Living with my parents is absolutely terrible

Niamh

I’m really struggling 

I think it’s that I have no personal space/ no boundaries/ no door with a lock. My life mostly revolves around trying to spend as much time out of the house as possible but we live in a village and I am reliant on my parents driving me home from the bus stop every night:/// they don’t want to do this anymore so instead of getting home at midnight it’s meant to be 6:30pm and I really am not coping well.

sometimes I lie on my floor and cry, just hours of suffering? Despair and anxiety?

I can’t really function living wit them.

being in public in the city is farrrrr less draining than stuck at home. I feel entirely uncomfortable there:

incant express anything at all

my life is kinda hellish tbh idk it’s kinda not great… idk like i still do things but returning home mostly always fills me with dread because there are always people and I have essentially zero control over my environment and zero privacy .

  • Good morning,

    Firstly I suggest you ought to change your profile photo. Example if a member likes football, they would have a photo of a football.

    You said that you haven't got a lock on the door. Supposed there was a fire and you couldn't get out? I'm hoping to go to do a fire safety talk next month.

    Some villages/town in my county has a limited bus service. some are once a day, once a week or less frequently during the day. Your mum and dad isn't a taxi service. Maybe they're worried.

    Is there a group you could go to during the day? I go to a women's only group which is mandatory. I had family who said I ought to find another group as women institute don't meet frequently. Absolutely not true as they do meet every two weeks, I meet people and get on with the tasks. Some of the meetings have guest speakers. I get the impression that they don't like what I'm doing. Everytime they do this to me when the group changes days and times. Also making up stuff. Think they need to find something. 

    My friends said carry on what I'm doing. 

    My family needs to face up to get the house sorted in a manageable state. Sometimes I have enough as they don't listen sten. I've been sorting out my stuff especially in the crisis we're in. Also making all sorts of comments about people and towards me. 

    My fear is that  eventually when my family passes away, I've got to explain to rest of my family that I knew something wasn't right. Imagine me telling them this? 10 years ago, I had a nervous breakdown. 

    Think the first port of call is to make a GP appointment. Very difficult to make one in my town as they ask what's its for.
