My ice is thin you know
So I’m too scared to let warmth in
Because it’s oh so deep below
And I don’t know how to swim
———————————————
I’m conflicted and troubled and letting ppl in. I know I have a problem and 4 yrs of that won’t go away without help, but I can’t tell my parents that the very person they brought to the world wants to leave it.
My dad confronted me yesterday at his house. He said "you have a problem hunny, and you let it get to you..."
That's the first time my dad looked at me, and I felt like he knew my pain. Like he was seeing into me. Like he knew. He's known all along and it was okay.
He told me I needed to treat myself better. To start working out....
I hope this helps you
Your posting on here is a good first step.
Is there anyone besides your parents that you can talk to? Posting here about anything & everything you’re going through is always good, but nothing beats a face-to-face conversation.
Hey, Life is painful. We come into the world full of hope and sometimes we face things that brings us to our knees. The advice to seek out help from others is key to overcoming and realizing your parents may not be the ones you can speak to is wisdom. They love and adore you and want more than anything for you to live a happy and successful life. They may not know how to communicate with your hurt, so don't cut them from your life but know they are struggling with your reality and may respond negatively out of fear. My advice is to seek out help. I was helped by listening to counselors talk to other @newlife.com they also have a number 1-800-NEW-LIFE and another resource is 1-855-771-HELP. Hope to hear a positive report soon.
I think your right but it’s hard to find help especially when you can’t talk to the ppl closest to you
It is. I struggled for years wanting my parents to see where I was and they could not see it. I wanted their help and I thought they should be the ones who were there for me but I learned they didn't have the resources within themselves to help me. Its like going to the donut shop and ordering a burger....they don't have them no matter how many times you go back to the donut shop they won't have a burger. Your parents are like the donut shop, you need them to help you and you keep asking but they truly don't have the ability to help you. I got hung up on my parents inability to help me and it made my depression worse. Not until I looked to outside sources did I even have the ability to understand this myself. I allowed my real hurt to be compounded by my parents inability to help me. Hope this helps.
