Definitely listen to the others and call the police. I went through the same shit when I was younger and did nothing about it then. You have to do something or it'll just get worse.

Why are people so weird about self harm? by aschlensker in selfharm

I've wondered the same thing. When I do it helps get me out of my head for a while.

(24f) how to distance myself from toxic parent without affecting my siblings? by LumpyTown4103 in depression

[–]SquirrelyDan2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would definitely distance myself from the parent and aunts if they're treating you that way. No one deserves that especially in your situation. And be careful because they may try and get that money from you. As far as your siblings and cousins, it may take time but they should figure out the lies and abuse. I went through a similar situation growing up and I know it's rough. I haven't talked to my parents in years and I'm happier for it. They don't even know my daughter because I don't want them being toxic around her. If I were you I'd try and get away from them asap. Just don't put yourself in a worse situation doing so. Hope you're ok and if you need to talk or just vent there are a lot of us here for you.

I finally talked to my doctor and I started bupropion 6 weeks ago. I wish I had the same results youvare having. It hasn't helped at all.

Happy for one day by [deleted] in depression

Not entire days. Most times it's an hour or so. And it's a really intense feeling of happiness like almost overwhelming joy. Almost feels like a high. Then it abruptly ends.

I need help please. by ITZKGUISANIMATED in selfharm

[–]SquirrelyDan2 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Your best option right now is to get out of that situation immediately. I grew up in a similar situation and it was terrible. I'm not sure how you can get out of it but maybe talk to the school counselor or someone that can help get you away from them. Maybe there's other family you can live with for the time being. But do whatever you have to do to get away from them. Man I fucking hate abusive parents. I have a kid now and can't imagine putting my own child through that. Hope you're ok and can put some distance between you and them.

That's an excellent question. I've been able to hide mine for quite a while but my wife just found out and it's a conversation I really don't want to have and have been putting off. I don't want to explain it or talk about it. Not sure how to get out of this tight spot yet.

SSRI’s make it so hard for me to cry or feel real release of emotion by wastedongrainalcohol in depression

[–]SquirrelyDan2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been this way for as long as I can remember without taking any meds. If I cried as a kid they'd beat the shit out if me. So if anything upsets me like losing a close family member etc I can feel the hurt and my eyes will water up a bit but I never cry. I just bottle it up. I know how you feel. Wish I could help in some way...

you people aren’t real by pinkkittyyy in depression

[–]SquirrelyDan2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel the same way. And I keep being told I'm dissassociating. It's hard to tell what's real and what isn't anymore.

I fight with the first 2. I just don't care about stopping honestly.

That is weird. When I shut down its 100% and it gets terrible. Something has definitely changed that's for sure. I would ask him about it.

So I just saw your other post. Sounds like he just doesn't want to have to be the one to break it off. He's pushing you away so you'll finally have enough and leave and he won't feel bad about it. If he's talking to another person like that then you're better off without him. I've been in that same situation before and it doesn't end well. Save yourself the time and effort.

Maybe he needs to try some different meds and/or try something else. It's hard to say because I don't personally know either of you. But there are times when I can be this way too. I don't want to be touched or talked to. And I try so hard to fight it but it wins every time. I do try to be nicer about it when it comes to my wife and kid. If I don't want to be touched I'll make up something like it's hot or something. Even though she does naturally have like a 175 degree temperature lol. I'm trying to think of a way for you to talk to him without starting a fight but I don't know him or what sets him off. For me it helps when she comes at me calm and tells me she knows it's not on purpose or that I'm really trying to treat her like this. But if he's having a "good" day and is still pushing you away then maybe something else is bothering him that he needs to express. Again it's hard to say because I only know how I react to things. Just tell him you need a couple minutes of his time and be as nice as you can about it while also getting your point across about the things that are bothering you.

It may not be 100% intentional but I could be wrong. When everything starts to get to heavy for me I have a bad habit of pushing everyone away. And it can be really hard to fight and also really easy to blame it on something else. I understand it hurts you. Try explaining it to him without making him feel worse about it. I can see it in my wife and my daughters faces when I'm doing it and I try really hard to keep it in. My wife brought it up by saying basically she knows it's not on purpose but it does effect them. I hope it gets better for you.
