hi

hi 🙂 I dont know if I'm doing this right. But I just joined tonight - and I really just want to let things off my chest. I'm struggling with depression and my family. Feel like I can't do anything to help it. I have been to psychologists and everything to sort out depression, but it's just coming back up again.

I am a younge adult still living at home, and working a little (less cause of covid).

It's really just my step mum. She has been in my life for all I can remember and she manages to hurt my emotions every day, and I can't talk back or do anything about it. I have tried multiple times to talk to my dad or her directly, but it does nothing. And I have depression and anxiety about it and her now. It's developed to me being very hesitant when she's around me.

I just am so sick of always feeling depressed because of her and not being able to do anything. I just want to move away from her as quickly as I can.

I feel like a burden on my friends when all I talk about is my step mum, so I just don't talk to them about her.
