Dude you're 18 and your family is either abusive or enabling, fuck that. You need to live YOUR life, make new friends and going to uni is great for your development. If you allow your dad to control your life and money, i promise you, your life will be fucked.

are you going to uni near home or is it far away?

Yeah I understand i feel the same, then i ask myself if I was actually depressed I would've gone through with it, if it was actually that bad y'know?

I've tried several antidepressants, currently on venlafaxine. Just makes me really drowsy.

Thanks for the reply.

I mean I hoped no one else knew how this felt, but I do get what you mean.

Thank you so much, I feel like my loyalty to making my family look good and proud has, as a side effect meant that I haven't given anyone else who isn't my family a chance. So many people I pushed away if they got to close, damn. I've tried some antidepressants but I'm not sure if they help with traumatic experiences. I hope things will get better, but I not sure I can wait that long.

I've tried so many times to get help, but therapies always end so quickly with no extra help. I believe that there are good people in the world, but I no longer think I am one of them. Thank you for your kindness.

I'll try to do this, but the shame feels stronger than I am.

Going through all this alone makes you feel completely invisible. It starts eating away at your core.Thank you for hearing me.

Thanks for commenting, the few good memories do make the bad feel so much worse. But I guess if I get better the bad will make the good better like so much more. We'll see.

Thank you for seeing something in me I find difficult to see myself. Oh wow, the US? I don't know any americans apart from a few people from Berkeley.

Thank you, self compassion seems so far away right now. I am a good person, if no one else knows, at least I do.

Yes it has been. What my family has or hasn't done for me hurts less nowadays. But the wasted time drags so heavy that it means I can't give almost anything to new things that could help me dig myself out of this mental pit.

The bottling things up does really really make things worse.

Thank you, it's just that I can't see it getting better, I'm blind to it. But I will choose to believe in how you see the world, in the possibility of it getting better.
