I'm Losing It
"What can I do?"
This question is constantly circling my head.
My mind is full of depression and I am doing all I can to cope with it.
Plus this with my dysfunctional family, and that I HAVE to think off comebacks and just mouth off in general to bullies, and put on a front to my friends. It's all too hard for me.
My sisters constantly argue non-stop, my brother is bone f*****g idle (and HFA), and he doesn't know when he does wrong as he mouths off and abuses me, my sisters, and my mum. My mum is clinically depressed herself and at times can't take much more of this s**t that we're all going through.
I feel like I'm going f*****g insane!
I do all I can to help my mum, and she is very grateful. When she goes on rants and raves she knows I'm not doing any wrong, so she excludes me as she rants with how "us kids" do f**k all.
I just want to move out NOW! But I aint old enough. My mind feels like it'll f*****g explode. As I'm writing this, my mum's rowing with 1 of my sisters, and everyone else has got the ache, and my mum has now just locked herself in her room.
Plus our 2 doggies that need looking after.
I'm sick and tired of this dysfunction. Sure, I know where not the nuclear family, but can I go 1 day without any harm, grief, or aggravation?!
"What can I do?!"
You must feel so helpless, trying not to make things worse and not being able to make things better! I was in a similar situation but only with my parents, so it wasn't as severe. This is a house full of suffering people... your clinically-depressed mother needs to get out, talk to someone whio truly cares, and up her dosage or something.
If you need some positive stimulation, or just a friend to take your mind off it all, you can PM me. ![]()

My mum has someone to talk to of course, but she's managing and she can't take Prozac, because it reacts to her.
The only thing she takes is Anti-Sedating drugs.
Thanks anyway.
Anti-Sedating drugs... I need to look those up! I think I need some of those! Or did you mean other antidepressants?
There are many other antidepressants, like 10 SSRIs alone, and triple-threats like Wellbutrin and Effexor, and tricyclics (but those are a bit sedating), and MAOIs, SSNRIs, SNRIs, etc. There are SO many different options, and I dunno when they'll be coming out with ketamine (minus the psychadelic effects)... tell her about ketamine; maybe it will cheer her up! ![]()
Hey buddy sounds really bad. Sometimes I will read things others put and think who am I to complain and things...
You do well mate - very well. *thumbsup*
I know that may sound like a consolation but it's what I think. hmm I'm most of the time willing to try and help people out should they want it. Yeah open for pm's and the like.
Stay strong bud. ![]()

Take the dogs for a long walk. Seriously. Get out of the house and enjoy some quiet time with you dogs. Take a tennis racquet and ball and have them play fetch at the park.
But I can relate to a brother who does sweet FA. My brother works in a music shop and is a wannabe musician.
And well done for supporting your mum too.

I do take the dogs for a walk for fresh air and to clear my head.
But socialising with my friends is better. As I type this post, I have just come back from the cinemas with my friends.
At times, I just find it hard to cope. I need coping skills that work for me and me only.
