new here, idrk what to do
I don't know what's wrong with me or what to do. I feel more drained and suffocated staying at home than being at school or outside. Especially if my religious, sarcastic, and close-minded aunty is in the house. I feel my stomach twisting just by thinking about her lmao. I'm studying dentistry which is a 6-yrs course, but I'm really conflicted on continuing this degree because I just wanna graduate fast so that I can save up and leave this household already. I should've taken a 4-yrs course, I can't even focus on academics every time she's here because I'm always nervous and anxious when she's around. Feels like walking on eggshells, she also likes to judge about almost everything, she keeps on pointing about my weight and pimples ://
ps: I don't stay in a dorm or apartment; I just commute from home to university.
Try speaking about it with your parents if they don't do anything then stand up for yourself i m not telling you to fight with her just be calm and respond if her words were rude like saying i m comfortable with myself the way i am it's my body and since she is "religious" try implicitly implying that talking and judging about God's creatures is bad or something like that we all have judgy family members however they only pick on you when they see you as a helpless little girl try being more confident and speak up your mind more openly eversince i did this no one in my family dares comment about me if someone tells me i should lose weight i say i m comfortable with myself and i love myself the way i am no matter what don't let them walk over you and it depends solely on you but dentistry is a really good course it would open more opportunities to you when you are done and you will be able to make money so that you can live by yourself though if you feel it is necessary to change courses then you should do what you want just don't let fears from others paralyse you and stop you from living your life try ignoring her and the more you don't care about someone the more his or her words hurt you less i hope you are well stay safe 🤍🤍
