Nothing in life is going my way...literally nothing.

[Guest_85871854]

20 years into life feels like I have lived 20 decades. I am constantly stressed out due to living in a noisy, unsafe neighborhood, i was verbally assaulted by them too last year. No matter how much I seek help from strata, council, and other neighbors, nothing has helped. Literally nothing quietens the bloody people that live around me.

I despise staying home, my parents and I do not have a good relationship and being around them worsens my mental health. I spend my days just being out and coming back to sleep at home at 10 pm. I have applied for housing and submitted all my documents, but my case manager has not reached out to me in a long time now. Despite being newly employed, I barely get shifts and as I am someone who wants to move out thru rent choice youth, it is so much more complex. I lost my job in december, 2023 and I just got a job this month, and the lack of shifts make me feel useless and unemployed.

Things just have been so slow, crappy, and bad for me. Stress is getting me to the point that I have chronic headaches and nosebleeds, and my GP asked me to do a MRI.  All i want is just a good, consistent job that does not affect my uni timetable and helps me save some money to escape my noisy, abusive household. I used to be highly religious and since stuff has been severely low for me, I am literally agnostic. I just feel so hopeless and lost on life.

Dear new member~

Welcome here to the Forum. It sounds life is being very hard at the moment and a struggle. Difficult parents, a dangerous and noisy neighborhood and a job that does not give you all you need. All are hard.

Several things struck me reading you account. You are not a person that just gives up and lets things happen. You have tried all the sensible actions in relation ot your neighborhood, you have sought medical advice over stress, and you study at uni -and have work (even if not enough)

Seeing your GP about the stress, headache and nosebleeds is very sensible, and your doctor is on  the ball, suggesting that physical reasons be looked for first. It might be very unfortunate if something physical was missed and not treated.

Once that is out the way your doctor can start to treat you, or recommend another to treat you to help you cope. I had the same sort of problems -headaches and all the rest. Actually it was a right nuisance as the Center kept changing doctors and they all want ot start investigations from scratch again -tedious and time-wasting. Fortunately things settled down, I"m receiving long term treatment, and can cope a lot better, even be happy.

May I ask how long you have to go to graduate?

The other thing I'd like to ask is if you have any personal support? It sounds as if your parents are out, do you have any other family or friend you can talk to? All they  have to do listen and care.

I hope to be able to talk with you some more
