...See more I don't exactly know if this is the right community to post this in, I'm a little confused. Anyway, I try to talk to a few different listeners about the same topic, because I want to hear their different perspectives, is that allowed? I'm not sure why it wouldn't be allowed, but I wanted to make sure.

My parents want to pull me out of in person school...

...See more I was in online school for most of my life, but over time it got really lonely. I didn't have any friends around at all, I barely got to talk to anybody, I was very, very sad. I asked them to put me in an in-person school so that I could actually have friends, and so they did. However, working there is super hard because of my ADHD, so even if I know how to do the work, my grades are still terrible because I turn all of my assignments in too late. They found out how bad my grades were, and said that they would pull me out if the in-person school if they didn't get better, and stay better. I'm very upset now, I don't want to be lonely anymore, but it's so hard to complete any of my work. It's stressing me out, I'm scared, I don't know what to do.

I built a wall...I guess

...See more So um, I don't know how this happened, but I seemed to have built a wall around myself, keeping me away from my family. Not a real one, I just mean that I have become isolated. I don't like to talk about my feelings too much anymore, even if they are referring to my manipulative father, because my mother thinks I'm overreacting. I'm fairly sure that she only thinks this because she had an even worse relationship with her father than I do, but I do think that my father is a bit abusive, and I'm afraid of him. I'm especially afraid of his treatment of my mother, and will get incredibly panicked if they mention anything relating to them arguing, if they disagree, or if they even raise their voice slightly. For example, yesterday my mother told me that my father wants her to quit her job, but she doesn't want to, so my dad told her that he would "make a big scene" to get her fired. My heart immediately started racing, and I had to take a walk to calm down. Now, every time I have something wrong going on, I have this scenario play out in my head where everyone in my family turns on me, saying that I'm just "stupid", or "too emotional". I understand why this is happening, considering that my dad turns things on me all the time, if I accuse him of being wrong at any point in time he'll automatically turn it on me, but that's not exactly the point. It's not good for me to be so afraid of talking about stuff, but I don't know what to do. Any suggestions?

A Little Problem

...See more So, I really love this app so far, but I think that mind's a bit broken. I can't leave conversations with listeners, unless I block them. The only options I have is to hide the conversation, which just makes it not visible until I get another message, or to block and report the listener. I don't know if that's how the app is supposed to work, but it seemed a bit peculiar to me.
