in Everyday life

I love being shouted at right in my face by my own mum the second I wake up dis morning.
im at this point now where I feel like they’re picking on me for every single word I say.
I get bullied by my brother and her. I get sworn at, but when I stick up for myself and swear back I get shouted at. My brother is younger than me. But he’s allowed to swear at me perfectly fine?
she’s now forcing me to do things not giving me an option to say yes or no.
I’ve tried speaking to my dad for help but he says he doesn’t want to get involved and that maybe I am moody,

I’m not moody but I am depressed.
when I tell them I’m depressed they just say take antidepressants and I’ll be fine..

idk what to do anymore. I’m scared of leaving my bedroom without the fear of being shouted at or picked on for every single word I say.

    Hi Ryleyyg

    I'd contact a social worker. Other options (I've already described to you) should be available.

    Other people here may well know more than I can think of.

    We all still have some rights.

    Good luck

    Hi @ryleyyg

    I'm sorry you're going through this in your home, it sounds like a very stressful time for you. It's all sounds very unfair.

    Do you have anybody that knows about your situation at home that can offer more support? GP or a social worker? Are you on the list in your local authority for a home? I know these lists can take a very long time in some places but at least its hopefully the first step to being able to move out

    I really feel for you I grew up in a toxic environment and it is extremely hard your always on high alert sad angry depressed and rightly so I was the target from my parents took the attention from them and thier mistakes have you spoke to your doctor maybe therapy might help someone outside the family that won't judge and listen it's easy to lock yourself away I did and to be honest I still do I'm 53 my life damaged by this behaviour reach out to doctor see if there is groups you can join with people who understand it's extremely hard to that I know but I wish I did when I was younger to try break the cycle learn how to put healthy boundaries up amd not let others issues seep into me I really understand your suffering and I hope you can reach out and find peace it's important for your growth

    thank you for this. I really appreciate it. Unfortunately I don’t have anyone in my family I can properly speak too. I’ve tried speaking to my dad but he does not care about my problems, he even said it himself.
    I do have therapy next Friday. So I guess I will just have to wait till then.
    I had a social worker but my local council said apparently I don’t meet the minimum requirements due to new government rules? Dunno how but okay.

    OOh no that sucks new rules !! I'm glad you have therapy be open and honest this is your time to figure out how you can coexist with your family gets in a destructive pattern of pushing buttons disrespect it's awful once I learnt boundaries my boundaries my life became more manageable I wasn't at the mercy of other people's problems directing them at me it's hard took me years when I used to go to therapy I never said half of what was effecting me I was always masking so now I find myself struggling give it all you got it's good your reaching out and finding help I hope it goes well
