I am tired of feeling stuck with no way of doing anything because I live in the middle of nowhere and I have to move out of this house. I just play my games and watch anime because actually committing with moving out of my house is too impractical and scary (also there are no homeless shelters in my area).
Edit: Turns out a bus route is relatively close, so I can take a bus to a city (probably), but what place should I go to? A homeless shelter?
Can you go back to school? I’m aware you don’t want to do that, and I know it stinks and is full of liberal BS, but you will gain useful skills.
It was so mentally taxing that I collapsed and have not been able to recover to the state before I entered college. Also, my parents would just force themselves into my life every chance they got if I follow what they wanted.
Is a compromise possible? “I’ll go back if I can change my major.”
I have no major I want to pursue anymore.
I have no other suggestions.
Wishing you the best.
You are okay. That’s important. Living in the middle of nowhere sucks. If you can hang on, people may need you soon. I will never forget a time when I was inches away from winning but gave up and lost the race. Don’t do that. Do what it takes to keep yourself strong as long as it doesn’t hurt anyone. Be ready.
Seems hard to believe that sometimes because no one I know lives near me, but I will try to hang on.
Music and hobbies help me when I’m feeling overly isolated. I think at the moment my favourite song is the communist have the music by they might giants. What is your’s?
I like the Internationale for obvious reasons (Mandarin and Russian are my favorite) and I also like various pieces of video game music (Limbus Company and Arknights). I think I should focus on planning out my next steps.
I love the Russian version of the international, Onimusha demo is closest that I’ve played recently to those games recently, do you have any idea what city you would like to be in?
One that has a homeless shelter or access to free housing, but neither are likely to exist near me in America.
Hello - I don’t want to DM you out of the blue. Are you in the US? I’m depressed and living with my (emotionally abusive) parents in the suburbs again, so I understand you and want you to know that you’re not alone. I’m trying to make an escape plan to give myself something to work towards so I don’t feel like I’m living without purpose. Sorry if this is strange, but would you want to brainstorm an escape plan together? You don’t have to struggle alone :) be well
Have you considered reporting their emotional abuse to authorities?
Also, if you wish to message me in the future, keep in mind that I am easily triggered by mentions of child harm and abuse in general.
I am a grown adult, living for free in their home. I am doing my best to quietly save money, move out, and cut contact, even if temporarily. It’s a very complex relationship and living situation but my parents are troubled, but good people, and I still love them. Thank you for your concern.
Also thank you for the heads up - I will absolutely keep that in mind. :)
Yes, I do live in America (in Florida, unfortunately), and I really hate how the Supreme Court kind of ruined homeless people sleeping outdoors (read up on it), so sleeping outside is not an option. What sort of plan do you have in mind? I think you should tell your plan first.
I am going to DM you!
Oki :>
