I'm in one of those moods where nothing seems to matter...
How are you feeling?

It's me again with my depressing life. My friend just asked me if I was at a party she actually took me too. I'm that invisible. Great.

I think my parents what me to stay a child forever because then they don't have to worry about me going off on my own and fuc*ing up somehow. In turn, it's made me afraid of a lot of things I shouldn't fear. Example, I left for 20 min to get my schedule for work and get a few groceries and when I came home my dad freaked out on me, like I was gong out and not coming home for whatever reason. He said I was being disrespectful for not telling anyone where I was going when I apparently "spend off". I could understand if I was 16years old but I'm 22. He won't even teach me how to pay bills when I offer to pay my phone bill/car insurance. Also, last year I said I wanted to move into a dorm and my mom would allow it because she thought the campus life would corrupt me. I really have no idea how to be an adult because they won't let me learn some of this on my own. I'm not saying I don't need help on some things, but I want some independence...thats all. I don't think Im asking for too much.

University work is bumming me out. This is what I get for offering to work extra hours on top of Uni this month. I have my evenings free but they're spent sat at this damn pc doing Uni stuff! I'm getting sick of seeing this screen when I know there's better things I could be doing, and getting stressed out with it is making me procrascinate even more! It sounds really minor but it's starting to drag down my mood which has been really high for months. I want to go out with friends each night whilst my mood is high, but I'm stuck here yet again.
Wish I had something to look forward to to break up the drudgery of it all (aside from my extra work hours ending the end of this month!).

Worst case scenario, you may have to basically force the change on them and go it alone. Hopefully there are more diplomatic solutions, are you receiving therapy? Could you word your advice, treatment, issues, in such a way that they will recognize it in themselves... and lead by example? I think you should start a thread about it.

The research project can help you grow as a person. New experiences..that what breaks the cycle.

I should, my whole family has anxiety problems..My mom and brother being bipolar and my dad joking that he only likes "staying in his ten mile radius" from the house. Wanting to go out and have fun...they see that as being disrespectful. But they won't communicate it to me.
I was doing okay last year because I learned how to communicate my issues to the people I work with. I didn't overanalyze things and if I was doing something wrong I told them I had no problem hearing critiques so I could fix them.
In fact, my uni offers therapy. I've wanted to check it out in the past but never had the ambition to do it before. But I'm ready to change.

New experiences tend to stimulate me out of my ground state depression.
But the new never lasts....

Sorry to hear it, mate. Those feelings really suck.
Maybe she knew you were there but, because you weren't partying and being social like everyone else, it was more of a rhetorical question, and it was basically a question as to why you weren't being as open as you could've been. Just a guess but I'm sure she wouldn't have forgotten you were there.
Do either of your parents have separation anxiety? Because that's one reason why they're acting that way. They want you to stay a kid and dependent so you can't flourish on your own.
I mean, it could be a variety of reasons why they're sheltering you so much (my mum does the same, so I can kind of relate), but that's one that pops out for me.

Oh God yeah, I hate that: too tired to wake, too tired to sleep, trapped in my own head.
I hope the Sandman comes your way soon.
