Family life..

[Tinkerbell424]

Lately, I haven't been getting along well with my mom, or anyone in my family for that matter. It's come to the point where I can't sleep at night from the stress and when I wake up in the morning, I force myself to sleep until it hurts. When I finally can't sleep anymore I'll leave my room for a bit but then just go right back in there for the remainder of the day/night. I do school online and do my work around midnight so I'm covered for the next day. I only have another year until I can move out though, so I'm counting down the days.. I just really hate the atmosphere here.

SO, I was wondering if anyone can relate? Any advice?
Do you have a good relationship with your family?

I hope this thread doesn't offend anyone.. I'm just trying to get thoughts & opinions.

Sorry. Don't have an advice to give but...



Hope the hugs help.

I don't really have any advice, but I'm sorry things aren't so great for you right now <3

I get along with my family pretty well (my dad gets on my nerves a lot but nothing serious). My mom's been in the hospital for a month, and will be in at least until Friday (but it will probably get extended).

The weird thing is- life at home hasn't been any different and I don't really miss her, which makes me feel kinda awful.
Anyways.. that was totally unrelated, sorry

Ah, thanks.

I'm sorry about your mom. I hope everything is okay!

I have a pretty good relationship with both my immeadiate and extended family. Except my sister and I are like day and night but we still get along. My dad annoys me often but it's nothing big.

I'm sorry things are like that for you Lexi. You don't deserve it.

I don't really have any advice, but my mother & I are definitely not close. We argue a lot over pathetic stuff, and I feel like I can tell my friends' parents more than I can tell her. It's strange.. But I mean, I love her, because she's my mum, I just wish stuff wasn't as awkward between us.

That's good LE.

I'm sorry you and your mom aren't close. I use to be really close to my mom, but these past 3 years have changed a lot of things between us. I don't really talk to her much, specifically since she's so concerned with her own problems. I ended up talking to my sister for 2 hours last night because she went through most of the things I'm going through now. :/ I wish things were different.

I'm sorry.. I guess it's good you can talk to your sister about it. You know where I am if you need to talk.

Hey! hope this helps! remember that any relationship is a two way road. sounds like yours needs some fixing. you really need to sit sown with someone you trust, like a good friend, who has seen the problem, and ask them what they think the root of the whole thing is. (but maybe if the are to close, they may be afraid of offending you and not tell you all they think. ). maybe a relative would be a good choice....
So, as far as your two way road, YOU (PLEASE don't get offended by this!!!) may be the one who needs to bend. maybe you oughta just sit down with the one you have the most trouble with and ask them what they see in you that hurts, annoys, or angers them, and vice-versa. then you can work together to fix it!! I'm praying for you!

Feeling THAT bad because of stress is really unhealthy. Is there anyway you could talk to your parents about seeing a therapist? you seem to have a lot of anxiety.

I have talked to my sister about it and she told me that when she was my age she went through most of the things I am. The root of all these problems is my brother and past events that have occured. But thankyou! I will remember this.

I could ask my mom. My best friend also suggested this. Thanks Shelby!

I talked to my mom, and she told me that seeing someone will be the last thing I should try to do. She wants me to try running, yoga, meditation, etc. to see if that helps before I even think of speaking to someone about this.

But thank you anyway!

thats good you spoke to your mum about it! i always find that talking about things always makes me feel better. My mum always tells me that exercise makes you feel better, as it releases things into your brain that make you feel better. I did yoga once, and its quite funny actually, because when you do it with friends and you see everyone doing the funny poses, it just gives you a huge smile!

I hope everything works out well
