Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8

We will always be our " mum's little girls " at any age 😁

How are things going @Blackbird11?

Yeah I know, but still @Shaz51

Anyway, I finally have the house on my own. Dad has just left for work and Mum is going into the city and then to Coles. I have to work on my assignment, but I want to cry as well. I haven't cried since the 19th so it's been a while. I feel if I don't I could explode lol. It's like I'm suffocating here.

Hi @creative_writer

How are you?

Hey anyone around @Shaz51 @Blackbird11 @tyme @Melbcoffeesnob @Snowie

Hi @RiverSeal

How are you?

Are you still in QLD?

Hey @Birdofparadise8, I'm well thanks and back in Melbourne now. How is Hobart and your parents going? Take care RiverSeal

That's good to hear. Are you happy to be back @RiverSeal?

Was your flight delayed at all? My uncle and aunt flew back Thursday night and didn't get home until 1 am. Their flight was supposed to be at 8 pm but they didn't leave until 10 pm. I hope my flight isn't delayed next week. My parents and I are flying in the moring.

Eh taking it day by day. Yesterday I had food poisoning so that wasn't very fun.

Today Mum wouldn't stop telling me to get dressed. it was a bit of a shock seeing I don't have anyone in Melbourne telling me what to do. I really don't like how much I'm suppressing my emotions. I really want to cry, but I can't. I'm just around them constantly. I feel like I'm suffocating and that I might burst. I just hope that on Friday night as I'll be staying in my room for the last night that I want have a massive thing of emotions since I haven't cried since the 19th of December and I normally cry every day if not every few days because of how messed up I am.

Yes @Birdofparadise8 very happy to be back and in my own space again. Melbourne is my home and I feel myself when I am here.

No flight delays fortunately as I flew today before work! Hopefully you don't get delayed when you return.

In my experience parents don't stop parenting as we get older as we are still their child and they feel a responsibility towards us. Many people have challenges with their parents as they get older and we have to learn how to manage our lives as adults with them. It sounds tough with your mum when you are used to your own independence in Melbourne though.

What did you think about the journalling app that we discussed last week? As a way of expressing your emotions in writing when you feel restricted. You could then read them when you are back in Melbourne and express your emotions how you feel.

Take care
