So if you’ve read my last few posts you’ll notice they have a common theme. Prom! I have been dreading prom for years. It’s totally out of my element and not my thing at all. But a friend is moving and she wanted me to go so I said yes. Well the past few weeks have been brutal. I have been so stressed out and cranky over this whole deal. Today...well yesterday as it’s 2 am, I had three full flown fits where I begged my mom to give me medicine of some sorts because I couldn’t handle the stress. Of course she didn’t because I’m not prescribed anything but I did beg. But I managed to get dressed and get to prom. It was extremely boring. I sat most of the time and by the end I was just ready to leave because the music was too loud and too many people. But I will say it was bearable. Now after prom sucked. I was so incredibly bored that I left early. I was just done. So now I know. Overall I definitely didn’t have fun but I was completely miserable. Well there you go!

hi lots of us have it in our personality like we don't like big crouds or loud music its not a downer on you for not being overy joyful about it.the good thing is though you made the effort and went even if it wasn't a great night.take out the positive aspect that you went and treat the night as a success if you can.

Thanks so much for saying this! I’ve heard people say that they were proud of me or shocked but nobody has said that me just making an effort was great. So thank you!

DemureRose, then let me tell you that at least you made the effort to go.

As I was reading your post, that is what I was thinking anyway. Trying is

also winning. You did what you could do. :) xx

Yes! Keep living life! Don’t give in to the fits. This is great news.
