The fucking hurricane knocked my power out. It's been out for almost 33 hours. I only have the internet right now because of the generator, but most of the house is out of power. I can't bake (not that I'd eat it, but I love baking). The generator is costing us so much money. Some of our food will go bad. Our basement is wet. I can't leave the house because if we leave, we have to turn the generator off, and then all our food will go bad. My bf's phone died last night and I couldn't talk to him and I really needed him. I hate this. I hate being home with my family. I can barely deal with being with my mom when I'm not stranded. But I'm stuck here. It's too dark at night. And I can't listen to music like I normally would. I have it some, but my iPod dies. And I hate this. I need to leave. I've been doing nothing but eat. Which, I guess is good for my body, but it's bad for my mind. I hate myself. I'm getting fatter. I hate it, I hate it, I hate it. I'm going to break and cut soon. And I can't wait. I'm trying to resist. I know I should. But I don't want to. I hate. This. Hurricane. So much.

Oh your life is horrible a real life or dead situation
Grow up and stop acting like a 2year old

People are dead
Some have way worse damage to house
Some dont have a genarator
Some have lost everything
Some have to deal with loss in the family
Some are now homeless

Think of these things before you come on here and rant about your little problems with the hurricane

That's incredibly rude. Everyone has the right to feel what they feel. Everyone has a right to vent their feelings. She's not saying "I'm the worst off" she's saying "I feel really bad right now because...." Just because there are people starving in third world countries doesn't mean you don't have the right to feel hungry. If you don't like that she's letting out her frustration about this, then don't comment. Saying she doesn't have the right to feel what she's feeling, and express it, is unhelpful and rude.

OP: I'm so sorry that you're stuck in this situation. It's bad enough that there was a Hurricane and now you have to go through the whole aftermath too. Now that it's the morning maybe you can get away from your family? Can you go to your boyfriend's house, perhaps? And if the power's not on yet by tonight, maybe you can go sleep over at a friends or something, to escape the stress of your house.

Either way, good luck and I hope things get better for you soon. :)

Sorry. Wasn't aware I was required to be completely content at all times. I'm perfectly aware I'm not the least fortunate person on the planet, nor did I claim to be. I know I'm lucky. I still feel like shit.

Thank you for sympathizing. My boyfriend's at work right now, but I might be able to escape to his house when he gets off. Our power might be out until friday or saturday, but I'm certainly hoping it comes back sooner.

I will say I am sorry I was in a rather bad mood when I was typing my other post out
Sorry

*hugs* I'm here for you. I know how difficult it must be as I've been in disasters myself and been scared. People in this topic need to learn when to shut up. Maybe they have not gone through a disaster and do not understand what it is like to be put through one. Maybe people died and stuff but there are mental health related issues as well such as cutting and others may be doing suicide and stuff. I know I wanted to cut when we got all those Earthquakes as I got pissed off with them. Disasters should fuck off out of this world for good.

It's alright. I suppose I've certainly heard more hurtful words in my life.
