Family won't let me do things because of mental illness

Post Reply New Topic

It's so frustrating. I just want to have a social life. Yet I can't really because I live at home and my family is so irritating about it. My siblings are allowed to do so much more. Yet I'm not allowed to do anything it seems. Im always told I cannot go out because they don't think I'd enjoy it, I can't go to any parties, I can't date etc. i try to bring up these things. Im apparently "immature" about it. I wish they'd let me just live my life.

Im in my 20s and I have no social life. I feel like I'm left behind. My family is just worried because they think I'm vulnerable. I've been taking my medication consistently etc. I don't understand. It's like they don't like me. It's gotten to a point I have to be secretive about everything.

Do you think they over protect you

I wonder if they have anxiety for some reason
