I know that this probably doesnĀ“t belong in this community, however IĀ“ve got bassically noone to talk with and with those I could talk with about this problem, I donĀ“t want to because IĀ“m feared that if I show weakness or that if expose my struggles to my friends, that they will have a different view on me.
I have the feeling that my family and the society form me into a person that I donĀ“t want to be. My life is marked by injustices that I can barely influence. The most obvious and most hurting of these injustices is my relationship with my family and how IĀ“m being reviewed by my parents. Basically since my birth IĀ“m standing in the shadow of my sister. My parents value education very high. Although I got better grades, I am much more sportif than she is and that I got a very good social life IĀ“m being reviewed as the failure in the family. Every argument, every complicated situation is turned into me being the problem. I donĀ“t know why my parents do that. Everytime I try to communicate the way I feel about this, my mother tends to ignore me. And she does that in a very obvious way. She just switches the topic like asking me what I will cook today or if I could clean the house, showing me that she really doesnĀ“t give a shit about how IĀ“m feeling. And if I tell her that she should stop ignoring me, she listens to what IĀ“m saying, nods her head and just says: "Okay.". And thatĀ“s all. She never responds, showing me (again) that she doesnĀ“t care about me at all. And I seriously donĀ“t get that.
I always had the perception that parents are supposed to make you feel loved, but somehow my parents make me feel like shit, which IĀ“d like to think I am not. I am not shit. I feel like they should be proud of me but instead they push me down.
I overcame depression all by myself. IĀ“m disabled since my birth but never made a thing out of it. I basically beared every challange life has giving me ALONE. ThatĀ“s why I think IĀ“m a strong person and I donĀ“t get why my parents donĀ“t view me as such. I just want them to be proud of me. And IĀ“m giving my all. IĀ“m trying my hardest but they donĀ“t recognize my effort, neither my results.
And thatĀ“s why the urge to just give a fuck, drink much alcohol, smoke and hurt anyone that bothers me is so tempting.
I donĀ“t want to hurt me or others but itĀ“s really hard to not do so.
ItĀ“s just that I really really want to become a better human being but that the circumstances are holding me back. Everything seems to be working against me and I donĀ“t know how long I can withstand the urge to destroy myself and everything in my environment.
