I can't talk to my family about my problems. What should I do?

I cannot talk to my family either. It feels like my husband is trying to take my kids from me by making me unfit and saying things to set me off all the time. I have major depression issues and he does not love me.

My brother has is 30 an has 3 kids. Hes a drinking an drug (coke) but now hes been taking yellows of the internet an has completely of the rails. He went missing for a full week an has been in hospital twice because of it. Ive tryd to talk to him an hes just punchd me an told me to f off. He dsnt want to help himself an i know i cant. What do i do? I txtd him today to tell him i cant go thru this any more. Can anyone help me to help him?

Talk to someone who wants to listen. Talk to a friend/family member/counselor/someone on here. Someone will help you. If you need anything, i am here.

If biasness is your concern, then you must always consider going and meeting a person whom you do not know and vice versa i.e. a therapist. He/She can help you to cope with your concerns.

My dad has been verbally abusive to me in the past and it caused me to close myself off from him and a chain reaction ensued where I didn't trust anyone. I never understood at the time what a family was or its purpose. A family is there to support and love. And at times discipline and teach. Is your problem going to change the way your family views you?

I have this problem ever since I was little and until today. It always feel like a heavy burden to me, and i always feel so alone. But the greatest thing is i have someone who cares about me so much that he's willing to listen to my vents. And it helps a lot for me, to have someone who is willing to listen to me and help me figure out a way to rebuild myself and find my solutions. I hope this helps for you who need it as well :)

I've got the same actually and I usually talk to my closest friend about absolutely everything. Or I talk to someone on 7 cups.

There are two possible reasons why you can't. 1 - You don't want to, which is perfectly fine. It's your own life and your problems are personal, keeping them to yourself is ok. Unless they have to support you financially which then gets trickier. 2 - You worry they will not understand. That is also ok. Sometimes, people, can't understand some concepts even if they want to. The best way, if you want them to know your problems is to start introducing your problems to them gradually. See reaction and maybe continue to go deeper on them. No matter what you do, best of luck. Hope I helped.

can i know what's ur proble that you can't tell ur family? maybe u can share a little bit about ur story and l'll be here waiting ur story :)

I understand that it can be difficult at times to talk with your family. But there are many other people willing to listen to your problems!

There are many services out the for you, there are online services like us and then there will be services in person, if you ask your doctor he/she will give you a list of options that are best suited for you.

Confide in the people that support you and have your best interests at heart. Outsiders always seem to understand more.

You can write daily. This will relax you. Everything annoys you staying in . Therefore, the need to share immediately.

Maybe you can talk to friends, or a listener on 7 cups of tea or maybe you can keep a diary to practice expressing your problems and feelings.

It doesn't always necessarily have to be a family member you have to talk to. Its the person you trust the most.

Here we give all kind of listeners for your assistance. The information and even the issues are all confidential

I understand that, for some reason, that doesn't seem possible right now. Who do you think you can talk to?

Sometimes the people you care about the most are the hardest to talk to. Have you thought about talking to a friend, or someone from 7 cups of Tea, or a pastor?

You can try to talk to your friends. You are never alone in this world, support is always around :)

If you have not already, let your family know that this bothers you very much that you cannot express how you feel to them. If it still persists, then, seek guidance from a close friend. A therapist is another great option, too, to vent. Best wishes. - Nate

There are many times when a family member may be the wrong person to turn to for a problem, and it's ok to understand and feel that way. Seeking help from friends, peers, teachers, professionals, or even here at communities like 7cups, is a way to work your problems into a more manageable stage; before you bring them to family member (if you so choose to). After all biological family can be important, but it's also who we make our family that counts.

It's very hard for people with mental illnesses or other issues that are not widely common to talk to other people about our problems because it's hard for us to understand much less try to explain and put into words for someone else to comprehend. If it's a problem with your family not being able to understand your particular issues see if they'd be open to attending a group chat or forum with other people who face the same issues you have. This would be beneficial to both you and them. You can usually find group chats both locally and online (we offer them here) so it would be your choice on whatever you feel comfortable with. If it's a problem with you not being comfortable speaking with them try reaching out to someone close by who you do feel comfortable with. A friend, a more distant relative ( Grandmother, etc) or even a listener here. It's good to get the feelings you have out and work through whatever you're dealing with. When you allow yourself to open up you find the tools to manage your issues you can start your journey on the road to healing and recovery.

You should try to find the cause for this feeling and try to overcome it.. Also listeners on 7 cups are always happy to help :)

Talk to them about possibly getting a psychologist. I did this, and it helps because he's trained to talk to parents when their kids have difficulties communicating with them.

You can try speaking to Listeners here at 7 Cups- you can additionally try a therapist or a third party to discuss your problems and a potential next step. You can also discuss the matter with your trusted friends. If you want to start a dialogue with your family, you can try by first having a discussion with them about why you want to tell them about your problems. When I feel that I cannot talk to my family or friends about my problems, I either try a therapist or write down my feelings. I am a huge fan of journaling :)

The internet is a great place to express feelings in a carefree manner, if you are unable to trust or just don't want to be judged by those you care about. Directly ask your questions into an internet search and try to find forums that have similar worries as yourself. They are a great outlet.

Either give it a try anyways or use friends or websites like these for support. There's always someone somewhere willing to listen.

Talk to a school administrator, your doctor, or one of the multiple help hotlines available 24/7.

so i burnt some paper in a church. and the person at this meeting called the church and the church called an investigator. What should i do. because only my dad knows about this and i want to pay for the damages but i am afraid that if my dad calls the church the church will tell the investigator. so i am in a TIGHT spot right now should i get a lawyer to help me??

If you are unable to speak with your family about your problems, I would try to find another trusted adult. Find another adult or close friend you can speak to and they will guide you in the right direction.
