Not Your Usual Everyday Hijack of a Topic
Thumbs up x1

Ah, it's good to hear from everyone. It's pretty neat to see these kinds of forum journal-like topics where everyone can write about their good and bad days... I feel like it's nice to take some time to write about yourself, just to take your mind off all of your everyday occurrences.
That's probably while I ended up writing this thing, even though I was probably too young and/or naive to sit back and think why I kept posting there.
It brings back memories. It really does, so much has changed since I last posted there.
I've been missing for a fair amount of time and it's been a while since I wrote about myself, so I'll do a shameless hijack and write a quick summary about my past 2 years on this topic. I mean, those 2 years are insignificant for those who have never even touched that old topic, but there might be a few interested in knowing how things turned out during those years so I'll place a spoiler with all that stuff right here. The rest of you can skip to the stuff after the spoiler:
Well, that was a lot of stuff. Took me a while to write. Now, on to more recent stuff!
My group of friends and acquaintances has increased by a fair amount. While we still have some of the old crew around (García, a fool that plays the drums and is my best friend; Nestor, a silly, friendly and awesome guy; Maria Cabrera, a quirky girl who's quite unpredictable at times;Cross/Vapora, that dude with an account on Steam that some of you guys know; Fannel, great friend with a sense of justice), we've also ended up integrating more people to our group. It's quite big now, we usually end up inviting like 11 people everywhere we go, and we all get along (with a few exceptions).
However, I've also managed to make some friends outside of my group. I made a few thanks to my will to explain every single Math/Physics/Chemistry class to them when they don't understand it (Barbara, Daniela); some others were thanks to my need for someone to vent to (Diane, Rossanna, Carla); some of them just crossed paths with me while I tried to work with my silly plans (Harold, Alejandro), but the important thing is that now I have a lot more people to rely on.
Out of that list the most significant ones I can name are Diane, Rossanna and Harold/Alejandro (those last two for...reasons I'll explain later).
Let's start with Diane. She's really weird. No idea what she's gone through, but she's the weirdest one in the classroom and that's an opinion shared by many. That's exactly why she was one that came to mind when I needed help with my Andrea-related issues- I had to think outside the box, outside of my group of friends, and weird people are good at that. My instinct said I could trust her so I decided to go ahead and explain her my issues, and that's how we became friends.
That happened back in January. We were all good for a while until recently. She's getting way too clingy, waaaay too annoying... I'm pretty sure she has a crush on me. That wouldn't be too bad but she's WAY too obsessive. I don't want to break her poor heart (and I don't think I SHOULD be breaking her heart because, uh, she has a boyfriend) but god ♥♥♥♥ hell, she's too annoying and I'm honestly getting tired. Each time I try to be alone she sneaks up from behind and scares me, she asks "how are you" about 10 times per morning... she's just bothering me way too much now.
Next up, Rossanna. Met her the same way I met Diane. She's not that weird, but she looked like a rational person that would be able to help me out. Ended up having a crush on her, and I also ended up fighting with one of my friends because he started crushing on her too. He 'won' in the end and they're currently a couple, but I don't talk to him anymore since he said some pretty ♥♥♥♥ stuff about me behind my back and ended up threatening to beat me up and my friends due to an issue related to Rossanna and indirectly to him- but NOT related to my friends... that left a really bad taste in my mouth, to be honest.
Whatever. Rossanna. I'm still pretty close to her even though we've had some problems. In fact, she might be reading this right now (Hey Rossanna! ^-^ ). Something about her just clicks perfectly with me, she's someone I have a lot of trust in because I feel she understands how I feel and she's willing to listen. We get along extremely well and we talk every single day. Some of my friends don't like her because her now-boyfriend almost ended up beating us up and they say she was the source of the problem, but whatever. They don't really mind that much anymore. She's really cool and I appreciate her friendship a lot. I guess something good came out of that whole Andrea mess.
Now, uh, Harold and Alejandro. This one's a bit tricky to explain.
You see, when the year starts we choose a few spokespersons per classroom to represent the classroom in case anything arises. Most notably, we have the Classroom spokesperson (to represent the classroom in general), and the Evaluation spokesperson (takes care of any problem regarding evaluations or activities). Just like every year, I was chosen as the Evaluation spokesperson. It's usually not a big deal since spokespersons don't really end up doing anything during the year, everyone just deals with things directly so the need for a spokesperson is usually none.
However, the Classroom and Evaluation spokespersons of each classroom were called for a meeting one day, regarding to some changes made with the evaluation rules and ♥♥♥♥. While we were in there, our "superior" (since I can't come up with a better word) gave us a pen and paper where we wrote our signature and the classroom we study on, as an attendance list. Once the list goes around all the table and back to his hands, he looks at it and noticed something odd, so he individually asks if both spokespersons from each classroom were present.
Both 1st years had their spokespersons presents, just like 2nd year. The oddity became obvious when they were asking for the 3rd year spokespersons. One of the 3rd year classrooms had both spokespersons, but it turns out the other classroom was missing one. So he asked where was the other spokesperson.
And the girl explains why she was there alone. While I heard her story I couldn't help but noticed something that stood out out of all things- her haircut. Her hair is short, but it's also way so at the end it makes this really weird curve which looked pretty cool to me since it stood out from every single haircut I had seen at school. Leaving that aside, it turns out that the Evaluation spokesperson from her classroom quit for some reason so she ended up as as both Classroom and Evaluation spokesperson... I didn't even know it was possible to quit.
Whatever. I saw the girl two times after that. One time was when we were all leaving the school and I managed to notice her weird haircut from a distance. The second one was during an important event between everyone from 4th year and 5th year. We had a few folks from 3rd year helping us out, including her, and that's when curiosity got the best of me. I described her appearance to Rossanna and decided to ask her if she knew her.
"Ah, are you talking about Mariana?" After one quick search on Facebook, yes, that's her name.
I decided to ask my friends about her and I got some interesting stuff. She's one of the best students in her classroom. She likes reading. Her 3 best friends (of which I could only recognize one). She owns a dog. Thanks to all of the important and unimportant stuff I found out about her, my curiosity just kept growing and growing, and at one point I told myself "I need to meet this girl". However, that was easier said than done, since we had no friends in common and approaching her randomly would just be creepy. While I considered all of my options an idea came up to mind. A crazy idea, a "so crazy it might actually work" idea: writing a letter to her.
Not a romantic letter. I only really know this girl's name and have never interacted with her. So that'd be a good place to start, sending her a letter with a quirky message and my phone number to see if she replies or something; of course, remaining anonymous to save my ♥♥♥ in case I get into trouble. I wrote a mockup to show to my friends, both male and female. Everyone liked the letter, so I decided it wouldn't be that bad of an idea after all. I wrote the letter and managed to get it into her hands via magical means (an acquaintance) and hoped that by the end of the day I'd have a message from an unknown number and I could finally talk to her.
Sadly, it didn't go so well. While I did end up getting a message, it turns out it was from her best friend's number (coincidentally the one who I recognized), she found out my identity and didn't answer any other messages. It's a smart way of doing things, I must admit, but it felt ♥♥♥♥. Whatever, y'know what they say: if there's a will, there's a way. After talking with Garcia about any other options, he suggested talking to Harold and then explaining the issue to one of Harold/Garcia/Mariana's friend, Alejandro.
And that's where they both come into play. I was never really friends with Harold even though he lived extremely close to where I live, but now that I've gotten him to help with this stuff I've become a lot closer to him than I would have expected. He's just as cool as I expected and someone I can rely on, and now that I know him I feel like a lot of doors have opened- I mean, I can meet a bunch of new people, go to new places and go out a lot more in general, which is something that I really need.
Alejandro, well, I don't know him that well yet. But I like him, I get a good vibe from him, he seems like someone who's pretty smart and reliable, and he's also got a nice sense of humor (even though some of that consists on teasing me with Mariana... just like everyone else does). Aside from being my closest link to Mariana, he's also my closest link to a bunch of guys and girls from 3rd year that I'd like to meet one day. Also I think he's into gaming since I heard him talk about League of Legends but I don't really know, I guess I'll find out one day since it's obvious I'm into gaming too.
Okay, so that's about it. That's what I've been doing all this time. Also it seems like I took 5 hours writing this and it's actually 3AM now, I'm really tired so I'll go to sleep even though I wanted to make a silly tl;dr because this thing ended up being a lot longer than I expected
Until next time!

Sounds like a bacterial infection or virus, Kary. That ♥♥♥♥ will eat you up, and made me lose 50 pounds from symptoms alone. Definitely should go see a doctor if you haven't already.
Today I burned my hand, soldered a motor to a switch and CPU fan to make a deskfan, and learned that summer makes me nauseous as ♥♥♥♥. Also, I've gotten pale asf from not being able to go outside much.

Not easy when your mother's go-to responses are "there's nothing wrong with you" and "eat more fruit".

At the age of 16, you can go to the doctors alone in the UK. And I know you're still younger than that, but she has to respect your wishes to see a doctor, then she only has to supervise you when you're there. She's not exactly the medical professional who can tell you what is or isn't serious, lol.

Well...I wouldn't quite go as far as to say that. It's totally natural for parents to be in denial about their kids' needs/not take them seriously, because you never want to wish the worst on the people you love. It would be different if she refused point blank to let him go to the doctor by any means possible.

I suppose cost might also be an issue. Maybe she doesn't want to waste money (and/or time) on taking you to the doctor's only to find out that nothing is wrong. Though I think that the UK healthcare system is different from the US one, so that might not be a concern. Either way, you should keep being persistent, because that's certainly rather worrying :s

My day has hardly begun and I've had to cancel my doctor's appointment, had another anxiety attack, and even if I pushed through the latter and went to the former, I'd be throwing up literally everything before I got there. I honestly just want to cut my stomach out and live off air, it's this ♥♥♥♥ bad sometimes. No one understands or even grasps what I deal with, they all think I'm over-exaggerating, or that I should get over it and fight it. No, you ♥♥♥♥ live with this. I dare you. You try leaving the house and not even getting a mile before you get sick. Not being able to live life because the symptoms are that bad if not worse. For the past two weeks I've been having dark thoughts about how to handle it, because of constant pressure to get employed and apply for college courses I can't even sit in at.
I just want to stay to myself, do what I love and want, and not have to worry about people or anxiety. Is that possible? Can I do that? Why is this so hard? Why is it the few types of medication that can assist have to be illegal or limited to specific illnesses? Why is this understudied?
Why the hell do I even have this?

In the UK, we have the NHS which is a free health service (for now lol). I can't imagine the hell it must be to deal with health insurance :S
