:(
That's an outburst. An hour ago I had a fight with my father, I'd been in anguish for days after he said that I need to stop doing the things I enjoy most, the things that make me happy, as if it were nothing. To understand better, I was born into a Christian family, my father has now found a fiancée and wants to live as an angel on earth and for him to be happy, I need to abandon the only things that made me happy in the worst moments of my life. For the first time I told him that in the midst of my anxiety attacks I couldn't ask for help, my family was in chaos, they only cared about church, there were only fights at home and I stayed alone, in my room, afraid because I didn't know what was happening to myself. I didn't want church, I wanted HELP. I'm very hurt by my father, I don't do anything, I just study, I stay at home, I study, I keep quiet, I don't go out at night, I don't drink, I don't have any vices, at least I remember the last time I went out to have fun? For him, me going to the movies, dancing, watching Korean culture is blasphemy to God, for him, the only things that make me happy are wrong. He's going to make me go to church tomorrow, talk to the pastor, a stranger, I don't want that, I've just told him I need help, I don't want that. I know it sounds silly, but... but... I don't know...
@nataliacosta2004 Tbh I wouldn't know what to do either . Religion sometimes has such a big hold on people that they become blind to other things like how people around them feel. For example, my grandma wouldn't let me in her house for not fully being Christian. I'm really just unsure, not against any religion. (NO OFFENSE TO ANY RELIGION💚) It's not silly though. Are there any times where you can do these things in private? If you cannot do those things, maybe (FOR RIGHT NOW😬) try to do other things. What do you have to talk to the pastor about? I know you don't want to talk to him but share what you are comfortable with sharing, maybe something small. I apologize , I don't have much to say but my heart does go out to you.
Try to take time for your self though. Maybe try journaling, reading, drawing, painting, listening to soft or lofi music while your studying, meditiation...Not everyone likes those things. I'm just naming a few But ... maybe it will help
@nataliacosta2004 growing up in a strict religious family can be hard. But we are all here for you ❤ gives you a giant tiny hug ❤
