Hey Pandas, What's One Thing That's Got You Stressed Lately?

coming out to my father. he has said to me before that he's fine with any of my sisters or me to have girlfreinds or boyfriends, but it's been difficult to tell him. I'm also the most trouble child out of my family (though I've never really done anything bad, I hardly speak my true feelings and battle very real depression, but no one believes a word I say. especially on my moms side)

I haven't told my family this, or really anyone, but the stress of having my mom missing, even though she's a criminal I haven't seen for 6 years, takes a toll on me. I know she may be gone or dead, and she's a bad person, but that doesn't stop the natural attachment I have to her. After all, she's my mom, even if I barely know her. Am I wrong to be stressed about it?

The standards i need to maintain at school to avoid bullying (i’m only thirteen and have to wear too much makeup)

I had a year long project in my AP Human Geography class and I always told myself "You're fine, you've got time to do it." Now I have 8 days to finish a 20 page project and I'm to the point where I'm calculating how much it'll hurt my grade if I don't finish/do it.

I recently was contacted by an old friend to help him get his convenient store and dining room up and running. For some back stork, my friend is a doctor from Pakistan and he thinks Americans are always out to take advantage of him plus he doesn’t treat women as equals. Anyways, when we did our initial walk through, I told him I’d need a budget because he needed plumbing, electrical, rooming, HVAC systems, etc. for 3 weeks I came in and cleaned green and blue mold from ceiling to floor while enlisting the help of my Dad who is a Master Plumber and teaches the apprentice classes for welding in his field, had an electrician who owed me a favor, called in every single favor owed to me to get the smaller jobs taken care of. Finally I’ve done everything I can except for order the cooking equipment for this large industrial kitchen and have the plumber and electrician come for the final few tasks. All of this was done for free up until this point. I had informed him we would have to buy the remaining materials and pay my Dad’s help. This is when I got a hard ‘No’ and was told these guys should just finish it for him because he didn’t want to spend the money. The Health Department requires certain things in a kitchen when serving the public. He didn’t want to purchase those items either and told me if we just clean it should be all ok. He then asked me who this new person he was speaking to was, implying I was being unreasonable. After 3 weeks and still not receiving a paycheck, I finally bailed but not before I called about the business license to inform them of the things he wanted to skim over and hide, and called the health department to let them know the findings of the HVAC guys and everything else he thought he could cut out or just not do. I can’t be a part of people not being paid for their services or working in a place that gets people sick or where they don’t value the hard work employees are doing. All he had to do was pay the help which totaled less than $1,000. Now in order to get his business up and running it will cost him $100,000 or more. The HVAC systems are $80+ alone. We could have had it done in just our area but given I work with these contractors frequently, they were willing to help me. I’ve still yet to get paid from this guy but I did save my contractors and future customers. Should pay your help buddy!

Mum recently lost our child support card, so money has been tighter recently

Homework. Right now it's so hard- I can't even do it anymore. I don't think I'm the only person

Well, I have two things stressing me out, but the most stressful thing is that I have a holocaust museum tonight! Everyone in my school had to make something representing the horrors that people had to go through for it. I made a painting, but I don't know if it looks good. I also wrote an essay but I am very scared that I will get a bad grade. It is a very important part of my grade for english AND social studies.

My AP Spanish test!!!!

Not being able to find a full time job to replace the bad one I got, and not finding any customers for my art and photography.

Cleaning. I stress about not getting it done in time. I have been cleaning and cleaning. I have taken breaks and all, but I get so stressed sometimes. I love doing it, but I'm afraid of not having it ALL done in "time".

STAAR test. It's the worst.

All of the lies

I have two things that are really sucking right now, finals for school with my strict parents and coming out. I'm more stressed out by coming out as bi because it's terrifying but lying to my family for the next three years (when I go to college, hopefully out of state) just seems awful.

I feel sick everytime I see anything about opioid or fetanyl use or deaths from drugs in general. Just a sinking, sad feeling for the addicts and their loved ones.

My Mom got married a few weeks ago, she got a new job in a different state so she's moving us to be closer to get job. Which means in going to have to go to an new school, and this is pretty much my first school year having friends. And I'm going to high school. So yeah . . . Thoughts on this?

school :(

My kids school, my middle child may have to go back to kindergarten next year. We put no on the paper first thing in the morning teacher calls us. I have my husband talk to her. Cause I am not good with talking to people. Her first reason was my child was too small, like why are you allowed to say that she is old enough and both me and her father are short people. My husband told the teacher we are a short people. I'm 4"11 and my husband is 5"7 it is a big chance we will have a short kid. But anyway that. And also work I want to keep the job I have I have began working fast food which I told myself I would not go back to. But I'll take what I can get when times get hard or when I have do what I have to do. Anyway we are very short staffed. An it puts so much stress on me. Sometimes I think today's gonna be the day I walk out. The people that working are grouchy because of the reasons. An some of them are just unpleasant to work around sometimes, and nightshift which we close at ten. Nightshift is still a joke and it slower than day shift. We have had people come from different countries and states to help out this branch. However I just feel so bad for them to one day to the next you don't know who gonna come in and who ant at nightshift. And I don't want to leave like three people to fend for themselves but I also want to go home to my kids when my shift is over. I am not a manger of any kind. I've only stayed once and did eleven hr shift but I know more are going to probably come in the future. An it so stressful.

What's stressing me out lately is whether I'm moving back in with my mom and grandpa be cause i can't bear to be alone anymore and I have no friend's past a group of dudes who are better friends with my bf.

has anyone else just felt hollow?

My stress right now is due to a medical issue. My knee needs to be replaced. I won't get into all the details but it's pretty bad. Here's the stressful part...My doctor and I can not find a surgeon who is willing to do the surgery. My BMI is 46 (it used to be over 63) but all the doctors we have found so far, in my state, want my BMI to be 40 or less. They tell me "Oh just lose the weight really quick." If it were that easy no one one earth would have a high BMI. I don't understand why this is even an issue but it is. So, until I either lose the weight they want or my knee breaks completely I am stuck with no hope of getting the help I need. So yeah that's my stress at the moment.
