Don't Want To Get A Job.. Can't See A Future.

@everyone, I just read a ranting article about college choices. Try being ripped apart by a Rottweiler when you were 13 after getting off the school bus, screaming for your life, and no one comes to help. Negative parenting? Get over it.

I have a story that similar but its not as physically extreme. My brother is 6 years older than me and when I was 12, he was 18 nearly every few days he would beat me up to the point my body was bruise, I would scream for help but my dad would be in the other room pretending he didn't hear anything because I guess he didn't care enough to open the bedroom door come downstairs and make him stop. I guess he given up on me when I was born so why bother eh?

When I was 4-5 and I still remember it clearly my mom dragged me naked to school placed me in front of the class naked and dressed me in front of the class because i was being difficult. Most of my other store from childhood are bad like this, never a play catch with my dad story or even a remotely happy story. Its not physical torture but mental torture.

Im not sure if this is what you call PTSD but it messes with my head and self motivation to the point that it feels helpless, why work, it wont get better I see it in my grandfather, my dad and in me. Can I break the chain I don't know..
 
I relate to what you are feeling. You need TIME and you need therapy to help move through some of the demoralizing experiences you've had which have crushed your spirit. It will take time to do some healing and eventually moments of motivation will come back. Moments of excitement and positive anticipation will come back. A time will come where you can begin to see yourself working again and wanting to have a house/apartment, etc etc. Be extremely gentle and patient with yourself and be willing to try everything --- new diet, medication, therapy, yoga, mediation, art therapy, etc.
