Messing Up

[LuckyStrike]

I keep messing up and people are starting to lose faith and trust in me. I have a history of being clumsy and forgetful and extreme recently I messed up and lost something really important... for the 3rd time. My family who are the main people I'm worried about upsetting are currently extremely busy with some changes in life decisions & this news would be really upsetting and make things even more difficult for them, but I can't continue at school without confronting this not only due to anxiety but also the nature of my mistake. As for finding the item in question; I'm pretty sure it's gone... searched everywhere at school and home, called this bus company which I use to travel home & even asked friends if anyone might have taken it. I would try to continue until everything is easier but with school and everyone there completely aware I'm not in possession of the item I can only feel as if it's a matter of time until something gives. I really need to know what to do here; any advice?

Hi Lucky....Paul here...

You have a 'history' of being clumsy and forgetful...Its okay...we all are..and Welcome to the Forums too!

I am sorry that you are experiencing anxiety due to what you have lost. Anxiety is only a 'feeling' with a name tag but I do understand where you are coming from....I have had it too.

Please do try to 'gentle' to yourself right now....everyone loses things. Your family are going through a lot right now Lucky, I do understand that you dont want to 'bother' them...(maybe they would be worried that you havent mentioned your issue to them?)

You have looked everywhere...that is the best you can do right now Lucky. Just take really small steps right now with the impact of what you have misplaced..Can you give us a little info about what you have misplaced? Maybe something electronic? With all your work on it? I am sorry Lucky...I am only guessing here...

If you want to, please just give me a bit more info..

Just a note for you Lucky...This site is very secure and you can post whatever you wish to..okay?

Please get back to us if you wish

I misplaced my ipad with all my work on it.

Oh Lucky....I am sorry...I had a rough idea...

Do you have a teacher you get along with that you can talk to? (you have done it here...why not?)

Lucky...you are human...we do misplace things...and yes I would feel terrible as well. I am sorry for the dumb question Lucky...Who paid for the ipad?

Hey...this is only advice from me okay? When you can today....give yourself a break for being human and misplacing the ipad and ask for help at school if you dont want to involve your family...If I was the school counselor at your school...I would feel awful if you didnt ask me for help...Even a teacher...

Please let me know what you think Lucky...Your opinion is important to us. People make mistakes...I do all the time...please dont feel guilty about it...

Here for you LuckyStrike...Great effort in posting here by the way....You are stronger than you think...

woman you and I have something in common. I lose valuable all the time. an ipad probably not though ( mainly cause i'll keep it in a backpack with headphones hooked to it so i'm listening to my music 24/7 like always) my advice is look for those tracking apps/websites u can use to track your tec cause I think a friend's mum of mine who uses it to keep a tab on her devices found her missing phone because of that site so I can try to get the website from her mum but otherwise im so sorry that has happened to ya. im a nerd so my usb is my bff and when I lose it I go frantic so I know the pain of that

good luck, wish I had more help for you
