My name is Riley, I'm fifteen and utterly annoyed at the moment. Only problem is, I'm not the one annoyed. Personally I'm happy-go-lucky with a touch of unvalued sarcasm and dyslexia. But because of a cold kicking in I'm picking up on everything and everyone around me.
I'm not usually empathic to this point unless I'm sick. One of my friends does this, I see things seconds before they happen and go into a paranoia episode that annoys my family to know end, which kind of explains the current situation I'm in.
A few days ago I went on an all out anti-electrical rampage through the house. Unplugging everything that had been plugged in at around eleven at night, the night before my exams.
I almost went down and turned off the main circuit breaker. But my mom threatened to tie me to a chair if I started that so late at night. The next day we find out the plane went down because of electrical problems, which I hope was just a huge coincidence, mostly because the last two nights I've been going at the engine of the car. And growing up in a family owned auto garage, I know what I'm doing.
So I made my mom back the car into the driveway. And she's annoyed that I seem to think the car is going to blow up.
So while the paranoia is wearing off. And no one is longer mad at me.
I'm sick and picking up on everything people are feeling. And my brother had his girlfriends over...Yuck.
But I have to give my best friends credit. It's a pain knowing what other people are feeling. She usually laughs because I'm the one that can make a whole room nervous just by taking a few deep breaths.
Anybody have and tips? I tend to get sick a lot in warm weather so I suffer through the summer. And in all honestly I can't stand my brother and his hormones any longer. It's driving me farther off the deep end than I could have sworn wasn't possible.
I could really use the help.
