I currently hate the job that I am in. I work in a bookstore because I absolutely love to read, but between my snobby coworkers, the rude customers, and the unhelpful management, this job has drained me emotionally. Obviously I know that every job has its challenges, and some you just have to work through. But I have only been working there for five months and I cant remember a shift where I didnt want to bawl my eyes out and quit on the spot. My anxiety disorder has ramped up x10000 since I started working there, so its not good for my mental health at all. The money is great though and I am afraid that when I quit, I wont be able to find another source of income like that.

@Dansdans1, I'm so sorry about the situation you are in. 4 years is such a long time and I can imagine how much you've invested in the relationship. Please, with all your strength, leave even if it hurts down to your core.

My husband did that to me. We have 3 kids and have been married almost 3 years, and I just found out that for the whole time we were dating until the end of our first year of marriage, he was in a relationship with another lady. She had no idea until I found out and told her. @SkyBlueAmbigram

@abbytishere

I am in the same boat. I see that there is a forum here for teens on the subject of self-harm, but what about older people? Wish I was past this already. I quit for two decades and then had some stuff hit the fan that brought me back to it. I hope you will seek help to keep yourself safe.

My father is comparing me with my cousin she is an architect like me .she is younger than me, there is about 5 or 6 years between us. I studied architecture in a governmental faculty, and she in a private faculty .I spent 7 years in my college and I couldn't start my career till now so I started post studies in the college to make myself busy. My cousin spent five years in the college and started her career immediately after graduation and my father and my brother said that she is announcing about her work and she is a freelancer beside her job. I can't be like her , I can't work for people who couldn't find the difference between the civil engineer and the architect. Everybody sees me as a loser and I feel deficit. What have I do?

Every year, it seems, I get real depressed during the major holidays. This year, it is no different. I am estranged from 95% of my family because they are abusive, or have just chosen to follow the super-abusive matriarch of our family (my mother, who is my main living abuser) and leave me in dust. My mother's tyranny never ends. She even influences my grown daughter against me. I have had a very rough year, and if I didn't have someone depending on me, I'd probably opt out of this life. My mom has been telling people since I was 7 (more than 40 years) that I am crazy so they won't believe me that she is an abuser (physical, sexual, mental, verbal, emotional). People just believe her and not me. I have complex PTSD because of her and my dad (who is deceased now). Since I can't die without putting someone in major jeopardy, self-harm is all I have to release the pain and pressure.
