RIP REGGS

This day will always hold a place in my heart. Not too long ago I found out that there is a chance that I might have cancer. You were the first person I told because I knew that you would understand. You were one of the first people I came out to and you were so accepting. Your love and acceptance for everyone as who they are is the reason you were so loved. When I saw Aaric crying I knew something was wrong. When I went into the hallway and saw everyone else I realized it was you. I’m sorry you had to go so soon but we knew this day was coming. We would all be lying if we said that we were hoping that the doctors were wrong when they said you wouldn’t beat it this time. You beat it 4 times which is so much of an inspiration for me. I know that when I have my surgery, no matter what the doctors say, I will be able to fight because you will be my role model. So many people looked up to you and so many people will miss you. I know I did not know you as well as some others, but I am so thankful I got to know you as well as I did. I will think of you at my doctors appointments, I will think of you when dysphoria is kicking my ass, I will think of you when I play tennis. I am so thankful I got to be your last doubles partner and I will always remember playing Snider and Whitko with you. I will do my best to honor you, starting with filling in your shoes as engineering captain. I hope to get back to Olympics soon so I can leave my impact on the school just like you did. I will miss my daily Reagan posts, but you will be with everyone in spirit. Fly high and may you Rest In Peace. We all love you Reagan. We will always be Reagan Strong.

Realizing that my dissociation is a defense mechanism suddenly makes so much more sense.

Do you recognize these in someone you know?

I really need to focus and do my homework tomorrow but that isn’t going to happen.

I treat my anxiety like a dog around fireworks

For an hour today I cleaned my room. You can’t ever really tell how much work I did because I pretty much only got rid of the trash from underneath my bed.

Do you ever just have a crush on someone who you literally have no chance with. I feel like Sam from atypical right now.

And somehow yelling will make it better

Does anything else need to be said?

This is just me in general

I’ve never taken a health class. Ever. The extent of my health lesson in high school was researching concussions for 2 weeks.

Memes have probably done a better job of raising awareness of mental health and how it affects people than most health classes in school

A lot of the adults at my school actually say this a lot and honestly I am glad for their understanding because I can usually take a break to just go and cry somewhere if I need it.

The mental health of children is MUCH more important than their school grades.

By punching/hitting something really hard.

Screaming on the top of my lungs.

Rubbing something smooth.

Locking myself in a small familiar or dark room.

If you’re an HSP, how do you guys deal with feeling overwhelmed?

In life you either run with Sasquatch or run from Sasquatch.

This is why I stopped talking at school

And the entire time I am thinking about how I can play faster.

The whole point of golf is to play the least amount of golf possible.
