Random Thoughts/Things?
I wasn’t really sure what to call this thread, but I’ve had this idea floating around in my head for awhile now. Basically, anyone can post anything here. Any random thought you have, any random thing that happens to you, any random question that pops into your mind. Have fun, and don’t be afraid to be random.

(i have a feeling the admins won't post this but um,, i need help so... going to post this anyways)
my best friend is
um
NOT doing well
like
her mental health is in such a state that she was almost crying (for context i haven't seen her cry once during the year & a half we've been friends) while she told me & her sister & my sister abt her situation. she said that this whole week she's been feeling left out bc i've been hanging out w/ her sister but i'm actually scared bc her behavior. i made her talk to me if she felt really bad but oh my gosh it's my fault she was sending me so many signals- she told me that listening to music means she feels terrible and at a recent sleepover she was listening to music in the corner and I DIDNT NOTICE. we have a thing- i ask her if she's tired or tired-tired and if she says tired-tired it means she feels super bad and depressed and anxious and at the same sleepover i asked her if she was tired and she said "tired but not" which meant tired-tired and i just brushed it off and didnt notice again.
i feel so bad bc its my fault she feels this bad and this is just adding proof to my 'stop being friends with everyone and hide in my room' plan because when i'm being social and hanging out with people i always say the wrong things and mess up and just
*cries*
dreamiing, I edited your piece a little just because we have some things we can't mention on the CB, but I tried to preserve as much as I could. --admin

oh lord, dreamii. I am so sorry she (and you) have to go through that.
My advice is get an adult. I know that she might not want to do that, but if I'm reading between the lines correctly, this is serious enough that she needs it.
However, I want to makes sure you know it isn't your fault.
Yeah, maybe you could've noticed earlier, yeah, maybe you shouldn't have brushed it off, but hindsight is 20/20.
My best friend's parents are...
not the best. They aren't abusive or mean to her, but it's just like they don't care. I wrote a whole rant poem if you want to read it, but if you don't, I'm not going to trouble you with it here.
I rant about them to everyone but her because she doesn't even realize she deserves more or that they're literally not doing their job as her parents.
My mom likes to remind me that she's not my responsibility. I beg to differ, but I do get her point. I am not her parent. I'm her friend. It's not my job to take care of her, but it's my job to be there for her and help her out.
The same goes for you. You are not your best friend's parent. You don't have to feel like it's your job to make sure that she's 100% okay all the time.
If you weren't there for her once, be there for her next time. In second grade, my friend was diagnosed with anxiety disorder. eight year old me just didn't get it, sometimes I would literally just tell her "stop worrying". and looking back, I feel terrible about that. That was a horrible thing for me to do as her friend.
But there's honestly not much I can do about it now except apologize (which I have).
I'm so glad that she had/has competent parents. (They're honestly some of the best people I've ever met.) She still takes meds but her situation is much better, and she just finished a therapy program that really helped.
I know this is annoying for me to say but I guess I'm just saying talk to an adult who can handle it. If your best friend has competent parents, that makes things easier- maybe ask your friend to talk to her parents about it, or you could go with her and do it together.
Or you could talk to your parents about it and ask them to talk to her parents about it. If I'm reading between the lines correctly, the situation definitely serious enough for another kid's parents to get involved.
*hugs* I'm so sorry you're dealing with this. I wish I could write something else but it would be censored due to its un-CB-Appropriate-ness, so... just know I'm here for you <33
(August 16, 2021 - 1:29 pm)
Oh nooo. I'm so sorry dreamii! I don't know what the situation is like, exactly, but I would guess whatever it is she's going through is not. your. fault. You're human, and you can only do so much for her as a friend. It speaks volumes that you're worried about her and trying to get help. If you don't feel comfortable with the situation, maybe try to have another friend in on it and/or tell an adult you trust what's going on? It sounds like she's been dealing with a lot, and she's very lucky to have a friend like you. Don't blame yourself. <3

What everyone else said. Also, I get that it can feel pretty awful when you feel like you should have seen the signs, but didn't. It's rough. It's ultimately not all your responsibility and fault to shoulder, though.
*pats back*
Stay strong, mate.

My. Gosh. (Note: The following vent is long and does not make much sense at all. You should be warned that it will waste your time reading it. And Admins, I apologize in advance that you have to read this)
Okay, so I just got my schedule for school today and...*Mind Explodes* GAH it is so complicated! I'm like, is this what normal middle school schedules look like and I just missed out last year or what? It is different EVERYDAY! Like, whos idea was it? And who decided to sit the two students with the same name RIGHT NEXT TO EACH OTHER (It's not me, but it is my friend L)? I mean, that doesn't make sense! And I have a bottom locker. And I am tall. And in 5th grade when I had a top locker I banged the guy beneath me's head three different times and now I don't even KNOW the kid above me. As a matter of fact, all of the lockers relatively near me are for kids in other grades. Then, my school decided to TOTALLY change things up and start doing electives along with two math levels for 7th (my grade) and therefor spliting up the class for math AND science. Okay, the last part isn't to bad. My class is LOUD. But one of my best friends is in pregular math, so that isn't to great. My two closest friends sit on the other end of the room, and we have a new music, art, AND P.E teacher. Seats are now 3 feet apart. A (as in the friend) is probably a whole head taller than me now. Okay, actually, two are that tall. I forgot about 6-foot (N), who is probably actually is 6 feet tall. Two more new kids too! One who's address is in Minnisota (the school is in NC, so...). And yes, I know his address because I am supremely nosy and know all of my classmates addresses, including the new kids. I saw four of my classmates, and succeeded in talking to two. Yay me! Now you just have to talk to the total of 8 new people who joined in 2020 and 2021. And why the heck are they making me take some leadership class? Who are we leading? The 6th graders? Why would they need leading? And drama class. Oh, I bet my class is good at that one. *sigh*
What a meet the teachers day.
School starts tomorrow. :P
Oh, and I probably won't be as active when school starts. We aren't allowed to use devices in the school exept for the regestered computers (in which there is no CB). So I will try to come on in the late afternoons, but I really don't know what to expect. So, yeah. Wish me luck!

First day of tennis is over, and my feet are incredibly sore. I'm fairly sure I'll make the team, but I don't know, because there's still a whole week of tryouts ahead XD

I just told a knock knock joke to my friend right as she sent a very sad message about a breakup this is the worst timing of my life.
(August 17, 2021 - 9:52 am)
I love reading books that make my heart ache.
(August 17, 2021 - 9:56 am)
Yeah, sometimes it an be quite interesting. Perhaps cathartic would be a better term?
(August 18, 2021 - 1:25 am)
Yes, and no. Beauty can make your heart ache too, not just sadness. Cathartic doesn't feel right.
