hi
I'm Koy! I'm 18 years old and a senior in high school. I've been on here for about a month and a half. I have a lot of "issues", I have ADHD, anxiety, depression, anorexia, bulimia, purging disorder, EDNOS, restrictive eating disorder, body dysmorphic disorder, and suicidal tendencies. My parents are very controlling and dont believe in therapy, but I am on antidepressants. My parents wont let me get a job to move out or anything. I'm constantly suicidal and just in a pile despair constantly. but anyways, hi.
@koyissues1999 Hello Koy!This is Jennifer.It's a pleasure to meet you.I'm so sorry that you are going through such a hard time.I really wish if I could help you in some way but I'm not qualified enough to help a person who is suicidal.7 cups of tea is not the right place to ask for help if you're suicidal.I request you to call on this number:1-800-273-8255 or you can log on to www.suicide.org for help.I hope you feel better really soon.Stay strong,stay safe,take care of yourself and keep sparkling!And always remember how amazing and special you are!

hey there. Sorry you're going through that.
You say you're 18 so that means you're oficially an adult. Your parents can't stop you from doing what you really want to.
Seems that your family environment is rather toxic for someone who's going through so much.
Well at least know you're safe here and you'll always have support :)
So welcome!
@Booklover95 yes my parents are extremely toxic to me. They are extremely controlling. Its quite terrible and very frustrating
@koyissues1999 Koy, I'm glad you reached out, and hope you've found some support in joining this community. I wanted to share this article I recently read about autonomy. https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/bouncing-back/201106/the-no-1-contributor-happiness?collection=66283
Your parents might be operating on fear for your safety and trying to prioritize that which may definitely feel stifling and controlling to you.
I encourage you to explore ways you can work to seize a level of control over your life through small positive changes!
If you need an ear 1 on 1, don't hesitate to reach out.
All my best,
OF
