Hi all I dont really know what to do... im 20 so still live at home but I hate it I wish I could move out because I just feel so trapped and alone in my own house and I've had enough and no one understands and thinks I'm just being moody or *** but I'm just struggling so much and anytime I try to express that I just get told to get over it in so many words.... im just fed up 😕

@tpwk1626 Hey there hope you are having a better day. This is serious because holding this feeling can harm you in the long run. You can maybe write it down in a diary or talk with a therapist or close friend. You can also maybe find something to do or learn something new. I hope that you have a better day and that you feel better.

 You're definitely not alone I felt trapped in my earlier 20s and I'm always here if you wanna listen to talk to you

I'm in the same situation. I always feel more sane when I'm out of the house. Going to the library is my favorite, and I've started geocaching to explore the area because I wasn't really allowed out of the house when I was younger.

I'm trying to apply to jobs to get me out of the house and make money to move out, but no luck yet. Have you thought about volunteering? Right now I'm in the process of signing up at my local library and a wilderness preserve. It doesn't make money, but it does provide a reason to leave the house. I hope to make some friends while doing that and maybe get a job.

Hi there, I am sorry to hear you are feeling trapped and alone in your own home. What do you think is making you feel trapped and alone?
