have extremely narcissistic, draining, toxic family members that make everything about themselves at all times?
any1 else have parents you can't approach with any problem without them blowing up and making it THEIR problem, and making it out as if I'm inconveniencing them or trying to intentionally spite them by making them aware of my problems?
any1 else have a brother that is extremely argumentative and stubborn, having burnt bridges with every single extended family member of yours and forcing you to do the same? to the point where you don't have contact with *any* non-immediate family member, and are required to actively avoid them without being accused of "betraying" by "choosing sides"?
any1 else have extended family that wants nothing to do with you as a result? to the point where if you see them in public they won't even look at you to say hi, even if you go out of your way to greet them?
any1 else have no friends irl and feel lonely at all times? have friends that think that you hate them because you never speak to them because you're so emotionally damaged and don't want to entertain the idea of burdening others with your problems because of the way you grew up?
any1 else have the urge to cry suddenly without concrete reason, and have multiple breakdowns a week characterized by fluctuating mood, agitation, and irritability followed by waves of guilt and despair?
any1 else feel as if spending money is the only way to fill what feels like an empty void that is your own life?
any1 else feel that they have no skills and that they've wasted years pursuing a useless degree? making no advancements in your professional career? making no advancements toward your health, fitness or well-being in general?
I can’t say I have any of those problems but my life hasn’t been easy either! I do have a mom that I can talk to about anything though! I know talking to ppl about stuff isn’t easy sometimes but there are ppl willing to listen and talk to you! If u ever need 1 of those ppl I’ll be here day or night! I know I don’t know u or vice versa but keeping this all in isn’t good or healthy! You need a person to talk to and if it isn’t me that’s fine but talk to someone! There are a lot of ppl that do care about you! Just know that ❤️

Not sure what your financial situation is like, but I would highly recommend speaking to a therapist/psychologist.
I’ve seen mine for over a year and it’s the best thing I’ve done for myself because it’s helped me see things differently and more clearly. It’s the best investment you’ll ever make and for once I know what it means to work on myself.
I can relate to me feeling like I can’t talk to my mom about anything. She’s shown that she’s not capable of meeting my emotional needs, and I’ve finally realized it. But, I know I can rely on her if I ever need anything because she’s so giving. So now I know what I can get from her and what I can’t, thus not feeling so disappointed.
But yeah, highly recommend a therapist if you haven’t been seeing one already
