I'd say i thought of killing myself when I was 8 or 10 when I hated my family for bulling me and I was so sick of their fighting since I'm always in the middle of everything one. So I was just useless. i always looked in the mirror and just hated myself of every fiber of my being. I feel like a spoiled brat but I'm honestly grateful for everything....... 2 reply
First of all, you are VALID. You breathe in air for your own person not anybody else, so you can't be useless to anybody else because you walk and talk for yourself. Family doesn't birth you or raise you to become 'of use' . Your part of a family that welcomes you as an addition to a group of people that have collectively decided to form and stay ...... reply
Its not stupid. And you really shouldn't consider it being that way. Many people have probably had the same or similar self-dilemma as you, at some point in their life.
By your words of choice, in the question, I can tell that your unsure of yourself (using "i think" in parentheses, and "it didn't hurt or bleed 'sadly'," but then following that st...... reply
No thats not normal. From what I can tell the situation you're in is pretty abusive, he's clearly not "messing around" and if its happened so often to the point that you're used to it thats not good. Also I think most of the people that responded can agree that your whole family is being horrible to you. Laughing about being sexually harassed?!?! N...... reply
I think having Depression or being depressed is complex just as much as mental illness is. Depression isn't just 'being sad all the time' it has varying forms. Especially teenagers, typically I think experience the most than others, because their lives are most rapidly transitioning into adulthood. And the brain is at its most vulnerable because it...... reply
I'm sorry I'm not good with this stuff... my intention is not to give ideas or whatever. My experience goes from trying to jump off a bridge while very high on meds and alcohol, badly crashing my car 5 or 6 times (I don't have one anymore), mixing alcohol with really strong meds, drugs and alcohol (lost count at how msny times I went to the ER ......... 1 reply
First of all. No. Flat out-NO that's NOT normal. Second, If you have to ask yourself questions like, ' is this normal?' 'Is this ok?' Its probably most likely not. Trust yourself and that gut-feeling. Get Help. And if you don't know how to ask, who to ask, or you simply can't find the courage to seek 'proper' help, then you have to help yourself an...... reply
Physical abuse and mental trauma are real. Your family is fucked if they laugh at your experiences (that you obviously don't enjoy). Even if that's normal where you're at, that doesn't mean it's okay. Please stray away from them and gradually cut yourself off. That's not being a validity whore, that's called being concerned for your well being. Don...... reply
My older brother hits me too and it’s been happening for such a long time that it’s become normal(?)
I tell my mum to tell him to stop and she’s says stop and that’s it.
Like no deep conversation about how violence is bad or hitting your sibling is bad or hitting some literally 10 times smaller than you is bad.
And like I have some w...... reply
