Re: rough time

@outlanderit is ok to be frustrated at your life, at you family.

I know you have struggled in the friendship part.....and having us on here is not the same as irl.....I know that.

I did see you asked on FB about any art groups near you. Can you do a google search of any groups near you at all. You might have already done this.

Re: rough time

having you guys here is great, theres no doubts about that but in a way id love to be able to go catch up with someone over coffee for an hr or so to fill in the day. @Former-Member ive done heaps of seraches. the closest one near me is 2 hrs away and its a waste of petrol and time for an hrs session. ive looked on fb, and ive looked through google as well. its not just art either. alot of the time i have to be in the mood to go and do the art and in a way i can see my getting there, getting frustrated and things go flying all over the place or i just dont care and stop trying just as ive done now.

why does life have to be so shite. ill have to baby sit tomorrow and that just makes everything else worse becasue its not something i enjoy having to constantly do it. im really just over everything.

@outlander

I know it is not the same as catching up with someone for a coffee and chat and having that connection in real life. You are allowed to be over it.

It does anger me too that you are expected to look after your sisters all the time. But I know your mum doesn;t listen to you and you feel stuck there.

Re: rough time

its not jsut my sisters, its everything. @Former-Member i just want to be normal. i know define normal. but anything but the way i am has got to be better than this. the world has to be more than taking care of pop, taking care of my sisters, trying to keep my shit together all the time. worrying about finances, trying to be anything that im not. and yet when i think about meeting people i self doubt so much because i find it extremley hard to talk to people, to trust people.

even tomorrow im looking after the youngest feral as the other ones with friends. and i have to go do a few things for mum.

i dont know what i want to do, anything but be here. i just want to be someone else 😞

@hear your frustration @outlander,sitting in my room with similar thoughts,my mother is on the phone to my niece who is getting married that I'm not invited to and I had to close the door because it triggers me and brings out the frustration and anger that we share on this forum. Try and plan something when school returns,that's the time I enjoy,and give yourself something to look forward to.

Re: rough time

@outlanderI am hearing you hun.....it is so hard to live how we do, to not get a break, so deal with it day in day out....I understand.

I think that is one of the questions I ask myself, how do I keep going?

I don't have any answers for you, wish I did....but am hearing you and are here with you

Re: rough time

@Former-Member it really annoys the crap out of me. i try not to let my mh hold me back but yet it does. i dont know is anyone has any answers really except for keep trudging along as best we can. but my best doesnt feel enough and i dont know where else i can be doing more

@Former-Member thats the thing i dont even know what to do. i dont really think about it. i want to study but i cant really think of that right now. i just want to get out and about. these are the times i wish i was still in school and can go right back and do basically everything different and keep some of my friends i had there when i had them

Re: rough time

I misread what you said, i thought you meant you tried something and it screwed up.
Nevermind.

In response to: Re: rough time

Re: rough time

thats ok @MDT i did sort of- i tried drawing etc and got angry and frustrated at myself for not being able to do it

In response to: rough time

Re: rough time

Understand, I want to study but haven't the money ATM,hope end of Feb via online. Would be good for you to meet people with similar interest in Art.I don't want friends @outlander ,have no trust but do like going out on my own.
Can understand, been like it with my mother all my life,and your mother needs to respect the fact you are 21,and need to be allowed this time to grow otherwise she is hindering your potential.
Try and plan something @outlander,to get a life away for a day or few hrs a week besides caring for your pop, to have something to have just for you.
