Advice

What do you guys do when you’re feeling stressed and overwhelmed? What are some helpful tips?

I am currently feeling like I give to much out of genuine and sincere actions and although I don’t expect anything in return I feel like I am constantly getting taken advantage of by my siblings. My sister moved into my room without my approval (my stepdad and mom kicked her out of hers) bc she cannot follow simple rules or help around the house when asked. She is 23. I worked so hard to get and re model my room and it’s so small I sometimes cry from frustration inside. There are days where I want to go off and kick her out but I keep it to myself. She is messy, dirty, wears my clothes, perfume, everything I buy with my own money and I boil inside. She is my oldest sister. I’m not a selfish person. That’s my sister but she is super super cheap and stingy I am always buying her food, Starbucks, lending her money and she cannot even buy me a coffee without expecting something in return. I have been there for my sister through it all. She has gone to mental hospitals for the past two years and I have gone dead broke for her. She is my other half. I would do anything for her. Please help idk what to do

I see you're fairly new, so welcome!Let's see...

Deep breathing

Going somewhere to be alone and just chill

Doing hobbies -- what do you enjoy doing?

That's all I can think of for now.

Mediation! I recommend the headspace app

Hi - I would try and find some space maybe go outside and take some deep breathes if you feel like its getting too much. Also try slowly counting back from ten - zero or saying the alphabet inside your head to help distract and occupy your mind.
