I'm not really happy right now. Feeling slightly bi-polar, if I'm honest.
I think it might help if you got out of the house, away from your family for a bit! :)

Are you able to work at all? If so, could you find a job doing something, even if it's just for a few hours a week, working at a music store, or somewhere you have an interest in? I think it would be very beneficial for you!

^ Please tell me you're doing to do that! :D

Hahaha, I may have tried it had I not noticed my reflection in the screen so early on when I was working on keeping a straight face ::p:

Feeling a bit strange this evening for several reasons really. I'm glad my friend has found a boyfriend, and one who looks after her... but she's always texting him when we're out together... but as soon as she's at his for a few days we never hear from her (and normally she texts loads every day). As soon as she leaves his... back start the texts.
I'm not annoyed as such... I just find it a little disappointing and can't help but feel that it's a little bit... wrong that it's like that?
I dunno. I'm just rambling.
I feel strange for a number of reasons.
I even looked at my cat earlier and it nearly brought a tear to my eye haha.
It's PMT.

I feel ok I guess. The australian open started which for a die hard tennis fan like myself is absolute heaven. I only have a few days left of school then I get to chill for a week because I exempted my only exam this term:D

Oh that's right, I forgot that was today! Yay tennis :D

Unfortunately, I'm not able to work on account of my disability (cerebral palsy), which does limit me quite a bit.
 
I'm feeling really sad. I feel like a disaster. I need to find a new job asap, cuz otherwise I cannot pay the rent. I'm very broke atm. I need a life NOW! My parents control my whole life. It's been like this, since I was born. If I see other ppl, I'm so happy for them, cuz they've reached many goals in life and have a bf or husband and children. I'm 25 now, never had a bf. I haven't reached many goals. I have no say. I still have to ask my parents for permission. My life seems so pointless. My life is not much different than 10 years ago. I need a bf and more friends. Right now I only got 1 friend and a few from the net. My parents never let me go and never let me do the things that I wanna do. They always decide what I should do. They forced me to live in a house that I never wanted. I always wanted to live in a small cozy apartment. I cry almost every night. I'm becoming mad. Help me, please! I don't wanna end up alone.

You're never alone in the world full of billions. There is always hope, always a person who will stand by your side. Sometimes the best things come to the most patient. I'm sure things will get better. :)

I know how you feel. My situation is similar, only I'm a guy with no gf ::p:, and zero friends. I wish I could help, but all i can say is that you shouldn't give up hope and that many folks on here understand how you feel. :)

Awww, thanks Iluv! Thanks for your support! But I don't think things will change much. I'm a nobody.

You're not a nobody. You are important, just like everyone else. I've stated this on here a lot, but the "self-fulfilling prophecy" thing is a very common "malady" that we face. We believe that we are going to be miserable, that misfortune will befall us in some way, so we unconsciously begin to act in a way to propogate misfortune. Things will change for you, you've just got to fight for that change and believe in it:). What do you want to change?

I just wanna live my own life. I'm almost 26 now. I don't want interference from my parents. They want us to have a bf/gf and wanna have grandchildren, but it won't work like this. They want their children to be independant, but at the same time they never gave us freedom. They even get mad if they see what I've bought for my house, for instance last week I bought a deep frier. They thought it wasn't neccesary. They decide almost everything for me. They even tell me that I should not look for a foreign bf, cuz that's difficult for the communcation and his family lives far away, blah blah blah. They sometimes even decide what kind of clothes I should wear and how my hair cut should be. Even when I'm making an omelette they still need to snatch away my kitchen equipment to take over the cooking. If I'm talking to my mom, my dad always interfere, even when he's far away. If the postman comes, my dad wants to read all my post. My parents force me to eat with them daily, cuz they think it's cheaper, cuz then I don't have to pay my own food. I have my own ****ing house! I need to learn how to cook, but I have no chance! I pay more than 600 euro rent only for sleeping and breakfast. I live on my own, but I have totally no privacy. I've talked many times with my parents, but things won't work out. They are sociopaths in my opinion. They even think they give us much freedom, which is not. My dad is pretty old for a dad, and he want his kids to take care of him. I do wanna take care of him in the future, but not now. I need my own life and career first. What can I reach if it goes on like this? Nothing! You might laugh at me and think I'm joking, but I'm not.

First off, I would never laugh at something that's bothering another.

I can kinda understand how you feel. My family wants me to act on my own and voice my opinion, but, whenever I do, my opinion is either shut down, no one listens, or they don't take it seriously. I'd love to buy my own clothes, yet they always make me wear what they want me to wear. It's almost as if I don't exist or have an opinion. I guess the only way out of this is to do things forcefully. If they won't listen to your words, then make them listen to your actions, show them that you're grown and can make your own decisions. If they have a problem with something you've bought, tell them that it's your money and you'll spend it however you please. If you want to cook and they take something away from you, take it back and tell them that you can handle it.

Ugh, feeling sick. I think I've caught someone's cold when I went to Sydney last weekend. Music and breakfast pizza are helping at the moment, but I feel a bit run-down.

Have you discussed this with your parents? Tell them you're 25 now and you are capable of running your own life. Apply for heaps of jobs, too...hopefully you get a bite.

Sorry to hear you cry every night. It's obviously something that's weighing you down and, with any luck, you can push off and start living the life you want, not what your parents want.
