Lisa Marie Bobby Aug 30, What is your problem? And what is someone else's responsibility? Learn how to set healthy boundaries with clarity and confidence. I love your suggestions. I am stuck in a situation of financial abuse and working on ways to earn money secretly. The thin-lipped governess is sayng that I will have to report it on tax forms that my abuser has access too. I could try to earn enough money to get away before taxes are due next year, I suppose.
Thank you for this article. Emily, what a terrible situation. So, caveat to all of the above: If you are in a legitimately abusive relationship, you need more than creative thinking and fresh energy to get out of it.
You might need practical support to create safety and get away from this person. They may be able to help you find more options than you currently perceive, as well as provide material resources, legal resources, etc.
Could you give me any advice on how to stop feeling so trapped in my situation? I only just turned 18 and I am completely stuck in the house, I was home-schooled from an online program and I just graduated. The only place I can go is work at Burger King and there is a man there who harasses me so badly that I have horrible nightmares and auditory hallucinations.
My parents pressure me to work as much as possible even though they know that there is a man who has physically assaulted me and harasses me constantly, and they make me feel awful about the financial situation. Thanks for writing this article. It really did help a little.
Also let them know that transportation is an issue. You deserve it and with the right help your life and the way you feel may be very, very different in the coming months and years. Your life is just beginning Flower.
The past belonged to your parents, but your future belongs to you. Thank you for a great article. I have been feeling very stuck and lonely for a long time. I have 2 kids and my husband lives overseas because of visa issues.
Sometimes I wish I can just relieve myself from all the pain, worry and hopelessness that I constantly feel. But I think of my kids and the fact that they will have to live without their mother I just feel the urge to keep pushing forward.
My kids are my life and I do not want to see them hurt. Malory thank you for reaching out and for sharing. Tough stuff! If that is the case Mallory this is a crisis situation and you need to get professional help immediately.
Please call the national suicide hotline number and let the person who answers know what is going on. They will be able to help you get connected to a licensed mental health professional locally. NOT online. I hope you make the call Mallory. You and your kids and your husband need you to reach out!! I have a daughter it has an eight-year-old daughter. She was divorced. They ALL want something from me.. My house is cluttered and over whelming..
I have done various fun things in my life and I could not regret them. Believe me, I look forward to continue trying new things in the future and just enjoying life.
Just to make it worse, I have a mental condition that I think is causing me to not think logically or not remember things when needed, including when I need to think about school and careers. It just angers me that I am so easily pulled back from things and I feel as if I can only make some effort to independently think for myself because of my own mind. This article has reencouraged me to look at something else that I might like to do. I just want to continue on living more than surviving in society with this seemingly jumbled brain of mine.
Is there a way I could connect with you so I could really let loose and discuss more?? I feel absolutely lost and feel I have no future because everything is closed and lockdowned. Millions of Americans are entering poverty and nobody cares.
The woke have destroyed sports. I choose to be alone because of too many things to do to try to get my life back in order, I am not really social and when I try to have a conversation with someone it is more like talking to a brick wall. It is impossible to have a real conversation with anyone today. Everything I have done in my life has been nothing but a complete and total waste of time, money and effort. I am completely boxed in with no way out.
Every plan I have come up with runs into an obstacle that due to politicians is completely closed. I have no clue what to do. I am hoping someone can assist me with this. Know that you are not alone and that alot of people feel this way. Perhaps, instead of focusing on the world around you, you could think more of what you would want the world to be like, and within reason, take steps, big or small, to effect this change.
Nothings wrong, but nothings right. We did love each other very much at the time. We still do, but the love has changed now that there is a child involved. All of a sudden the beautiful love we had seems gone, at least for me. She is a different place in her life.
I feel like I still want to explore and go on adventures, find myself. But now I feel stuck in a family life that might be well-functioning but unfulfilling for me. Freedom to do what exactly? I need to try and be the father who fought to be able to manage the responsibility. Growing to the occasion. Sometimes i feel like giving up. Saying that it just was a wrong thing for us to be parents together. I feel torn between doing what I feel like escaping the responsibility and what I think is right to do staying and working it out for the sake of my daughter.
There are ways to to have both your daughter in your life properly AND follow your heart. Let her be in on your journey too. If you want to learn new thing, take her too so she can learn. Involve her as part of your journey…you will both benefit.
Im scared to be my best self and do what I want. Look…you said you are scared to be your best self. The moment you decide to feel better and set boundaries, everything around you will go crazy.
But you know what will happen? I had these thoughts …for example i cant sleep at night,so i want to wake up but i dont. I keep sleeping because if i wake up,then i want to do things so i turn on the light and grandma would come in my room and ask me a thousand questions like: are you sick? When in reality im just not tired.
This shit made me believe i was depressed and didnt know it. But heck, we know better than anyone how we feel. We must learn to keep our point of view and protect our feelings even if others throw a tantrum around us because they cant understand. But be very careful. Pay attention. For example, i want to lose weight. First thought would be that im lazy.
But im not. I discovered im quite the opposite. The problem is grandma will stuff me like im a pig. If i say im not hungry, she will start screaming and telling me i will die if i dont eat what she wants, when she wants keep in mind im I i just ate to not see her scream because it breaks my heart. I didnt exercise in my room because if she saw me she would say: omg poor girl you are tired, stop doing this to yourself. Do you want to lose weight? I love you the way you are, you dont have to do it.
As if i do it for her to love me. Be very very careful to not confuse these things with true love. If they loved us, they would want to see us healthy happy and doing amazing things. But they are chaining us. Chains disguised us love. I was bored, lonely, and anxious, and caught more colds than I ever have in my life. There was some good in that job, though, in that I started expressing my creative side again, something that had been dormant for a long time.
Being miserable also forced me to take a look at the choices I was making in my life and career. I had other boring jobs after that one, and then one really terrible one that went against just about every moral fiber in my body. The owners made their politics very clear and they were the polar opposite of mine.
I was expected to be on call almost all the time; if my work phone rang when I was at home, fear filled my heart. It was worse than ever at this job because I was the sole breadwinner while my husband was in school. Looking back, though, while all of that was going on, I was refining and honing what it was I truly wanted and who I truly was. I read a zillion self-help and career books. I took a life coach training program. I started meditating. I started following the things that felt true to me.
Being inside an office all day simply was not working, and I wanted to work for myself, not for someone else. I needed to be creative. I needed to be able to go outside in the middle of the day. I needed freedom. I create art almost every day, and both the process of putting colors to canvas and earning money from something I enjoy so much bring me big feelings of freedom.
I also get to be outside in the middle of the day, which brings me more happiness than I ever could have imagined. I get to set big goals and move toward them at my own pace. Incorporating small changes into your day can help boost mood and ease symptoms of depression.
If you've heard of unipolar depression you may wonder how it's different from regular depression or bipolar depression. Here's what you need to know. You two are close. So you might pick up on the signs of a depressive episode. If they reach out to you, here's how to help someone with depression.
Antidepressants have been used for many years to help manage symptoms of depression. But they may not work for every person. Newer ones may help meet…. Living with depression can be overwhelming, but there may be positive aspects of the condition.
