I feel too overwhelmed with a lot of stress and things I have to do
I´m moving to a new appartment, and I don´t have money to buy more boxes to move my stuff in, it´s pathetic.
My bicycle has a flat tire and I can´t afford to fix it.
A friend is coming to visit me for a week and I don´t have money to go around and show him the area.
I just want to give up this stupid difficult life, I´m getting too tired of it all.
 
I'm feeling completely insignificant.

You are not at all insignificant.

I'm going to be nerdy for a moment, I hope you don't mind. I'm stealing this from a paper I read an awful long time ago about time travel. OK:

Ok, so a moment. It is defined by every single atom and particle in the universe. Which means right now, whats happening is I'm typing. Buuuut, that's not all. What's happening is because of my position, and every other humans on the planet, the position of the planets in relation to each other, the position of the planets in relation to the sun, the position of the sun in relation with the solar system, and the position of the solar system in relation with the rest of our universe.

So bearing that in mind, let's take one grain of dust from last year. Imagine that grain of dust hadn't existed. The whole universe would be different, perhaps not by a lot, but significantly. This might sound like I'm saying you're as insignificant as a grain of dust, but you can replace the dust with anything, and it would have the same outcome.

Universe minus tiny spec of dust = change.

Universe minus Bill gates (so he never existed) = Change.

Universe minus you = change.

You are one building block of many that make up the universe, so is anyone that's reading this is. So don't think you're insignificant.

It's thanks to you the universe is the way it is.

Be proud.

And throwing all that aside, say if you'd never existed the universe would shape itself to be the same.

You're my friend, you make me smile, you make so many people here and in life happy, you're far from insignificant.

Well there's my two cents, which actually turned out to be $50. Sorry if I bored you.

You're totally significant Weirdy.

Tired. Had a pretty bad panic attack last night, so I didn't sleep too well. I haven't had one in 2 months, why now?

Sometimes these things just sneak up on you without you knowing why. Try not to worry about it too much, it's just a small set back.

You're getting better all the time, you just notice more when something bad happens

^ Yeah but the thing of it is, I honestly don't even know what caused the panic attack in the first place. I wasn't worried or stressed when I went to bed. I don't have any social gatherings or situations coming up to even be worried about either.

My body has been feeling off for over 2 weeks now. I've been detoxing, replenishing my body with probiotics, and taking nightshades (potatoes, tomatoes, peppers) out of my diet and nothing is working. I feel dizzy occasionally, especially if I lay down, the tension headaches are awful, and I always have a constant bloated feeling as well as a little stomach pain. I'm just so frustrated that I don't know what's going on, and I'm trying to fix it and nothing's working. I really don't want to travel 2 hours to see my naturopath about this, I'd rather just figure it out on my own. Plus, I have a slight idea of what it may be, but I just don't know how to approach it anymore.

Do you want to message me to talk about what you think it might be?

Perhaps it's everything you've been doing, you've been pushing yourself a lot recently, not that it's bad, I'm really proud. But perhaps you could take a break, go somewhere remote, calm, just a few days of no stress?

Haha that was good. I used to have similar thoughts, like if I kill this fly now, it will change the world because we don´t know what impact do even the smallest deeds have. Or, if I take slightly different way, I will thread on different insects etc., so it will change the world too. (Which doesn´t necessarily mean such acts would disrupt nature´s balance unless we do something really violent or negative, but in a way is probably does have impact).

Here's a resume of how I feel:

My math teacher is the worst teacher I've ever had. This society is retarded. I just want this stupid week to end so I can stop wasting my time and move on to other things.

Quite well, just in being. I think I was B12 deficient all this time, wasn't taking enough until yesterday. Aahhhh, things just feel brighter and less tunnel-vision-y...

I'm feeling ok, but i guess i'm a bit on the lonely side. It's just such a pity that people i come in contact with are so negative and feel like knocking me down. I usually avoid everyone as a result and then end up with not one friend.

I´m moving to a new appartment, and I don´t have money to buy more boxes to move my stuff in, it´s pathetic.
My bicycle has a flat tire and I can´t afford to fix it.
A friend is coming to visit me for a week and I don´t have money to go around and show him the area.

Hey Nanita. Why do you have to buy boxes? /is confused/ Nobody here ever buys boxes, you just go to a store and ask, some stores even have extra old boxes at the entry/exit and you can just take... If you're shy, you can ask someone else to do that...

YAY for moving to new appartment! It can be stressful, I know. So just RELAX and take it easy... It doesn't have to go so perfect or so quickly, just 'survive' it!!

Do you know anyone who can fix your tire for free? (Male relatives, friends, neighbours come to mind...) Even perfect strangers may be willing to help if you ask nicely. (And maybe offer to buy a beer or cook or bake'em something? - doesn't have to be now if you're broke, maybe after you move/recieve some money?)

YAY for a friend visiting too! I know that can be stressful too!! Can you simplify it?
If they can't stay with you, recommend hospitalityclub.org or couchsurfing or a hostel or such to them and just suggest a meetup or a few? (In your area, or THEY can see to transport/entertainment costs and invite YOU if they want?)

Going out in a few minutes. : S ... I don't want to do it, but I have to, you see it was my decision to go out every Tuesday night and I'm determined to do it. I know I'll feel great when it's over, and I'll be pleased that I did it, but right at this moment I feel dreadful about it and slightly, just slightly nauseous.

Goodbye! :l Have a nice evening/morning/afternoon everyone.
