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 .

  • Not even a key to your bedroom? Don't they even knock?

    Been there too, I'm in my 60's, my parents lived in a village, and I graduated in 1981, becoming one of Thatcher's 3 million, and graduate unemploynent had never before been a thing.

    At least I did have a moped at the time. The buses were terrible. 

    So maybe a bike at least cod give you a tiny bit of independence. 

    Obviously paid work or as cl time study as you could get would help. 

    What is your family like?
