Anyone else have trouble differentiating between Weird Teen Hormone Shit(TM) and actual issues? [I am aware this is a weird dichotomy to make, something can be normal for teenagers but still be an 'issue', however this is how adults tend to present it]

Like, I know we need more sleep than average, but damn sometimes I go through periods where I am tired all the time and sleeping in just seems to make it worse.

Yeah, it’s really hard to differentiate between the two, and it’s just a massive source of built up rage for me.

I’ve still got a part of my brain wondering if being aroace is just temporary hormone crap that my brain latched into because I like the idea of it. (Yes this is a conversation I’ve had to break in my head a thousand times.)

My attitute to that is: if it does turn out to be a phase for me in the future, that's ok :) what matters to me is the here and now and if I think I'm aro now hen that is what matters to me now.

I get that. Sometimes I don't really control my emotions anymore and I don't know if it's the hormones, the lack of sleep or something else entirely.

i forgot my mom dont like to talk abt gender stuff and accidentally told her too much abt my thoughts on medically transitioning lmfao 

Once, my mom came into my room and was talking about the fact that I should be 'exploring my body' (which was gross and none of her business? It came out of no where too, I was just vibbing listening to music) because it was normal for teenagers my age and I just blurted out that I did not even want my to be in my body in the first place. She's borderline transphobic, but luckily she was tipsy so I just told her that we both needed to sleep and she left me alone. I had a mini heart attack.

Also The Funeral by YUNGBLUD is exceptional

I love this song! Obey, by YUNGBLOOD and BMTH is also really good!

thats odd. parents can say really unexpected things out of the blue but exploring 1s body? that usually comes w heavy sexual connotations. its creepy af imo

It was really weird indeed, but she had spent a good part of the night drinking, so maybe that explains it

still big yikes for me

Oh yeah, that’s kinda concerning. I mean I know people say dumb stuff when tipsy but I mean from what I’ve heard that’s most often about themselves.

I have good news. I had a presentation in history today and every time I had to present before today I had a panic attack. Today I didn't. 

Oh that’s awesome! :D

I mean I don’t have panic attacks but the nervousness is unreal, so I can relate in a way.

its almost exam time. holy shit 

Oof, I’m in the middle of it but most of the exams have been well… less than difficult so far. Though that’s probably just the calm before the storm, the subjects on that list were easy. How about yours? What type of stuff is your school doing, if you don’t mind my asking?
