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 .

Parents

  • Hi Niamh and welcome.

    I'm sorry to hear you are struggling. If living with your parents is making you miserable, the only alternative is to move out. 

    You don't say whether you are working or getting benefits. If you are not working you should be able to get help with housing costs, so if that's the case contact your local council to ask about claiming housing benefits and also ask if you can register on the local housing needs register to try to get a social housing flat, which will be cheaper than renting privately. If you are working, look at studio flats for rent from letting agents (the Rightmove website is a good start) 

    If you are unsure about managing your finances, there are articles on this website that you might find useful. If you click on the three lines at the top of this page, then choose Advice and guidance, you will see some help topics which include:

    Financial help, money & benefits

    Social care - including living independently

    Employment advice - if you are not currently working but want to get a job.
