Everyone has rough days and not everyone wants to admit it. Here are eight signs that you need a mental health day, ASAP.

You’re easily irritated

Giphy

Someone decides to breathe? Annoyed.

Someone is walking? Pissed.

Don’t even get me started on when someone dares to LOOK at you.

No motivation.

Giphy

Not even a date to your favorite restaurant can convince you to get out of bed. You just don’t want to do anything.

Anxiety and/or panic attacks

Giphy

Everything is stressing you.

You can’t think straight.

You feel like the world is crashing around you.

Lack of sleep

Giphy

Before you know it, it’s 4 A.M. and your alarm clock will be going off in two hours.

Zero patience

Giphy

Your mom can be acting sweeter than apple pie, going above and beyond for you, and you just won’t have it.

A stomach ache that’ll never leave

Giphy

You just always feel sick, and you can’t put your finger on why.

Crazy hormones.

Giphy

See a cute puppy? Cry.

Want food? Cry.

Someone doesn’t smile at you? Cry.

It’s like your period, only worse.

You feel like you’re in a zone

Giphy

You can go through the whole day and not remember anything, because you were a zombie the whole time.

If you have any or all of these symptoms, please take time for yourself. Your mental health is so important and can affect you in the worst ways.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
