#gradually deteriorating mental health
45 messages · Page 1 of 1 (latest)
there are a lot of instances where i've hidden my poor mental health
for about 2 weeks now i've developed anger issues, and to be honest i really need a good long rest
more like a factory reset of the brain
i just want to be heard from a lot of people
it has been 2 years since i caused an "incident" where i tried to call CPS on my own, but was caught in the act by my father
we sat and talked to each other about why i was doing that, and he completely understood me
but i failed to realize that everything in this entire household i live in is managed by mostly my mother
so if my mother disappears from my life, there is really no way i can move out to europe and get checked there
i know my mother doesn't want to change, i can feel it
i've told my art / homeroom teacher about my mental health
she has us all paint something as a class and present it, but since i didn't trust almost all of my classmates, i decided i'd cover it up with something else
in this case, i painted a grass field and a blue sky, with a blue man, and i made him melt
the melting aspect of the drawing was supposed to be how my current mental health is going
but since i couldn't just talk about that, i decided i would cover it up with "climate change"
because "global warming increases the temperature"
i exaggerated that in the form of melting
that was a fake but well-covered reason for my mental health, i know climate change has nothing to do with my poor mental health
i did get asked by one of the junior students why i was acting so weird lately, and i did mention my mental health, then said i was fine
and he was very confused, he tried offering for help and i just
i declined his offer
because i didn't have trust in him at all
its just that
when someone offers for help, i decline, because i believe that's going to cause a huge issue
and eventually would get reported to my parents
which are the two figures i don't trust when it comes to talking about my mental health
my mother jokes about it and tells me i'm in a good state when i'm not
i swear every time she comes back from work she hears me in a tired state
and proceeds to just ignore that
not only is my mother very close-minded
but she's also controlling in the things i want to do
for instance, i have curly hair, and my mom hates that
instead of just letting me be, she tries to ask me to backcomb my hair, which i have proven lots of times to her that it rips and damages my hair
but she doesn't care at all
aside from all of that
whenever i get into an injury, she rushes to me acting all soft and crap
like she was never soft when we both moved to this country, she's always been slightly harsh
aside from my parents
i love my friends a lot. they respect my privacy, they are good at keeping things i tell them between us [good at keeping secrets]
they know i'm wanting to send help and they also know that i'm scared of what will happen because of the consequences
and they know i can't trust my parents
i swear every day i tell them about what my parents do to me at home
my friends are like really supportive buddies
i also let my biology and chemistry teacher know that i'm facing troubles with focusing and all that, unnecessary competition and commenting between students in a class
that is a huge step taken by me never been done before because i trust them and i know they won't inform my parents about it
every single day of school if i ever need to focus, i'll always isolate myself in a corner in class and teach myself the lessons that others are learning
and it's been helping me out a lot
i'm trying not to stress myself [which has made my hair strands fall a lot]
