Out of control

Seems like if its not one thing its another.

I got hit in the face with a basketball and had to get stitches in my lip, so now. . .
My face is swollen
My lip is bruised from the stitches
My chin has a bruise where the basketball hit.

I have braces so. . .
My mouth is sore from the adjustments that took place the day before i got hit with the basketball
I can't get the lip bumper out of my bottom teeth cause my lip is swollen, and now its hard to get my teeth clean properly.
My tongue is raw and swollen because the position of the tpa in the roof of my mouth was adjusted and changed positions.
I'm 19 and I now look like I'm about 14 as a result of the braces.

My contacts are the wrong perscription.
I cant get into the eye doctor for another week
My glasses make me look younger, especially combined with the braces.

I have a final tomorrow in a class I'm awful at. I've studied my brains out for the past week and I still am worried about it.

The guy I like is a total jerk and wont talk to me anymore.

I don't feel like i'm good enough or pretty enough, and feel like I'll never have anyone.

I am trying my best to look on the bright side, and realize things WILL get better with time. I want to be happy. but no matter how hard I try. . .it just doesn't work. I'm just so stressed. I'm probably just being dramatic. But its still frustrating for me.

Heyy,

Well first off I'm sorry to hear this, but life wouldn't be life if everything was all plain sailing. I know right now you're going through a tough spell, but things will turn round soon.

To be fair, what is so wrong with looking younger? I know and understand you want to look your age, but all this is just temporary, and soon enough everything will go back to the way it was.

As for the exam, as long as you know in your heart, you've revised and done everything you can to pass, there isn't anything else you can do. Just do your best, and what happens, happens for a reason. Just keep calm and collected, easier said than done I know. But it's hard to remember everything you revised if your head is thinking of the consequences of what could go wrong. You just need to think positive, and the positive things will come.

If the guy you like, is a total jerk, then maybe he's just not the right guy for you. You need someone that will sweep you off your feet when things are getting tough. I know from experience that trying to control love, is like a task on its own. Just don't let it drag you down, so you feel inadequate in anyway. It's his loss.

Awwh that's not true, there is no such thing as "Not good enough" && "Not pretty enough" it's just the perception && opinion of one person. Not everyone will think the same thing, but there will be someone out there that will adore you for inner beauty aswell as the beauty on the outside too.

Just keep fighting, it's a tough spell and is a test of will power to keep fighting. But trust me you need to fight to get the good things in life, nothing comes easy. Just keep your chin up and be strong.

If you ever want to talk message me =)

Take care

Hey Amber dont let life get you down, theres not really much i can say without repeating shaun above me ^^

Most people would kill to look younger so your lucky there =] your braces wont be in for too long anyway.

As for your test im sure you did fine, if you studied your brains out then your ready for it =] you need to calm down a little though because the more you stress the more flusterd you'll get.

If this guy is a total jerk then hes really not worth it and you deserve somebody better =] your probally a very pretty person and im sure with all the stress your going through you just cant see that. Guys shouldnt be with you just for your looks anyway its your personalitiy and who you are as a person is the main thing.

Annnd your not being over dramatic ^^ everybody has to have a good vent now and then, pluss it's better to share it with other people. Oh and you are right it will all get better =]
