Remember to tell them that it's the worst pain imaginable. It's a really good mindset to go into with, no downsides.

I wrote down which vaccine I got the first shot for on a piece of paper, but I'm not at my house right now so I don't remember.

Anyways my first shot on monday didn't actually hurt.

Or getting brushed in your arse for a COVID test.

(I'm not joking. In China they started doing anal swabs to test.)

From what I've heard, it also depends on who's doing the swab. Some people are just better at it than others.

Makes sense, I have taken 3 tests, one was a self swab. How about by you? Have you been vaccinated yet?

Been tested once, because of hayfever season. Still waiting for the letter to make an appointment. I must say that I am amazed at how fast things are going in the USA.

i haven't felt okay in a very long time and I don't know how to fix that.

Like, I just feel so lonely and alone all the time and I'm always mentally exhausted and very overwhelmed. My head hurts all the time because I feel emotionally detached from almost everyone and everything and I'm not sure if I even deserve to have meaningful relationships where I love and am loved because of that detachment, but I want meaningful relationships - more friends and a boyfriend.

I feel so broken, like I've shattered into a million pieces, and I don't know how to fix myself or put myself back together.

I'm overwhelmed by everything and feel anxious all the time and lack any confidence in myself. I never go out to meet people or do things, I mean there's a pandemic on that kinda prevents that right now but even before the pandemic I never put myself out there or met new people. I have no communities I'm a part of in-person, they're all online like TET or my Twitter community or a small group of British friends I've found myself a part of somehow as an offshoot from a larger YouTuber fan community. They're all hundreds or thousands of miles away and just aren't the same, as much as I enjoy these communities.

I want to put myself out there more, I want to find new friends and new communities to grow and thrive in and new friend groups to hang out with and maybe even find a boyfriend within. I just dunno how to get there or do that. I just want to feel okay and be happy more and enjoy life and loved/be loved.

And roughly this time a year ago I tried reaching out to a local therapist's office but they never responding to me and I eventually - sooner than I'd like to admit - gave up. I know I need help but reaching out is the scariest part.

I've felt this way for years and I've wasted so much time feeling this way and I regret it. I don't want to spend the rest of my life feeling this way, I want out. I just don't know how to get better. And looking at the world around me and seeing everything that's going on and seeing things are only getting worse overall it feels impossible that anything will get better.

You are treading water and have been for a while, standing still feels like dying. it will get better for you as you start to move forward with your plans. That said until you start to move you will feel like a stuck shark gasping for breath and dying, once you start moving forward you will start to feel the fresh air again and life will be better for you. get out and hike, stick to your school goals and check off each one you accomplish, save your money for your move to the Mountain town you have talked about. Focus on the small steps that lead to your goals. Lastly try and be kind to yourself, that is the one thing RuPaul is right about, if you cant love yourself you cant love others.
