no matter what you are going through, no matter what your partner is going through, you should never make them feel like their problems are trivial. life is not a competition about who has it worse. no matter what it is, we are supposed to be supportive of each other and express our love. physical affection never hurts either. a thank you and an “i love you” go a long way. after all, the whole reason we are in these things called relationships is for love, so the least we can do is show that.

ps- from my favorite blog:


Friendship, love, and family don’t hinge on any single success or failure; you would do yourself a disservice to administer litmus tests to things as labyrinthine as love and affection.

I’m not really sure what to do anymore. I throw up at least once a week. This is not new for me, but barfing without drinking the night before is. It feels different now too. I woke up thursday  morning having an anxiety attack. How do you wake up having an anxiety attack? I could feel all my worries boiling around in my stomach and i felt violently sick. My mom tells me I need to calm down but I am not sure how. I have had a lot of stress in my life since I was 12 years old. Stress is not new to me, bu I guess the stress I am going through now is. I feel incredibly trapped in my life right now. I hate my job a lot of the time- not because I don’t care about what I do but because I feel that I am being taken advantage of. Not just me personally, but my friends that I work with as well. We work around the clock, seven days a week, and we make the least money out of everyone. Everyone else dictates their hours, dictates their salary and does about half as much as we do. The guys in my office de next to nothing and they all get to take vacation while I was told, along with my female co-workers, that it was ridiculous to ask for two weekends off in a row in the middle of summer. I barely have money to pay my bills right now and I skip eating meals on purpose lately to save money, which gives me more anxiety and doesn’t help my stomach problems. I can’t quit my job because then I have even less money and it is hard to keep telling your boss that you think you are being treated unfairly. What I realized, is that as nice as my boss is, she doesn’t care.
