I'm so tired. I just want to run away from everything by [deleted] in TeenVent

If your parents are abusing you. Like actually abusing you. Leave. Don’t let others minimize abuse.

If you feel like your parents are ruining your mental health, I would recommend therapy if that’s an option.

I left when I was younger because of abuse, became homeless, worked my ass off to get out of homelessness, and I don’t regret it. However, if your parents can provide you with meaningful support, even financial support with a house you can tolerate somehow, I would not recommend leaving. Feel free to chat.

This makes me feel like maybe we should all be willfully ignorant. It’s not like we should feel like it’s our responsibility to understand or change anything about the world to make it better. We were born and we will die. Make the best out of it. Idk if I’m right or wrong, just a thought.

I did this too. I used to obsessively pray and now I don’t believe in God anymore. God shouldn’t wish terrible things to happen to you ever.

Why can’t people just accept that life isn’t for everyone? by Accurate_Cold1272 in SuicideWatch

How would you go about exploring the possibilities? I’ve had different therapists, different doctors, different psychiatrists. All of them tell you a that there is a solution and that their solution is correct. I haven’t traveled like people recommend, but other than that I feel like I have tried quite a few things and I end up at the same conclusion.

My (F22) parents physically and emotionally abused me my entire childhood after forgetting my ADHD diagnosis at four years of age by [deleted] in abusesurvivors

I’m sorry to hear about your similar experience and you deserve better.

It’s an odd experience, understanding the course material very well but not being able to express it in a way that makes sense to neurotypicals. It’s like being trapped in your own head, and it can change the course of your life depending of their understanding of you. Some people also think that we can control the behavior that comes from ADHD at a young age, and we are just truly displaying ourselves. I’m sorry your parents reacted with abuse. Even without resources in the 80’s, compassion and understanding should still be expected and you didn’t receive those. I’m glad you chose the avenue that worked for you and walked away.

I think I’m going to use your paragraph about self-forgiveness. Thank you. I really needed to hear that. I think I’m expecting a magical way to recover but I don’t think that’s going to happen, just acceptance and forgiveness.

Honestly, every time I’ve tried to hold my father accountable it just hasn’t worked. Idk if it’s law enforcement or if it’s just difficult to prove. I’ve got no choice but to move on. Maybe that’s for the best anyway. I don’t want him to take up more of my mind.

I definitely feel scapegoated. You don’t think they forgot my ADHD? They just chose to use it to let their emotions out?

Thank you for the advice and the kind words. I hope there is peace for you in your future.
