I went and got my phone taken yesterday, and when I asked for it back, my dad took that opportunity to get in a thirty minute yelling session. Which of course brought back traumatic memories from my childhood. So long story short, I spent most of yesterday switching back and forth between crying in the bathroom and coming out and trying to pretend I'm fine. And what really doesn't help is, I found out recently that I have moderately severe depression. So that's fun. I haven't told anyone bc the last time I did, I was told 'you're being dramatic' and 'just suck it up. Life isn't that bad' and their favorite lately is the guilt trip that's something along the lines of 'other kids would love to have a small portion of what you have so suck it up and be grateful' or just 'fix your attitude' like I'm trying but it's really not that easy! And yelling at someone to be happy has never ever actually helped the situation from my personal experience.
Aaand I still don't have my phone back. So if you've texted me and I don't respond, that's why. :/
Also I'm trying to get a chapter out, but I can't promise that it's going to happen today.
