I’m so stressed I might start hyperventilating. Ask me anything

Currently sitting in my bathroom on a break. It’s my birthday party today (my bday is on Monday), and my friend pulled out of making my cake, so I made it myself last night whilst also trying to hand in an overdue assignment, tidy, do my washing, and eat. I only got home at 8pm, so it was a long night. I didn’t finish the assignment. I’ve been up all day finishing the cake, tidying the house, buying food (I don’t have enough so will need to order a dominoes), and figuring out who’s coming. I’m hardly getting any responses so I don’t even know who’s coming to my party. It’s in 2 hours. Im so stressed. I’m hoping my lecturer doesn’t mark my assignment until Monday so I can try and get it done tomorrow. My actual birthday is on Monday. I don’t have any food for my family coming over then either. Going to shower now and then get back to it.

Ask me anything.

Preferably to to my mind off stuff

Relax dude... It's your birthday, you should be enjoying yourself, not stressing! If this is causing you distress, then cancel it. And I know it's still early but "Happy Birthday" , and call your mother... No one remembers your birthday as well as her!

Would you like to go somewhere else instead of being at your party since it's so stressful?

Honestly, bed. But I have too much to do.

Big thought, do you need a cake? It's your birthday so you get to pick

Friend, happy birthday. Second- please think about your priorities. A cheap grocery store cake and finishing the assignment would have been the way to go.

You don't get a second chance at school- please prioritize it.

What do you find relaxing?

Playing Minecraft, lighting candles, listening to music. I’m currently listening to lofi with a candle lit, so luckily I’m more chilled than I was
