It just gets worse.

Post Reply New Topic

Something happened recently with my parents and I, and now, I just feel like I can't take it anymore. I won't go into the details, because by usual standards it wasn't serious, heck it wasn't even bad. But its hit me hard...and now I just feel like I can't take this anymore. I've been getting worse and worse with my depression and anger and now, I just can't do it anymore!! ! It's just not fair...everyone thinks I should just grow up or start trying to make me feel guilty! I'm just so depressed, I can't do anything without bursting into tears and spasming. I've just had enough...

Just like its the little things in life that can give us the most joy, so can they too give us the most sorrow.

I'm sorry man, but I can't offer anymore than that without a bit more info.

Don't let people order you around. Just go do something you want, read something youwant, eat something you want, go somewhere you want, talk to someone you want to talk to, whatever. People who want you to behave are insecure pieces of s**t themselves.

Hey, don't worry about it- everyone feels like that sometimes. I've fallen out with my folks over some seriously daft things in the past- I can't even remember what half of them are anymore! Being a teenager sucks, but it does get better

DeanFoley,

I'm in my late 20s now. When I was a teenager and even in my early 20s, I used to argue a lot with my parents and cry a lot too. It might have been similar to what you're going through, although I'm careful when assuming things like that. Anyway, I felt like they didn't understand me...and it was like, hey, how can you NOT understand me, how can you not see I'm in pain or that I need this and that from you? To me it felt obvious that they should have known And they certainly felt they didn't understand me either during those periods. It was frustrating for all of us.
But even after arguments..come on, I still rationally knew that my parents loved me. No matter what, your parents love you.

I don't think it's necessarily an AS thing but also a teenager/young person thing, around that time when the children start standing up to their parents more, hen we start having our own needs, opinions..a generational gap.

I'm sure you too love your parents, afterall. They're human, they make mistakes, they make the mistake sometime of not listening or understanding us too well. We EXPECT parents to get it. Of all people, they should get it (that's how I thought when I was younger). But since they are human, just like us, we should love them anyway and have more patience. I think patience goes both ways. Oh well...I'm ranting here...you get the point.

Have a fine day, wherever you are! Smile too Hugs!
