ARRRRGH FRUSTRATION!

I need to vent right now, and I need someone to listen, because apparently mum thinks talking to her about it is "taking it out on her" and "blaming her"

 

I feel like screaming and crying and I'm just annoyed and frustrated and I feel hurt and used and I just don't even know what to even do right now 😞

 

Issue: My brother. I know I've asked you all for help before and it kind of helped but right now it's not and I cannot cope with the crap anymore. I legit cannot cope. I'm breaking!

 

I spend time helping him, advising him on the process for TAFE, I tell him where to go and what he will need to give them to apply for a fee concession. I print things and scan them in (because even though he has the same printer he "Cannot do it" (his words) so I do it. I help him. Because that is what family is for right? TO help each other?  But he doesn't use his manners. He doesn't say please or even thank me for doing anything for him! Like ARGH! And no one sees the issue with it!

 

Anyway so I asked him to do one thing, because at that point things were okay, and he ignores me. And then says he refuses and makes this whole scene about how he's now going to help. By this point dad asks him to as dad is doing a spray cert for work online. Anyway so he still refuses and dad gets annoyed and says he's lazy. So dad ends up doing it.

After a bit all shit breaks out with my brother and I don't even know how it started, like he was saying how I wasn't related and I was adopted and had no brain. Like he's being so disrespectful at this point. And dad jumps in and says to shut up and turns his movie on loud. So it just drains everything out. And so my brother goes back to his room and I was talking to mum just airing how frustrated I was and then she tells me to stop taking it out on her. Like I was just talking to her, I was using a calm voice even! Like What?  😞

 

And I'm crying and I just feel used and walked over, and I hate how when I stand up for myself against my brother he just attacks me even more. And if I say nothing he tells me how weak and pathetic I am 😞 I just cannot do anything right. I feel like no one even appreciates anything I do around home like I do the cooking and washing of dishes, I ensure there is clean towels, face washers, and bathmats for the bathroom, I'm flat out doing practically everything and no one else helps! 😞

 

It's like for every 5 minutes I get of nice him I get rude him for 30mins attacking me

Oh and he's just dropped out of school, so he'll be home all day every day (he's going to do TAFE online like me) arrrrgghg 

 

I'm just so over it

Thanks @scared01 I just feel like I'm being used. And I feel like I'm not appreciated. I just don't even know right now. I just feel sad 😞

having read all of that its understandable you would be feeling like that now. can you give yourself some space from it all? we were just chattting about a bath and movie- perhaps that would be a good idea as abit of self care and just taking some time away from it @Bee

Hopefully that helps me calm down a bit more 🙂
Thanks @scared01 ❤️

Dang it I hate when that happens @Bee! On the other hand, how are you feeling now? I can definitely hear your frustrations and I agree with @scared01, it's understandable that you are frustrated by all this, I would too if I was in your position.

I'm not feeling okay @Esperanza67 😞

I'm in the bath but can hear everything my brother is saying and how he's mocking and downgrading me. And it's too much 😞

@Bee really not okay - I am feeling your pain right now and want you to know that we are all here. Would you be up for a helpline? KHL could have ideas? Otherwise we can keep chatting here with the crew 🙂

@Bree-RO honestly I would rather send an email to my psych right now, (which is what I am going to do)
I won't call tonight because I know people will listen and then judge me for it. And I'm not up to going for a walk or even a drive to get someplace where I can freely talk.

There are unhelpful and negative thoughts circling my mind, and I'm trying so so hard to shut them out and lock them up. And I'm trying so hard to ignore them...

I'm sorry to hear that @Bee :(. Sending an email to your psych sounds like a good idea.

I can hear your struggles about trying to ignore these negative thoughts... have you managed to have the bath once it's cooled down?

@Esperanza67 yeah 🙂

Yeah I tested with my wrist and it was okay after a bit 🙂
I'm now watching station 19 and colour to distract from the thoughts

Esperanza67Posted 10-05-2018 09:46 PM
Hey @Bee, I'm happy to hear that you're still persevering to distract from the thoughts. May I ask what is station 19 about? I've never of it. Is it any good?

BeePosted 10-05-2018 10:02 PM
@Esperanza67 Station 19 is a bit of an offshoot from Greys Anatomy season 14, from when Ben Warren (CHaracter) quits Surgery to be a fire-fighter. So it's about the whole team in a similar way to Grey's Anatomy, it goes through their daily lives, as they attend to calls as they come through. It's only just started in March 🙂

Esperanza67Posted 10-05-2018 10:06 PM
Probably that's why I've never heard of it as it's fairly new @Bee. I've only seen an episode or two of Grey's Anatomy so I'm not as familiar with the show but I find it interesting how Ben decides to change his career from surgery to firefighting

BeePosted 10-05-2018 10:44 PM
@Esperanza67 He went from an anaesthetist to a surgeon to a firefighter 😛
I like the newer seasons compared to the older ones 🙂

@Bree-RO I remember watching Friends when I was little! But I never watched all of it, I've actually never found them to watch either lol

Bree-ROPosted 10-05-2018 10:25 PM

never got into Grey's feel like I am missing out on this bond! @Bee @Esperanza67

 

I'm ya classic FRIENDS freak. Plus IT Crowd hahaha.
