Hello all,

I am living with parents currently to save expenses - I've learned I've taken 5 steps back and have gone into my high school days of locked in a room, listening to hard rock music (loudly), and feeling completely stuck in the situation. I work full time and have a part-time job. I am seeking other FT work but, feel stuck. I have a parent who is a type A personality, OCD, and likes to berate me, i.e., "You're a stupid bastard!", "Shut the f... up!"...amongst other words, in particular; my mum would just sit quietly.

I realize above matter is a small point but, would like insight.

Thank you.

Hi Rico,

I'm sorry that you have had to give up independence and are also working so hard, unhappy maybe, with your full time job? It's tough feeling stuck in your job.

Have you heard the term "toxic parent"? That's your type A parent without a doubt. This is not a small point. You are, for now, living with someone who is toxic to your health. Your goal needs to be getting away from this parent as much as possible as soon as possible and not ever being around him unless he makes significant changes for the good. Particularly concerning you.

It's not okay to call you names and put you down using foul language. It DOES exact a price from you, one you can ill afford. You asked for insight and I'm presenting this insight to you. I hope it helps you set priorities.

You don't say whether you're seeing a doctor or on medication and for what. You sound like you're fighting depression. What's your treatment status?

Take care,

Hugs, Love, and Blessings...

I appreciate your insight, BonnieSue!

Yes. Without a doubt I need to remove myself from the environment I am surrounded by. It doesn't help my mother by snapping back as a retort, she's been through both physical and verbal abuse by my father. So, I can see why she continues to support the matter. So, attempting to discuss anything with her causes a chain reaction to my father, who, in turns, starts with the verbal abuse towards me. For now, I am keeping my distance until I figure out another path to leave. And, no I'm not on medication for depression. I am a type I diabetic so not sure how other meds will interact with what I currently take.

Hi again, I found these articles for you:

About depression in type 1 diabetes:

beyondtype1.org/depression-...

This link worked for me but if it doesn't for you, just take beyondtype1.org

and that alone should work.

About how drugs for depression in type 1 diabetes help the patient have better control over their diabetes:

medpagetoday.com/endocrinol...

I couldn't get to all of this 2nd article due to pop-ups and a faulty registration pop-up, but it seems helpful for the part I could read. Imagine that!! Better medical management of your diabetes and better depressive treatment happening together with taking an antidepressant!

Best wishes for you! Hugs, Love, and Blessings...
