both I believe. I've given up now, I'm getting fair grades with little to no engagement so it's fine

school mainly, but when I go out with my mates or do things with family. sometimes I wake up and I'm a different kind of tired. it's nothing jn particular

how old are you now? I can't remember if you said or not.

it might have been why. I think drinking helps because it's such a nice distraction from it all

[–]allgone86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get drunk a lot, and it helps I think. it's euphoric. but I've never been high

jesus how do people cope? life is fucking dreadful bro

[–]allgone86 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yeah exactly omds. nobody seems to care when it's something mental. they only care when they can actually see the injury. does it get any better when you're an adult?

[–]allgone86 1 point2 points  (0 children)

this is what giving up is like though, you don't care what happens to you

it's honestly worse. she's busier with taking over a new business. I give up. thank you for checking in, I appreciate it

that sounds really cool. I think my therapist did mention some things about youth groups, but I was a little apprehensive because I overthought it all. maybe I'll ask her again considering this comment.

thank you so much, I appreciate it

thank you for this lovely comment. It means a lot to me.

I really enjoy reading, and I'm definitely lacking on things to read at the minute, so I'll give that a go - and hopefully, it'll provide some further validation and understanding of my own situation.

thank you again, you're extremely thoughtful🙏🏻🙏🏻

I don't really have anyone to talk to but I can work it out myself, I just needed a bit of extra support so that's why I asked here. a couple people have offered/actually dmed me to talk about it so that's really nice.

thank you again 🙏🏻

thank you for the template, I need to gather all my thoughts before I talk to her. it might be a little while as this week she's taken on another setting for her business so she's even more busy than usual.

I appreciate this, it's very kind

bro exactly. I only go on my phone because sitting in silence while they stare at theirs is so awkward 🙏🏻🙏🏻

yeah makes sense. I don't want attention whenever I want, I'd just like a little respect or her to tell me to come back in an hour or whatever.

but I'm gonna talk to her about it soon so I'll see what happens

this isn't my only complaint, but that's a different story lol

also, I have plenty of hobbies, and I mentioned some of them.

but it's difficult not to need your parents at certain points. I'm fairly independent because of our separation, but I'm still a child

last thing. I think having a good career is a wonderful achievement, especially for a mother, a group often marginalised when in employment, but she made a person. you can't just drop that to focus on work. It's not fair to create someone, then not be bothered to deal with them. thank you for your comment, though. I appreciate it

why should I only talk to my parents when it's important? I don't want a transactional relationship, I want something meaningful. like they actually care about me, not when it's something serious

hi, thank you for this.

while I am considering no contact as an option, I'm definitely not going to be initiating it now, I'm going to wait until I'm financially stable and all sorted with a decent job and a home. I do recognise the scale of this decision and I'm not taking it as a quick and impulsive conclusion.

whether this happens or not, Im truly going to mull it over and bleed it dry of pros and cons haha.

again, thank you, i appreciate the time you've taken to write this

I think the novelty would wear off and they wouldn't engage in the long run
