(I'm an adult)

My dad is doing things that aren't okay to my siblings and they're too scared to do anything about it. Legally I can do nothing about it and I feel helpless.

If the problem is serious enough, can you call CPS (or its equivalent in your area) and report him?

My brother is an adult and ny sister is almost an adult so I think CPS really wouldn't do much about the situation. My brother would have to contact the police himself if he wanted action to be taken, but I think he's afraid to come out and say that.

I want to run.
Far, far away from this dreadful house.
I know the only reason they keep the computer out in the open is because
1. They can't trust me
2. I will never leave my room
I wish I never left my room, in fact.
I want to run far away from this dreadful house.
I can't deal with this.
There's so many things that I want to say.
But I can't, not even on here.
It would make me feel so much better to discuss all the things wrong with me.
But I can't.
I can't cry.
My grandmother would find out, try to comfort me, fail, not sleep, talk about it to my mom, have her ask me why I was crying, and then I would have to look for a reason that was not "I'm depressed and I hate myself."
i can't talk about it.
Lord knows what my family would do, and they especially wouldn't believe me. Of course my dad would just think i'm looking for attention as always.
I can't make it any better.
I can't take anything like therapy or pills for personal reasons, and there's nobody to seek help from.
I'm so helpless and i'm a problem child and i can't
I don't know what to do anymore.

*sigh*
So this person has been really mean to me for like the last two weeks and it seems like it was for no apparent reason so I have just ignored them and let them be cruel toward me thinking that they just wanted the attention, but today I had the last straw so I asked them why they thought it was okay to be so rude and they told me "you were sneak dissing me so now you're a target all the time" and I have no clue what they are even talking about because honestly I was totally tolerable of them before they started targeting. I don't ever remember saying anything about them behind their back but they said someone told them I was saying stuff. So now I have to pay the price for something I don't even think I did and it's really upsetting me. Like why do people think it's okay to do stuff like this? Like I can't even talk on the discord anymore without him saying something to me even when I'm talking to someone else. I just feel like absolute garbage and could use a hug right now

Everything seems to be going wrong lately. I've lost my cat to liver failure, been bullied at school, and everything just stresses me out. I have exams coming up and I can't handle it.

I cannot stand my roommate.
I hear her talking to her friends literally less than 15 feet from my desk where I'm studying, right outside the room with the door open. I don't know if she thinks I'm deaf, or since I have earbuds in, I can't hear her, but I generally don't even have music on, and I am evidently not deaf?
I hear her saying, oh, my room is such a mess right now, it's so ugly- knowing full well that she's a complete neat-freak, and her side of the room looks perfect, but my side is messy because 1) I don't have time right now and 2) I don't really care what the room looks like; and besides, it's far from messy, it's just not perfect.
Then I hear her talking-- from what I could tell, one of her friends said something about inviting me to go with them to Starbucks or whatever, and she just goes, no, [insert my name here] doesn't work that way. Like, excuse me? I'm friends with some of your friends, they know me a lot better than you do, and perhaps I would have enjoyed being invited since I'm going through a really hard time recently, which you know about?

I hear her talking about me from outside the room all the time, this is just the latest in the string of inconsiderate or just rude acts of my oh-so-lovely roommate. I don't get it either, since we get along fine when we talk, and I am extremely considerate of her (getting dressed in the dark so she can sleep in, leave the room if she's on the phone, etc). I am so careful to be considerate and friendly, and she is constantly bashing me behind my back.
I cannot stand her.

On top of that, my childhood home is going on the market soon, my family is moving, but since I'm away at college the new house will never really be my home- it'll just be where I vacation over breaks. My family will be there, know the area, and I'll always be the odd one out. I feel so out of place at college, and so grounded by my home, but now I'm losing that.
I suppose this is the bigger problem, I just don't know that I'm ready to face it.
I don't want to be unable to see my high school friends. I don't want to lose the city I know, the places I love. I don't want to leave my fencing club, or the place that I grew up. I feel like I'm losing everything.
It sounds stupid, but I feel like I'm losing part of my family. They'll all move on and move in, make this new place home, and I'll never be comfortable there. It'll never be home; I'll spend most of the year at school, hundreds of miles away.

So my hugest crush ever is asking someone out. I'm just so annoyed yet... Idk, I want her to be happy but I also love her. I'm not sure how to feel about this or what to do ;_;

[gouache]

I feel so alone, and this is the first time I'll speak out about it.
Not lonely, as such, it's a worse kind of feeling. Yet, I'm much too
shy to even comprehend writing a reply if someone happens to
message me, I don't know how to put words to it.

Anyway, if anyone wants any comfort or advice, please don't be afraid to PM me about it!

My parents hate each other.
Urrrgh, I'm so stressed!!!

i broke down the other day.
the wall i've built for the past two years just came crashing down and i don't know how to fix it. these past few months have been so unbearable and i'm never happy. i've been trying everything to get my mind off of these problems that keep reoccurring. i don't know how to make them go away no matter what i do. i tried opening up to my friend about some things but it didn't help at all. they said some encouraging words but i couldn't find a way through my problems. i'm not sure what to do at this point. these past couple of days, i've been trying not break down again in front of anyone and i fear that all my efforts are going to fail. all i want to do is shut down and push everyone away but i know that it isn't healthy. i'm trying to prevent things from getting to where i was two years ago but i feel as if it is inevitable. my family doesn't understand that i'm not okay. my mom doesn't want to believe that i am depressed so she can't help. my sister and my brother don't understand what is wrong with me, i don't expect them to. i'm not sure what to do now. do i just go with the flow and left myself go or do i keep doing what i've been doing? the first options seems like it could go either way and the second option seems like it will lead me nowhere. maybe it's too early to do anything at all but i feel that if i don't reach out, it'll be worse that i think.
i guess i'm just kinda lost right now? i don't know. there's just a feeling i can't describe. it's a mixture of sadness, disappointment, loss, and confusion. i've never felt this before and i just want this feeling to go away. i didn't think it was something i needed to pay attention to until i realized two years have passed of dealing with this. if someone understands or can somewhat give me an idea of this strange emotion, please let me know. otherwise i'll just leave this here, i don't expect a response anytime or ever.
