...See more I'm in a relationship. A serious one with my first love. And my mother is emotionally abusive, and doesn't like my boyfriend for some reason. He and I went through a rough patch, and my mom accused him of stealing from her to turn me against him, this worked for a while, but one my boyfriend and I started talking again, I refuse to believe that because my mother would definitely sue to get that money back, and I asked to see the proof, and she wouldn't show me. I moved in with my grandmother, but she doesn't have custody of me, and she is too scared to go against my mom and get it. My father has it too, but he might move to my hometown again so I could live with him. I am battling a severe depression because I don't know what to do, I need to see my boyfriend, he is my happiness and he makes me feel sane. I can't sneak out and see him (if I were to) because my grandmother lives very far from him, and she won't let me take see him either because she doesn't want to go against my mom, once again. I just don't know what to do, if anyone would like to message me more about my moms emotional abuse, I would be alright on opening up about it.

Why is this coming back now?!

...See more I noticed a lot of my mental health started declining when I was in seventh grade, first starting with anxiety, then the insomnia, and the gnawing depression and lastly, the lovely eating disorder I had during that time. Now, I'm noticing a lot of it is coming back. Especially the insomnia. I'm not sleeping anymore. I don't feel tired when I should, yet I can't focus on my online schoolwork to save my life. My dilemma is, if I take a legitimate sleeping pill, I sleep all night and all the next day, and I hate that and the feeling it gives me afterward. I feel funky, like, I can't describe it. So, does anyone have any tips? (I've tried a lot of natural sleep aids, but of course they fail me too.)

Relapsing slowly?

...See more In seventh grade, at a young age of twelve years old, I developed anorexia. I don't know how, because that time of my life is very fuzzy (I blame it on when I started depression/anxiety meds), but I'm starting to notice the same behavior I remember having: • I calorie count waaaaay too much, and I haven't done that since I was twelve, at least, this bad. • I try to guzzle water when I'm hungry, or ill limit what I eat if I give in. For example, If I were to eat like.. spaghetti or something (this is an example! I actually cringe at sweets and stuff since this has started up again.) I would limit myself to only half a bowl, and nothing more. And if I'm still hungry, ill guzzle water and go walk around outside to get my mind off of it. • I'm starting to grow unhappy with my body again, especially ever since I started birth control, which caused my thighs, bottom, and breasts to grow larger (which I stopped a month ago due to this and other reasons). Idk, I don't want anyone to think I'm doing this or posting this for attention, but is it possible I'm fully relapsing after years of trying to get over it?

Reaching Out with a Guilty Conscience..

...See more For years, since I was 5, I have always dealt with emotional abuse. I never saw it as that, I just thought thats how it was in life. But, here I am now, many, many years later. I am reaching out to leave my mother, the person I care so dearly about. I am currently staying with my Grandmother, but... Now what? I am asking for her to get custody over me, but, she knows how my mother is.. and I have such a guilty conscience. I feel, as if, she will think I hate her, or that I am just being a cry baby because "I got my feelings hurt". I really would enjoy someones advice. feel free to respond or shoot me a message, even.. Thank you.
