    :((( advice please

    I'm glad you were able to get the help you need, and that you're doing better! How did you go to the hospital? Did you just show up there? I don't think it's gotten to that point yet for me, but just in case. Thanks for your response :)

    :((( advice please

    Thank you so much for your help. I really appreciate it :) Yeah, it was a lot to put out there. I'm really nervous. But thank you for answering my questions and giving me advice without judgement. I'll definitely be using these! Have a great day.

    :((( advice please

    Over a year ago, my younger cousin (M14?15?) would wake up super early, maybe around 2-4:30am and touch me (F15) while I was asleep. I don't know how long he was doing it for, but I suspect it started either earlier that summer or even before then (which is worse because I only see him once a...

    my parents (another vent, sorry)

    Oh my god, this is literally exactly how I feel! Growing up, I was always torn between feeling alone in this but also wondering if what I was experiencing was normal. As for the whole getting in trouble thing, I totally get that. It was kind of a vicious cycle, in a way, because on one hand, I...

    my parents (another vent, sorry)

    sorry about this in advance. no one has to read this or even respond. i just don't have a support system and need to get this off my chest before i explode. i've always kept my parents at a distance (partly because i think it's what they want (if the way they dismiss and invalidate my feelings...

    already rocky relationship with mother beginning to spiral; need advice eek

    i'm sorry that my situation sounds familiar to you. it's not a great experience, and i'm glad you're able to get the support you need :) you might be right. my parents simply might not be able to handle the stress of their daughter being mentally ill over everything else they have to worry...

    already rocky relationship with mother beginning to spiral; need advice eek

    i haven't really ever had a good relationship with my mom. she's overprotective (to the point where i'm reduced to being a helpless child without her, and i am already 16 years old), is a perfectionist, is a helicopter parent, and, worse, refuses to believe that my depression, anxiety, and PTSD...

    i agree with that. i'm hoping that i'll be able to change the mindset i've been conditioned to have sooner than later because it's only thanks to you and @Wonder Woman that i've been able to recognize the effect it has had on my life so far. i'll have to spend a lot of time working on it. thanks...

    that's true. i keep a lot of this tightly locked inside me and try as much as possible to avoid thinking about it or dealing with it. probably not a good thing. that's a good idea; i'm going to spend some time doing that today. hopefully i'll be able to identify with having more healthy...

    i suppose so. it's hard to juggle all of these things at the same time, especially since most of them all pretty much happened back to back. i hope i will be able to get past this eventually. knowing that others understand this feeling is comforting, which helps. :) yes! i have my therapist's...

    hello ! thank you for your response. yeah they're pretty big chunks. when i talk about stuff like this i tend to ramble on and on and on and on... sorry about that haha! hope you are doing well too :) that makes a lot of sense, actually. i don't think i've ever actually felt overwhelmed...

    checking in

    i'm going to be completely honest, since i've been kind of deflecting the reality of this in a way, but i am doing so. bad. PTSD has been getting worse, anxiety is pretty high despite spending all of my time at home in my room, and i've been spiraling into a depressive episode of sorts (in fact...

    need a bit of advice - how to get my parents to understand me better

    thank you everyone so much for your replies. i appreciate your help so much, and i really needed to hear a lot of what everybody said. i feel much better about this whole situation. i have a therapist that i see regularly, but i think talking to the guiding counselor at school will help too...

    need a bit of advice - how to get my parents to understand me better

    so as i mentioned briefly on a previous thread, i don't have the best relationship with my parents (would like to clarify here that they were never abusive). if i went into my entire life story and how invalidating of my emotions my parents have been, we'd be here all day, so instead i'll just...
