I have no one to turn to

No one cares about my mental or physical health.

  • I feel trapped. I don't know if there's any way forward for me. All around me people are telling me to be positive who have more than me. I feel people are rubbing it in my face. My sister is smug towards me I feel, she has had a boyfriend for years, and always speaks to me like she knows everything because I'm the youngest sibling and she's the oldest.

    My father is an emotionally repressed person who is a happy person but I find him insensitive. He was born in 1940 and like most baby boomers he's always had it good, when he was young there was tons of opportunities, houses were cheap, he owned a Jaguar car, he has no understanding at all of what it's like for younger people now. He seems to judge me on his own era's standards, doesn't think I'm someone equal to him because I haven't done the things he has.

    My writing career is not going as successful as I hoped. My physical health is not that good. I feel let down by the NHS in asking them for help with my indigestion, fatigue and runny nose problem who only give drugs and very rarely do anything innovative like surgery or gut implants.

    Thank you for asking, that was a good deed.
