Oof I can relate. During basketball season, my parents would always be late and the school had these doors that would lock once you went outside and it was during winter time and my parents would always yell at me because I was outside but everyone went outside and i couldn't go back in. Yeah, parents suck sometimes. Also don't end ur life >:( you matter and we all care about u and would miss you if u left.
I um. I'm never really the person to rant. I mean. I'm usually the person that people come to. But as of recently…
Spoiler - click to show.
So I love anime, it's like a safe place for me. No matter how bloody, gory, or so tooth rottingly sweet and fluffy the anime is, I always rely on it. It lets me escape as much as books do. As of recent, because of Corona, it's harder for me to check out books. I used to spend hours searching through the bookshelves to see what adventures awaited me. But I haven't been able to do that. So I rely on anime. However, my father does not approve of my "guilty pleasures. He believes anime is a waste of time and is stupid plot wise. He always makes snide comments whenever I'm talking to my uncle about a recent anime I've watched. My sister is constantly questioning everything I watched. I tried watching Attack on Titan, and all she kept doing was questioning it and making fun of it. She makes fun of everything I love. Anime, the kinds of music I listen to, the animals I like. And then when I'm talking about moving she expects me to go with her. Naturally, when I'm upset, I usually hide in my room. But I couldn't do that this week because of how many gun owning Trump supporters are in my neighborhood that have threatened me before. So I had to hide in the living room and slept on the couch for a week straight. School. Don't even get me started on school. Freshman year, I took classes that were more relaxing and more fit to my taste. Choir, time management classes, art. My parents called them stoner classes. Then my senior year, I take four AP classes, digital photography, forensics, and a double credit course because I believe that I can manage. And I did. 3.8 gpa. However. Whenever I told my parents I was struggling or upset, they'd always give me hell saying "you chose those classes. Deal with it." And it fucking hurts. I always feel so fucking alone. My other sister always misgenders me, or uses my deadname. And she doesn't even try to correct herself. When she does get my gender right she's loud about it. "SEE LOOK! I USED YOUR PREFERRED PRONOUNS." I always say it's fine when people accidentally misgender me. But it hurts. It really fucking hurts. I was clean for a year. No cutting. So suicidal thoughts. I had therapy. I was taking medication. I was happy. But corona hits and I can't see anyone. I can't escape from the house. I'm surrounded by a family that claims they love me. Yet. My mother is at work all day. I'm grateful that she and dad put food on the table. I'm grateful that they support me for who I am. But mom and dad are rarely "home" dad works from home. But he's holed up in his office. Mom is at work, comes home, drinks a glass of wine and has some dinner before going to bed. My sister makes fun of the things I love and enjoy. My other sister constantly misgenders me and makes fun of my height. I just… I hate it. I had a friend over this weekend. After not seeing friends for literally months. And both of my sisters were grabbing their attention, my youngest sister constantly misgendered them. Actually saying "I'll just call you potato." And when they left I felt like breaking down because I barely got to see them before they had to leave again. I just don't know what to do anymore. I've gone into a depressive spiral, I've lost most of my family over the election. (Mostly my dad's side) I miss my friends, I'm not on medication anymore. I'm not seeing a therapist anymore. It feels like I'm being buried. The only reason it feels like I'm holding on is because of my dog and escaping through anime and roleplaying.
Oh, Bleu, I'm so sorry. I may not be as active as I used to be, and I'm not good at giving advice, but I'll always listen if you ever need to PM someone. I may not respond right away, but I'm here for you
If you need books to read as an escape there are always the ones in public domain that you can read online. You can also find some audio books on YouTube if you don't want to pay for them, your local library should have eBooks as well. Usually Libby works for that actually you can get your library card through libby if you don't have one. My Parents used to get mad when ever I watched anime as well so I tried to limit when I watched it to when they weren't around used my own personal device and used head phones.
Do what ever you can to get out of the house, go on walks, if you have a car just drive around, go to a park. go on a hike do everything you can to get away from the house. Call, like actually call friends when you need to talk so it feels more like you're speaking to some one or face time or zoom, have some sort of interaction other than your family. If you need an excuse say you're going on a run or trying to be more active, anything to shut them up and let you leave.
As for siblings being jerks, I don't know how to help there I'm still struggling with that, all I can say is avoid and ignore. If they start teasing leave the room. It's not what the strategy should be but if you want to avoid confrontation that's the only thing I can see to end it.
Family isn't always right, and family isn't always fun and loving or what it should be, and when it is toxic just like any relationship you need to get out until it's safe. So get out of the house when you can, even if it's just going out on the porch for a bit.
Thank you for the advice. That means a lot.
So I’m so sorry, AFT, Ella, and all my gays going through roughness. I’m not gonna change my stance, but that doesn’t mean I am so sorry for what you have to go through.
@CanIGoBack2BedYet. I am so, so sorry. My PMs are open.
Right now's just one of those times where I look back on stuff I did and think "you really should not have done that, you ruined everything". Good times for sure.
I just got triggered by an english assinsment and now I'm dealing wit dramma, I just want to go sleep. I have a headache and my back is bothering me and I'm so tired of everything
My one class is cancelled. So I thought a half an hour of quiet. But then my mom comes up the stairs at the moment class would start, puts my sister in her room (right beside mine), and says she’ll be in there for a couple of minutes. And now my sister is jumping on her bed.
I was trying to go to sleep last night but my brain was being annoying and panicking for no reason. My brain just decided to be scared for no reason whatsoever, and when I concluded that it was because of my unfinished school assignments, I couldn't get myself to do them so I just kinda sat there while listening to background music until I fell asleep. I ended up with 5 hours of sleep, which isn't to bad, but since I've recently been getting 9 hours of sleep, the dramatic shift has thrown me off of my game today and I just oaskfmfp34fn,m d. In summary: my brain wouldn't stop being a panicky little bitch so now my entire day is just wrong.
So We all know the drama that happened. Deep down I'm not okay. but It'll be fine. I swear if anyone else has that happen to them. PM me and we can rant all throughout. Honestly My mind is blank on what words to describe my feelings.

hey my dude you good?
you can rant to me if you want~~
Wait, did something happen?
Is everybody alright?
Idk apparently that one person with "potato" in their username started some drama and deleted their account because they couldn't deal with their mistake
Yep
Then they came back a half hour later with a new account and claimed their dad deleted it again
share stuff nobody asked you to share
I always contemplate venting here, but then chicken out. So as of now, my vent can be chalked up to life sucks.
I'll keep that in mind. Thank you.
Also being called m'xedy gives me the greatest feeling of joy and I don't know why lmao
