...See more I have some words that I have a lot of anger when they are said towards me, and I'm trying to untangle those feelings. My parents would always call me cute, which doesn't sound like a big deal, but I always asked them to stop or stop treating me like a baby. Calling me cute was like a way they were doing that and it trampled over my boundaries and it hurt. They also call me abnormal whenever I did something that they didn't think was normal. Their definition of normal is very small: extroverted, sociable, physically affectionate. I'm none of those things. I feel like the odd one out in my family. They tell me I'm close minded, but I feel like that's them. I get so irrationally angry when I'm called cute or abnormal, and I don't want to be. I want it to stop.

...See more Today I was submitting a college application, and it honestly seems like more trouble than its worth. I'm only in it because I know that I have to get away and it will get better otherwise I would have dropped out of the whole process. My sister was all up in my case. Because she gave me ideas of what to write for my supplemental, she's acting like I'm beholden to her. Like I have to change my behaviour and she cannot accept that I didn't check my phone and see her message when she sent it ten minutes ago and she got really mad for some reason. And my mom agreed with her. My mom is acting like my sister is just saying what she's thinking and feeling. And she always complains about me to my sister. As I was submitting my application, I was reading it aloud to my mom, and both my mom and sister had problems with the way I was talking and my voice of all things. I can't change my voice. I just feel so trapped. There's nothing I can do to make my life better. And this isn't new. They've always been like this. I wish I could tell them how they make me feel. And when they say that my voice and the things that I do are stupid, it makes me feel like I'm stupid and worthless. I don't deserve to live. I know that they're not right to do this but why would they do it if they were wrong about me? Anyone else having family problems?

...See more Sometimes when I'm happy, I feel so okay like everything else is going to be normal forever. But then when I get depressed, I can barely remember the happy. And when I am depressed, and suicidal, I don't even feel weird or unable to cope. It's so normal for me now, I think my body has gotten used to it. I feel like I should feel more or be more aware of how bad I know I feel. Anyone else?
