Q: Feel Really Alone

I'm in a pretty bad place right now. I have no good friends. I'm living with my parents at the moment because I haven't got a choice. I won't go into details but I don't get along with them well. We're on very separate levels and I can't converse with them and talk to them about my problems because they just don't get it. It's extremely frustrating. The more I try, the more upset I get because it keeps reminding me how unintelligent they are.. especially my mum.

The only real person I have is my older brother but as of recently he's done some pretty disrespectful sh*t towards me and he knows it, but apparently family is "unbreakable" so he thinks to himself "he'll be fine". He's a lot like my dad.... I hate it.

So now I'm pretty much by myself with no one to talk to and no one who really understands. I hate talking about this stuff, I prefer to keep it in but I don't know what to do. I feel like I'm digging my own grave but I can't do anything about it. And no one seems to know how I feel. I've told my brother how I feel but he has the same sort of feelings about himself but it doesn't stop him to completely disrespect me for a tad of happiness. It's shameful. I know that sounds vague but I don't wanna go into details.

I guess I just wanted to post this if anyone else feels the same way.

trust me.. i know what alone is.
alone is everything i've been feeling for a while...
i've felt it since the day my mom od'd and died the day before i grad from highschool.
i'm only 20 years old, and i've been thru a trainwreck of tragedies.
the whole thing is is that, i let myself go. i mean i don't know how you deal with depression.. but i sure did the wrong things to cope with all of it.
i began doing drugs heavily. and now my mindset is totally off, "it wants, it needs, it has to have" all on its own... i dont have a say anymore i feel like.
i dont want to die like my mother, but its like i know that if i dont stop, i will end up like her, its been such a depressing lonely field for me to play in that i can't grab the energy to care about anything anymore. i'm at the "f*ck it" point of my life. and its pretty scary. but i know what alone is like. i was insanely close with my mom, and everything feels like its breaking down in and burning right in front of my eyes.

so yeah, i feel you on that.

Thanks for letting me know how you feel. I feel everyone around me is living a normal happy life. They've all got their friends and supportive families.

There's so many major holes in my life that I'm afraid to even think about them because I feel it will only make things worse. I dread looking into the future because I'm on such a lonely and self-destructive track but I'm powerless to change it. Every day I get older I get more upset about myself.

I'm letting myself slip more and more every day and it just makes things worse.

It's getting to the point where I can't recover.

i think there is a point in everyones life..or many points where they feel just like that.
especially when your maturing and all your friends are stuck on a plateu.
you will get through it and come out the other a stronger person.
