Yesterday I was feeling rather upset and frustrated with my living situation and life in general. I am living with a friend and her family here in VA. I hadn't planned to come to live in VA (only to visit as a tourist) but family situations in NY forced me to make a move. I didn't have the finances to get my own place so I was offered a place in NH with some friends, but things didn't work out up there so another mutual friend offered me a place down here. It started off okay, but she and her husband are nutcases. They just have their own quirks that just get under my skin. they have a daughter, she just turned 12, to me they really don't parent her like they should. She is dyslexic and has some learning difficulties. She cant read well and I feel they should get tutoring (she is in a special ed class in school but I just don't think it's enough) of course I keep these feelings to myself for the most part because I don't think it would go over well.

Yesterday I called my counseling service, of course my regular counselor is not there on weekends, but they offer an off hours number. I got a call back from someone, I explained how I was feeling and gave her some background on me and what I was going through. The call lasted about 12 mins with her asking me what my counselor said I should do if I am upset. I said go for a walk, meditate, write in a journal. So basically she parroted that info back to me and made me promise I'd go for a walk then said she had to go. DONE. I didn't feel any better than before I had called.

I did go for that walk, ran into some neighbors and chit chatted with them. So that did make me feel better. I'm just tired of my life and don't see anyway out.

thanks for listening
