...See more Hi, looking for support and wasn’t sure where to post. Yesterday Im 28 years old and became chronically ill due to chronic stress, underlying undiagnosed conditions, and covid over the past couple of years. I had to discontinue my graduate studies and move back home because I couldn’t support myself anymore after around 2 years of working. I am currently back home without a car and isolated in a rural small town after leaving home at 18. It’s been really hard. My family situation has always been rough (I have ADHD late diagnosed and suspected ASD), with lots of fighting and emotional gaslighting and abuse. Yesterday I was verbally attacked by my father (he has always done this and I get blamed, insulted, and even hit when I was young). Now I know this to be narcissistic attacks. My mother always somehow is also a victim and my sister just hides. She is his biological daughter so she has never received this treatment. I am always the one to stand up for myself but it always ends up badly. They have had to help me get back on my feet and I feel is a source of resentment and an “excuse” for this bad treatment. I am basically a scapegoat and vulnerable so even extended family has let him treat me this way. Due to the covid in 2022 I developed fibromyalgia so this has set off lots of pain and symptoms and I am afraid of being unable to go to work these upcoming days from this attack. I want to work to save money so I can eventually leave but my health doesnt help. I worry if I will even be able to support myself in the future. I just want the abuse to stop. Wish I could live somewhere else.
