I'm tired of my homeroom teacher's constant toxic positivity...
This happens every damn morning, every morning in homeroom the topic of the day is always some happy bs like "the importance of friendship" or "how we can think positive" all while demonizing negative emotions like anxiety, ik he's a special ed teacher and will teach stupid stuff but I'm tired of it, i don't want to learn this *** when I'm going through a hard time and no one around me cares, these topics don't help me they actually make me feel worse about myself, like I'm not allowed to be upset cause apparently it "upsets everyone else"..
This happens every morning and it doesn't motivate me, it actually makes me not want to even do work

I can see that it might anger you and frustrate you when you feel that you're not allowed to express your negative emotions - they are yours and need to be acknowledged. Whilst I believe it is good to put your focus on the positive or neutral it is important to validate all feelings. Have you ever thought about journaling them? It can help to find relief by putting them down on paper but also to detect possible thinking/behavioral patterns.
