'm always surprised by how hunger can affect our mood). What do you think?

No, unfortunately they were having trouble with the mental health screening questionaire stuff, so only my little sister got to do it and my mom seemed distressed enough just talking about my sister’s mental health situation. my sister says my mom said we can talk to her about anything and that she’d prefer to know before a doctor, but I still have my reservations because of past experiences.. I’m thinking about talking to her when the time is right. MultiQuote Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm wondering, do you think she'd be open to maybe hearing how those experiences were for you so that she can then learn to do things differently? Also, I'm sorry to hear you're having a high anxiety morning. I'm wondering, would you like to tell me more about that anxiety if you feel comfortable?

It went PHENOMENALLY!!! and I made it through with only one panic attack! :D the kids all did great and I’m super proud of myself and my sisters! There were several issues (the people supposed to open the building we were using no-showed us and we had to relocate last minute, start and hour later than anticipated, and switch from lappelle mics to handhelds bc of tech difficulties) but despite it all everyone performed wonderfully. im a little sad my friends didn’t show up though. One said she couldn’t make it ahead of time, one said she’s ask her parents if she could go but never got back to me and one said he could go and that he’d be there but also no-showed me without warning :( anyways I’m proud of myself and I’m heading to the beach to get some well deserved rest ^-^ MultiQuote Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
