So, I was doing a distraction technique and something that has helped me a lot in lockdown and it quickly turned into my mother forcing me to drink some alcohol I have had left over for ages (I’m a couple months sober) and taking over my distraction technique because I wasn’t doing it right. 

Why do we waste so much money on DBT if I am not allowed to do it? 

Yes, I appreciate how privileged I am to have a roof over my head during lockdown and food on the table but I am stuck with my parents who are homophobic and treat me like a child. What can I do? I’m so powerless here. 

I feel like such a child for even being upset by it but all I wanted to do was a coping mechanism and I was really exciting by this.
