Gaining More Insanity By the Minute

Post Reply New Topic

I am starting to lose myself here! Today has been just awful! Well, it really started last night but it's effecting today on me. My sister is pissing me off, I just found out my school counselor decided to diss me to work at a different school and I'm feeling mentally dangerous and crying it out isn't helping me like it usually does.
I'm starting to feel like this (yes, I like to connect my emotions to pictures of cartoon characters I like)

Not only am I pissed off about my counselor leaving me, I am pissed off with my dad for confiscating my stuff last night, and I am pissed off at my sister for calling me a b**** just because I wouldn't let her borrow my paints!
I bet you my entire life that nobody can picture how mad I am becoming...!

Your counselor moving to a different school has to do with the job market or school politics, not with you. Your counselor is not diss-ing you, or blowing you off, or abandoning you.

I know...it just feels like it... I've been losing my mind all day today, I've even gotten my sister scared and crying...

Well I'm sorry to have to say this to you but you really need to pull yourself together and stop taking things so personally.

Why did your dad confiscate your stuff ?
Was it anything important which he took ?

I'm okay now.
And as for what he confiscated, he took my iPhone, iPad, my DS and 3DS. He did so because he thought I was being "testy" or "disrespectful". Truth be told, I was actually annoyed with him.

Frankly, I think this needs to be said...

You are incredibly lucky that you have all of those expensive consumerist luxuries in the first place.
Did your parents buy you those ? If they did, then you should be incredibly grateful to be given such luxuries.

If you worked to buy them yourself, then you're very fortunate to have found work - especially in the present economic climate.

I think your parents were generous enough to have bought those, however.... didn't they ?
Because otherwise, your dad would be unlikely to remove them as a form of punishment for somebody your age.
In which case, complaining about that seems downright spoiled.

I don't know why you were annoyed with your dad, but from the tone of your posting I can easily believe that you were indeed being both testy and disrespectful.

You're 18 - legally an adult, and by that age I think you should try to behave like one.
If you behave like an adult, your parents will be less likely to punish you as though you're a little child.

You should also be grateful to your parents for continuing to provide you with a place to live.

You should also think yourself fortunate to have gone to a school where there was a school counsellor, in the first place.

Many people grow up with few, or none, of the things which you are privileged enough to have.

If something minor like this gets you into such a state, then honestly I reckon that your head will probably have exploded by the age of 21.... or after your first month of living independently (whichever comes first) , so it would be a good idea to consider and deal with your excessive stress and blame responses now.

Yeah, honestly, I am a wee bit spoiled since it was my dad who bought me all those things. I get what you're saying and all, but the situation is rather complicated to explain. And anyway, I didn't find myself to be testy or disrespectful (but that's just a one prrdon's opinion at the same time) and fyi I don't usually get in a fight with another adult like that. If you ask me, my dad was giving me too much expectation on how I should treat my sister and all that. I simply think he was being an a** to me. He wouldn't see things the way I saw the situation and that's how I came across to being annoyed and apparently "testy or disrespectful".
I'll admit, I am kinda lucky to have some of those luxuries, but my confiscating of them doesn't matter anymore since I have had them back since yesterday morning. But that's not gonna keep me from being angry with my dad.
