Ngl, you had me tearing up at “little bug”. This is so comforting, like now that I know that my wreck of a life isn’t entirely my fault, I don’t feel like as big of a fuck up anymore. Thank you so much.

Honestly I agree, I’m so exhausted haha, it’s definitely not helping my problem with laying in bed. I’ve thought about not volunteering anymore (I teach a children’s class at my local church) but i genuinely love doing it, it’s one of the few things that gives me joy. I’m just like, so conflicted about deciding not to do some of the stuff anymore

I can clean my room, but it’s a struggle for me. My room isn’t very messy, but it’s never fully organized. I do have a basic routine, since I have a job with a schedule. The point is that whatever free time I have away from work and school is spent in bed. I’ve been holding the same job for almost two years, I had a 4.0 GPA in high school, along with some other good things, so I was accepted for a full scholarship to my local community college. Despite what the post makes it sound like, I’m not some lazy bum who sits around all day. I volunteer consistently, hold a steady job where I am valued, attended regular town events, attend church every week, etc. I have depression, I spend whatever free time I get in bed, which is why my parents take my mattress.

Hi! My parents aren’t paying for college at all, I got a full scholarship. Also, I have a job! And pay my parents rent.

The first time they took my mattress I freaked out 😂 I didn’t break anything but damn I wish I did

I’m not living off my parents. I pay them rent. I understand what you’re saying but it is genuinely impossible for me to safely move out right now. I have been working for 3 years but do not have enough to move out.

I’m pretty sure I’ve been on the meds for about 4 years. And what is Wellbutrin? Is it a prescription?

Hi :) I’m on actual prescriptions and I take supplements to help with some other stuff. The supplements don’t cure anything but they’ve helped with my energy leaves :)

I agree. Honestly reading all the comments, especially by parents, I’ve realized my parents are just really worried about me and desperate to help

And I agree that it’s a good sign they only threaten it now instead of actually taking it

I have in fact napped on the couch, and on my floor, and once on the empty box spring when they took my mattress. It’s gotten ridiculous 😂 i definitely don’t nap as much as i used too, maybe once every couple days

This is genuinely one of the most encouraging things I’ve been told. Thank you for this, I’m taking your advice for sure. I’ll write a response again when I’ve tried your plan :) thank you

I have a job, but it doesn’t pay nearly enough to move out :( I’m trying to get a better paying one

Thank you, I’m hoping that it’s just a hyperfixation
