10. hard 10. that's my whole family, (from my mother's side, my father was an alcoholic so my family stopped respecting him and even though he's recovered they refuse to accept that he's okay now) but mostly my mother.
i literally cannot bring up even a word about mental illness or depression because i'm immediately shut down like you're just doing it for attention, you're a hypochondriac, you're fine or even you don't have real problems so you come up with fake ones.
i've even started to feel guilty when i talk to my friends about it because of how much my mother tells me that i'm faking it, and then she says that it's my fault because i never tell her about any of my problems
how far does this have to go for her to understand that something is wrong? i've attempted suicide before, and it's because i think i have schizophrenia (i came to that conclusion when she snapped at me in an argument once, and i connected all the dots and realised that my symptoms are probably schizophrenia (also my grandfather had it so i'm genetically prone.
when she asks me what if you don't have schizophrenia? then i tell her that maybe it's depression or something else, and then, i shit you not, she says you're saying that you have schizophrenia and depression, what's next? dementia? you're telling me you have so many illnesses and i'm not, i'm just saying maybe it's this, maybe it's that, there's something definitely wrong, but i don't know what so i'm just guessing
i've had suicide on my mind more and more recently it feels like there's nothing i can do. i hate to self-diagnose but i have most of the symptoms of schizophrenia and every arrow is pointing towards it. it's going so fast that i'm having delusions, and recently i've had some (minor, but still) hallucinations
problem is i don't want to reach out to a professional because i've got trust issues/paranoia (and trauma from opening up to my mother, it's like the never again meme)
i'm losing everything, i can see my mental state breaking down, by the time i hit 18 i'm probably going to be dead or in a mental hospital. i'm just looking for something to keep me going, even my passions and hobbies don't make me happy anymore
i was physically unable to cry for over 2 months, i've never been able to properly smile, i have almost no empathy whatsoever, and my i have big issues expressing and reading emotions
everything is slipping away
i'm scared man
i don't want to go like this, i just want to live a normal life
the thought that i'm going to go insane terrifies me, and the fact that i sometimes think my mother doesn't love me hurts
so much

Whenever I had a plan to better myself, my parents made excuses why I shouldn't go with it. and i believed them! But now they are very good at criticizing me why I havnt done anything with my life. if I'm done wrong by someone or somebody they make excuses instead of taking the side of their own child. 10 years ago I met a girl at the bank that liked me after waiting 35 years for it to happen, but I didn't have the nerve to ask her for coffee or such. and she got transfered by the time I did build up the nerve! So I'm at my parents upset kicking & screaming a little over the situation. . And they told me What do you want a Girlfriend for? So you can kick and scream at her like your doing Here? And told me to grow up and act my age, because she might have not even liked you, and your getting worked up over nothing! . And 6 years ago I asked my father why he doesn't ever want to do anything with me. He told me because we don't have much in common. So I left their place a 45 year old man crying spinning the wheels on my car leaving their street! Neighbors must of thought I'm nuts! I always thought just being their son should be enough. About a month ago they just flat out stopped talking to me period. Could this be a sign of mental illness? I'm ready to just call it quits and go my separate ways. They never ever consider my feelings. Only how i make them feel. What they have taught me though is when and if I ever get a girlfriend, I know exactly what and what not to do with the raising of my family.

I knew the answer to this question was yes before watching this video my parents got divorced when I was 3 and up till I was 8 I got to live with my dad who was awesome but when I was 8 my mother took custody and moved us to the other side of the country with my step dad who was the worst human being I've ever met my mother was for lack of a better wording statue like never showed a hint of emotion and always put a lot of pressure on me Your my only child that talks to me so your my only hope for grandkids I can be a grandmother with then there was my step dad who basically wanted to literally killed me and often threatened that the nicest thing that man ever said to me was Ill break your hands if you keep looking down while typing (I had to write a book report so I typed it out on the family pc) the only person who made me feel loved was my father who died the year I started high-school now at 27 years old I can tell you I'm a complete and total mental mess because my mother had no right to be a parent what so ever

I can relate to the emotional connection one. Whenever I come home from school and I tell my mom or dad that I aced a science test or whatever it may be, they say good job or nice in an extremely monotone way making me feel like I didn't accomplish anything. Or if I ever talk about things that they do that make me feel depressed they discard it and make up an excuse about how it is my fault. Like you chose to feel this way or we didn't do anything for you to act that way. And at the same time, they expect me to be happy and wonder why I am so angry at them. I know this because I am perfectly happy at school but not at home. Can anyone relate?

why can't you be like ________
No, my house my rules, you want to do this, then leave.
I don't have time
Your too young to be depressed '
You've suffered nothing
It's all because of the gadgets
A lot of parents would overwork their kids, for example, them getting a 97% on their test, and the parent is mad because it's not 100.
Or blaming, parents who keep blaming the kid, make the kid want to isolate themselves. They don't want to see them, because they know everything they do is wrong in their eyes.
I'll give my future children the opportunity my parents never gave me.

5. Hmmm never mind your kind of overweight.

My parents make me scared and feel useless, I cant control my emotions anymore because I cant express them at home anymore. Anytime my stepmom looks at me a certain way it makes me want to cry. Anytime she wants to talk to me either alone in her room or alone in my room, my first thought is what did I do wrong this time and Im always scared. Im at a point where Im so glad Ill be 18 and graduating from high school soon so I can move out. I dont even want to stay in the same country.

So my parents allowed me to and the second I was abt to leave they pile a bunch of random work onto me and then say I cant go. And my parents are the type of parents who will have so much fun with one sibling then do nothing with you like i clean the entire house while my brother just makes a bigger mess

One thing my mom always says that sort of breaks me is Oh shut up BE HAPPY, what do you have to be sad about! And more, constant confusion with each other and then using my coping as a way to say your fine, get over it, it will pass or just make the issue worse and make me wish I never said anything.

It is the CRUSHING expectations for me personally, they want me to believe and do as they do, the religous expectations are the worst part, and I know that its hard to realize that your doing this and I don't want to hurt them and I don't know how they would react if I told them how I REALLY felt.

Earlier I told my dad why I didn't want to go or school tomorrow because I was tired, burned out and because of my anxiety but he only addressed my sleep which wasn't the problem. I was emotionally and physically tired because of my anxiety. So he didn't even help when now, I need it.

Sometimes I feel like I have to sacrifice my own happiness for my parents so I don't get in trouble. After doing this for a couple years, my life feels miserable, but luckily my friends have been helping me out and cheering me up! Just wanted to share this

My mother symbolizes #3 and #10. My step-dad likes to challenge me and create arguments with me after invalidating my feelings. And he can because I'm 13 and 13-year-olds don't have depression and mental health problems unless they're being beat on.

Yea, but how do you get that toxic parent out of your life?
I literally don't care if I need both parents, if one Is mean I don't want to hang out with them.
So how do I politely tell them to stop talking to me?
