i've been living in the same stressful household for 21 years. my physical and mental health is diminishing every day i'm here. a chest injury i sustained back in march never healed because my parents keep forcing me to do household chores that require heavy lifting. there is no healthy food in the house and even though my doctors tell me that if i eat healthy and exercise, then i could reverse my diabetes. but they don't care enough to try to help me out with that, so i'm stuck feeling like absolute shit because i can't even eat healthy. my health is the reason i can't even work anymore. it's worn out and I'm too young to be feeling like this. i'm yelled at and threatened with being tied up or sent to a mental asylum for having panic attacks that are well out of my control. and since my parents are super religious, they keep blaming my poor mental state on the devil and how none of it is real and that if i just pray, everything will be okay. i do pray, but sometimes i wish they would listen to how i feel and not invalidate me. i can't have one normal day where i'm in a tranquil state of mind. I don't even get to be around people that aren't my immediate family because for years, my mother pushed my friends away thus alienating me from society. she wonders why i'm socially inept and incapable of normal human interaction anymore.... this stress is really taking a toll on me and if i don't change anything about this soon, it might spell disaster....
