im good most of the time but some days i just feel
so alone and just absolutely horrible and todays one of
those days
and i bottle everything up and i know its real
unhealthy
but i dont like talking to counselors and such
cause ill start crying and i hate crying infront of
strangers
and i cant talk to any family members and i feel
like even if i told my friends id just be a downer
and theyd have no idea what to do
i understand
thanks
sorry im not so sure what to say. ive never
done this before
its ok ur dong fine
thanks
i just thought this was a good idea and i already feel a
bit better
yw
pardon?
oh nvm i just got it
9:02
lol ok
9:03
: )
9:03
so am i just supposed to vent or...
9:03
yeah u can just keep venting/talking
9:03
okay
9:03
well today im sleeping over at my moms
9:03
i live with my dad and visit her
9:04
and one second we were talking about soap the next shes
telling me that my dads the devil and its so hard
to deal with cause hes not
9:05
its just so hard to understand what shes
thinking and why she thinks these things
9:05
and shes done so many things to me like ignored me,
made me feel worthless, made me keep everything in to the
point i formed depression and started failing school,
kept me from seeing a counselor, manipulated and
brainwashed me but i always end up feeling horrible
9:06
still reading... keep going plz
9:07
and i always end up apologizing
9:07
and its always the same thing i always apologize
for making her cry
9:08
but after i apologize she just immidietly stops crying
and shes totally fine which makes me wonder is she
faking it?
9:08
and i just dont cry infront of people often cause
to me crying is just really rare and i only do it when im
so upset so i just feel horrible when i make someone cry
9:09
and i dont know why i cant stop shaking
9:09
we only talked for like 10 minutes and it was over an
hour ago but im still shaking and im not cold
or anything
9:09
hug
9:10
thanks
9:10
yw
9:11
i think my moms the main source of my problems but some
days its not even her and those days i wonder if its
just me
9:11
i hate when people self diagnose themselves
cause i find it offensive when people romanticize mental
disorders and such
9:12
but sometimes i wonder if i should get tested for mental
problems and such
9:12
cause i know i have depression and i have medication for
that but i feel like its more then that
9:12
but i also dont wanna tell anyone cause itll
make me seem like im crazy and maybe theyll
take me away from my dad and make me live with my mom or
something and i know that will make me so much worse
understand
9:14
i mean ive looked up a lot on this one called
paranoid personality disorder and ive
seen it before cause my grandpa and aunt had it
9:15
and i mean it says stuff like you fear things and
distrust people without any evidence against them to do
so
9:15
and thats how i feel about my friends and
counselors and thats why i liked the anonymous idea
9:15
and im just wondering if im making a mistake
not talking to a counselor
9:16
bea8918 is typing...
i just dont want them to share anything and i only
have access to a school counselor and theyre not
always the best
9:17
and honestly i dont even know how i could schedule
an appointment with the counselor and we have over a
thousand kids in our school so how would they even
squeeze me in
9:17
and i just dont want anyone else in my school to
know anything
9:17
and i just dont want anyone else in my school to
know anything
9:18
maybe one will snoop and see my counselors notes on me or
something or maybe my counselor will accidentally share
information or maybe theyll just do it on purpose
for some reason
9:18 AM
understand
9:19
i mean do you think i should talk to a counselor? or will
it just make things worse
9:19
well lets talk about that a bit. its not an easy decision
9:20
okay
9:20
i understand everything u said
9:20

9:22
eqi.org/tp.htm
9:22
im a bit confused... do you think thats me?
9:24
to a degree, yes
9:24
what do u think?
9:24
honestly i kinda agree
9:24
i mean one thing i spiraled over yesterday was the fact
due to my parents i cant leave bc till im an
a adult
9:25
i know it may seem small but its just another thing
that makes me feel powerless
9:25
in my eyes u r an adult now
9:25
thank you, im used to being called a hormonal
teenager : )
9:26
i understand
9:26
ok lemme tell u something.. ok?
9:26
ok
9:26
im part of a very small group of people who believe the
laws need to be changed.
9:27
we are looking for more pple who share our ideas
9:27
what do u think so far?
9:27
i think its great
9:28
oh btw we arent a cult haha
9:28
lol
9:28
we hate cults like scientolgy. do u know it?
9:28
not rly sorry
ok later u can google it if u want
ok
but basically its a very big cult and says we are a
religion
oh we are all athiests btw. what about u?
bea8918 is typing...
i am an atheist but i have no idea whatll happen
when im older cause im actually not allowed
to be in a religion for now
its not that my family is against
religions but they believe religious people are only
religious cause fear of hell or theirs parents made them
but theyd never discriminate someone dorn their
religion
9:31
ok
9:31
so how calm are u feeling now? 10 is totally calm
9:32
4 im still shaking for some reason
9:33
ok hug
9:33
what if u try talking more?
9:33
sounds good
9:33
well ive alredy explained my mom a bit but not my
dad yet
9:34
k
9:34
when i told my dad everything that was happening he was
so shocked and offered to let me live with him and i had
wanted to for a while so i moved in with him full time.
He helped me so much more then anyone and i cant
explain how amazing he is but im worried about him.
Hes tried to kill himself before and lately hes
been really negative and he hasnt been doing very
good physically and emotionally
9:36
he injured his back in his childhood so its messed
up casue he never went to the hospital and hes been
doing this night time job called skip the dishes and his
car chair is broken so his back is getting really bad
9:36
but all he does is ignore it and its extremely
frustrating
9:37
i feel like he doesnt care about himself at all and
he also drinks and smokes a very alarming amount
9:37
k
9:37
he doesnt get hammered every night but he gets drunk and
its not enough to he obvious
9:38
but its every night
9:38
and he smokes one and a half packs a day and he has this
horrible cough which he blames on being sick
but hes had the cough for as long as i can remmeber i
mean since grade one at least
9:38
and a little bit ago we were talking about moving cause
we live in a really small horrible house and he said we
may be able to soon move. then he just snaps at me and
says no way were moving everything sucks its
all my mom's fault and he just starts complaining and not
just about his problems mine too
9:40
and i just start sobbing cause he was so blunt on how
horrible our lives are
9:40
aw
9:41
then he starts yelling at me for being so lazy and never
doing dishes
9:41
then i started yelling at him how im doing my
homework casue he cant help me cause hes a
dropout and before hes dropped out he failed
everything but socials class
9:41
and im tired cause i cant sleep when hes working
which is most days and im all alone in the house
really late and i just get really paranoid and imagined
what id do if someone broke in
9:42
and i have absolutely no motivation for anything cause of
my depression and he should know how that feels casue hes
struggled with depression
9:43
and i couldnt talk to him anymore so i left to my
room and he went to smoke and calm down
9:43
when i came back he said sorry for snapping but i am lazy
and need to do more and i said i would and he told me if
i use my depression as an excuse i should up my
medication
9:44
which made me panick cause i hate taking medication and i
wanna lessen it not increase it
9:44
i know this doesnt make my dad sound the best but
keep in mind when hes dirt poor he still gives
money every month to a child in africa (he didnt
need even tell me i found it out) and he helped my friend
leave a abusive household and hes stayed up till
three hugging me cause i kept having back to back panick
attacks
but im worried about him and i feel like he should
see someone but i know hell say theres no
time and no money for that and not to worry about him
9:46
and then hell say if your mom would just stop
making my life a living hell id be fine
9:47
k
9:47
i just find it a lot harder to talk to him now cause hes
back a lot more irritable casue of his night job and the
pain from his back
9:48
and i wanna tell him all this but i just dont think
i will ive thought about it a million times but i
feel like i never will
9:48
but again ive imagined telling someone this then
thought i never would
9:49
so im hoping ive done this so maybe soon i
can tell him
9:50
and i just hope it doesnt totally backfire but make
him better cause if he just gets worse and worse
9:51
i just dont know
9:51
but i think i should tell him though
9:51
what do you think?
9:52
well there is a LOT to talk about.
agree?
9:53
yeah
9:53

9:53

9:56

9:57

9:57

9:57

group so we can all think it over
9:58

9:58

9:58

9:58
oh i remembered we arent all athiests.
9:58
oh lol
9:58
doesnt matter to me
9:58
ok
9:59
so at this point what are ur main questions
9:59
and how calm do u feel now?
9:59
i feel a lot calmer like 8
10:00
i guess my main question are
10:00
should i talk to a counselor or something
10:00
should i tell my dad
is the way i think really toxic or something
10:01
like do i view everything in a bad way or something im
not sure
10:01
cause what really scared me was i thought threatening to
leave or suicide was a regular parenting method until a
little while ago so i feel like whats right and
wrong is distorted in my mind
10:02
i think thats it
10:03
ok
10:04
so here are my answers. keep in mind these are my answers
and i want to get others opinions
10:05
ok
10:05
talk to counselor./dad -- not yet
10:05
but later yes
10:05
ok
10:05
is ur thinking messed up
10:05
only slightly and probably not in the way u think it is
but in a different way. ill explain more later ok?
10:06
ok
10:06
what really scared me was i thought threatening to leave
or suicide was a regular parenting method
10:07
that part is definitelly messed up
good parents dont do either of those
yeah
10:07
i know that now and its scary to think i didnt
before
10:07
yeah there is more stuff u believe now that will be scary
to think u believed later lol
10:08
yeah
10:08
my eyes have really been opened since i was ur age.
10:08
oh and i dont give out my age or gender in early convos
10:08
are u ok with that?
10:08
yeah
10:09
ok
10:09
so what else or what now?
10:09
well i havent rly talked about
school yet i guess
10:09
its not like im bullied or anything
10:09
i mean im not like rly popular but im well
known and i get along well with most people
10:10
bea8918 is typing...
but heres another thing that makes me wonder if my
thinkings messed up
10:10
i feel like right now i have nothing going for me
10:11
so i just try to think about my future and hope i can get
into a god college or university but whenever i try to
think of something good in my life i cant and i
just think about my dream future and such
10:11
then i start panicking cause im just an average
student and im not really that good
10:12
and its hard cause i cant get help with my
homework cause my dad failed everything but social
studies and my mom doesnt understand english terms
and i barely see her
10:12
so im on my own and ill just freak out when i
cant get something and ive actually failed
math tests before which brought my letter grade from an a
to b
10:13
k
and it was easier last year cause it
was middle school and i only had two teachers and one was
really nice and understanding and he always helped me and
he said he understood cause he was going through a
divorce and he has three girls who are having a hard time
10:14
oh i forgot to mention i have 2 sisters
10:14
theyre 11 so three years younger than me and they
are twins
10:14
bea8918 is typing...
they live half time with mom half time with dad and
switch every week
10:14
ill always snap at them because its so crazy
how we both have the same family and their lives are so
happy
10:15
i grew up too fast and they barely grew up but they were
unaffected by a lot of stuff cause theyre twins and
in their own little worlds and my mom definetly did not
ignore them as much as me
10:16
k
10:17
i know it’s not their faults but it’s
so frusterarjng and i’ll snap at them and that
also makes me upset and just really frustersed
10:17
but it just feels so unfair
10:17
theyre here worrying and crying about not being
able to have a sleepover with their bestie and im
here wishing i could just run away and stop this horrible
sinking feeling in my stomach
they live half time with mom half time with dad and
switch every week
were so different and its
so hard to remember its not their faults and theyre
not the ones im mad at
10:19
but i cant snap at my mom or my dad so i think i
just snap at them which is just a really shitty move on
my part
10:19
yeah
10:19
i understand
10:19
ur a human
10:20
i think haha
10:20
lol
10:21
i just wish i could have a good relationship with them
cause theyre the only family members that havent
done anything wrong but im a total bitch to them
and its so messed up and i can see its messed
up but i just keep doing it and i dont even realize
till later
10:23
yeah
10:25
and my mom was the abuseful one not myna dad
10:28
we only stayed for 19 days but that time i seriously
considered suicide
10:29
my mom would always leave us alone and all the kids were
really young and i wasnt aloud to do anything but
watch kids shows
10:30
i remember at that time i was close with my mom and i was
so terrified cause she would scream at us and leave us
alone all the time and the people who own the building
came into our room randomly
10:31
and when i was younger i was extremely paranoid like i
thought when i slept my parents and neighbours would all
watch me and plan to kill me i mean ridiculously paranoid
10:31
but one day i was having a fight with my mom so she
finally took us back and a while after that my dad moved
out
10:32
oh i forgot something
10:33
after my dad moved out one night i was fighting with my
mom
10:33
my sister was beside me listening to music on an mp3
player and we had a sleepover and had no idea what was
going on cause she wasnt drowsy
10:33
my mom takes my sisters mp3 player and throws it at her
face
10:34
bea8918 is typing...
it made a cut and a bruise on the bridge of her nose in
between her eyes and it was a bad bruise
10:34
i started freaking out and i tried to get the house phone
to call my dad but she physically blocked me from it
10:34
she threw the mp3 player so hard it had broken so she
bought a new one and never talked about it again
10:36
whenever i would bring it up she would act like it never
happened and it totally brainwashed me i didnt tell
anyone for two years
10:36
when i told my dad i started out telling him saying i
wasnt sure if it was a dream or not but as i
started explaining it i realized it definitely happend
10:36
my dad literally reported it but they didnt even
check it out
10:37
my mom never hurt us again but she throws shoes at the
wall and shes just unpredictable
10:37
and shes never apologized for it
10:38
my mother never apologizes for anything shen does
10:38
she burned her hand cause she was thinking about my dads
friend
10:38
and said it was me and my sisters fault and always
brought it up
10:39
it was a horrible burn just horrible third degree burns
and her skin was peeling and i cant even explain
how horrible that made me feel
10:39
she till hasnt even apologized fully for that
10:40
bea8918 is typing...
she said well it wasnt completely your fault i
guess
10:40 AM
but she made us feel horrible for over a year over that
10:40 AM
its crazy ive told all this to people and my
sisters have said they want to live at myna dads full
time but they still arent aloud
10:41 AM
by people i mean
10:41 AM
its hard to explain but it was court people
10:42 AM
im not sure who exactly they were
10:42 AM
i just think thats absolutely crazy and it baffles
me
10:43 AM
i was talking to my mom today and we were talking about
how my sisters asked to live ar my dads
10:43 AM
and for some reason she said shell never give up
and stop fighting for them and i was confused as to how
she got to that conclusion she wouldnt be giving
them up shed ben respecting their wishes and doing
whats best for them
10:44 AM
i never brought any of it up
i understand
10:46 AM
im not sure what else to say
10:46 AM
ok
oh anymore questions for me?
10:50 AM
