Newbie needs help
Hi there, Im new to this app and not sure how it works... Haven't gotten a chance to talk to anyone yet as no one replied to me and i didnt get a turn on the discussion group I'm in. I am mentally, physically and emotionally drained. My parents have been going through major financial issues due to my dad who quit his job and refuses to support us (even tho we're 5 kids) , yet my mother refuses to leave him even though he makes all of our lives miserable. She was a housewife and now runs a small business to help support our family but over the years its turned our whole lives upside down. My old room had to be converted into a work place for her and so my new room is very small, i had to come home for a month due to covid in my university and when I got here found out that i have to share a room with my mom and baby sister. I can't sleep all night since they are not quiet, i hate sharing a room because i have personal space issues. This makes me constantly tired making me feel frustrated and moody all day. I constantly have arguments with my parents especially my dad because all he does is sleep all day while we all help contribute to make a living. He doesn't even put an effort into watching the kids, taking care of the house or cooking while we are all working whi h has turned our house from the place that made me feel calm and safe into a dirty home which is falling apart. All of this causes many problems in my relationship as i constantly take my frustration and anger out on my boyfriend unintentionally... Especially now when im at home and we're in a long distance relationship technically. I really just need to someone to talk to and listen to all the things that are happening... Im losing hope and its making me lose myself.
Hi @Aheeraf Sorry you’re having a stressful time with your family 😔 To talk to someone here, you can choose to connect now in a general chat with the next available listener. If the listener doesn’t respond right away, it might be a technical issue and you can try opening a chat again. Or you can choose to browse through the available listener profiles to find someone specific you would like to talk to. A green circle on their profile indicates they are online now and ready to chat with you. An orange circle means they are online but busy at the moment. A red circle means they are not online right now but you can leave a message for them. Some listeners also offer ways to schedule times to chat. Please let us know if you have any other questions 💛
Wow! That’s tough! Sounds like dad may have had a mental break? I pray you find your inner peace amongst the chaos
Financial Crisis is stressful. Don't lose hope you will find your way.
