Hi there

[feeling_blue86]

Hi there, i'm not sure where to start but here it goes.....i feel i'm in a toxic place with my family and its affecting my mental health. I currently don't have a job and am studying at uni. I'm constantly criticized, verbally abused by my mother and sister. Now it's at a point where I want to leave the house and commit suicide. I don't have friends and i'm not married. And all bad stuff my sister and mother said is constantly running in my mind. I just feel so alone and sad.

Hi feelingblue86,

I'm so proud of you for your courage and bravery for sharing this today. I'm really sorry to hear that your family has been treating poorly, I want to let you know that you will be okay. It's hard, it's tough, reaching that low where you feel like giving up on everything. The chance to change will come to you, but taking the step to share how you've been feeling is a really good start. I'm sorry you have to stay with that toxic energy in your lifestyle, please remember that you are more than the words they say. I wanted to ask if you were willing to find somewhere else to start living, a distant relative or perhaps finding a roommate. There are also some coping strategies you can take, meditating, taking a walk, keeping a journal and much more. Find what works best for you.

You are going to be okay. Your mind will not get the best of you. We are all here for you. Stay safe,

Pumba

Hi feeling blue.Glad u have come to this site. u will find plenty of friends here and help as well. i am replying to u as i have been in a similiar situation so i hope i can offer u some help. being on this site has helped me as there is help every where. wat r u studying at uni ? my step mum came into my life wen i was 8 yrs old and even though she knew about me she resented me from day one. no matter wat i did it was never good enough. so i can relate to wat u r going through all though i never had a sibling doing it as well. Pumba had some good advice finding a flatmate would b a good start to a new life. i have been doing some mediating for some time now and find it helps to relax but u do have to work on it as wen u r meditating sometimes u will find ur self going back ti negitive thoughts. even during the day if u can catch ur self haveing negitive thoughts and can stop and have positive thoughts ( think of a place that makes u smile and laugh) then that goes a long way to beating negitive thoughts. i was just wondering do u feel ur mum and sister gets some sort of pleasure out of wat there doing. some people will put others down just to make themselves feel better about themselves. u said u dont have any friends and i was wondering y. i know i kept to myself at school because of my home life and was going to suggest if that was the case wen u go to uni next leave that person at home and be the person u want to b at uni . laugh have fun mix with people and b confident in wat u do. ur mum and sister r say nasty things about u but remember that they r just words and let them run off u like water on a ducks back. wen i medetate i breath in positive energy out negitive energy. also i like celtic music nice and soothing . you have lots of friends here and remember u r a important person and it dosent matter a hoot wat any body else says. time to think about u (it may sound selfish) but sometimes u have to b.if u have a goal go out and get it because this is about u not anybody else . we all care about u here .please no more horrible thoughts. think about things u would like to do that make u happy . oh have u asked around at uni about a flat mate. u r not alone here and more smiles please. love from me and everyone here
