This girl, Abby texted the group chat to tell us something bad happened to our friend Ella, that her mom sent a message saying she collapsed and fainted.

It had been several hours, and Abby said Ella hasn't woken up yet, according to her mother.

I was worried, vented to my family about it, and tried calling her number. It appeared her phone had been turned off.

Later, Ella told me and her BF Michael that it was a prank and that her phone was off because she was on a plane. She was bored and thought no one would care if she was in an actual coma.

I was relieved and Michael was rightfully pissed.

I'm sorry to rant, but he's so quiet and peaceful that I want to hug him. It's honestly so relaxing to see him asleep, although sometimes I accidentally get pushed behind which leads to the body getting sleepy.

Every time I talk to my family about something, and my grandma happens to be in the room (almost always), I could bring up something such as school friends (since my family will ask if anything exciting happened), and I’ll bring up something ONCE like: “I’m so happy for my friend Ella. She’s liked this dude, Michael, for a long time, and now they’re finally together!”

Suddenly, my grandma will say “You know, it’s so WEIRD that you’re obsessed with Ella’s dating life? Why are you being so WEIRD?”

I’ll calmly respond with, “I’m just happy for her. I’m talking about things that happened at school.”

She’ll tell me that I get offended too easily and that I’m oppressing her, that she can’t say ANYTHING without me getting offended.

When I told my family that I just got diagnosed with a disorder and was trying to process it, she told me I was obsessed with “being mentally ill and making it my whole personality”, when I only mentioned being tested for it a few times.

She frequently makes comments when I say anything about a topic, and then when I calmly tell her that her comment isn’t true, she thinks that I’m upset with her and stuff.

How do I deal with the comments?

> My friend Ana (15F) is generally a nice person, but she can be a little weird with some things, specifically Gym. Ana does not like taking accountability for her own mistakes, nor does she seem to believe/accept that she can be wrong sometimes. > > Ana constantly blames others (like me) for things like her serving the volleyball behind herself instead of over the net, for example. > > When I pass to someone and they end up missing in basketball, she blames me for passing to them and not her. > > If I end up winning a point, she sarcastically slow claps and says “Wow. You finally did something useful for once.” > > She gets mad at me for setting or spiking a volleyball that’s too high for me to bump as well, saying she’s better than everyone, that everyone is useless, and that I was actually supposed to bump it down low. > > She makes sure to remind people how terrible they are and how she’s better than them, too. Ana has anger issues (she says it’s because of her parents) and while she acts like nothing happened/apologizes in the next period, she does the same things again and again since around 12 years old. I like Ana as a friend but I hate when she yells at me and others for everything.

Has anyone ever woken up one morning to realize that the alter in front with them hasn't woken up yet? It's very weird and even sometimes leads to sleep paralysis for me.
