Witnessing.

...See more This is a hard subject for myself to come to turns with because it is so recent. This year I have witnessed my rolemodel physically, emotionally and financially abuse my Mother. Without going into too much details, how do you find hope and faith when all of that is lost? I thought my family would never be in a situation like this, I mean I had to physically step in between my parents because I was scared that it was going to be life or death, I witnessed my Dad control my mother and her response to me was "I'm strong, I deserve it" while she walked away in tears, it hurt me to see the ones I love attack eachother like this. I have seen things that I wish I could just forget but constantly hanging over my head. I feel selfish to feel this way, I'm only 17 years old, I shouldn't ever have to feel unsafe at home or fear my loves one, but I would pretty much prefer to be anywhere but home, I'm scared and I don't know what to do. My mother has seen someone about it and trying to get things sorted, I mean my Dad he is a great guy inside, but he needs serious help, he has really bad Depression and he's had it all of my life, my Dad was my rolemodel, I want everything to get better but I feel helpless and lost. I feel like I'm doing this alone, it's been 7 weeks since the last one and everyone seems to be happy and getting along except for me. I guess I'm just writing this down to know im not doing this alone and that there are others who are experiencing the same problems.
Someone?

...See more I stare at the darkness at night thinking a million thoughts which tend to be negative thoughts, I start to hyperventilate until the point where I am light headed, my heart is racing a million beats per second or where I feel like my throat is choking and I cannot get any air in, where my chest burns and it takes me hours to relax. Im that person who holds in everything until they're home somewhere were they can pour it out and tell their mum, but that changed a long time ago, now I hold in everything until it is night where I can release it, sometimes it just builds up too much and I start worrying about major stuff to minor stuff like what time is it in the night. I have probably the worst social anxiety ever, it's so hard for me to talk to anyone because I think about what I'm going to say and when it comes out it doesn't make sense, probably not even English, I get really really embarrassed when I do stuff up, I stop talking and when people notice and tease me my confidence goes back five steps backwards then five steps forward, I believe last year tore my confidence apart, two years ago I was gaining confidence but then I lost it all, I have very low self esteem so it's hard to be me I guess infront of people, when I'm at home I'm fine but in public I am just the worse, if I make a mistake when ordering something and not giving enough or too much change, I repeatedly say sorry like I had done something terrible. It generally just sucks and I want to be happy.
