a very bad week

[Guest ShyLittleLee]

sorry i just need to rant for a bit since i have no one to talk to,

 

so far its been a very bad week for me, i always feel like im not good enough for my family, my parents are trying to get me to learn how to drive our stick shift cause my dad needed  to use the truck this week for work which i dont mind learning to drive the stick i think it would be a good thing to learn but when they teach me how to drive it all they do is yell at me which my my anxiety act up and i start crying then my mom gets mad and yells more threatening to smack me if i dont shape up and act like an adult, and ive only just started learning how to drive the car and my dad already wants me to take the dog to the vet, go to the store, take my sister to school. Its just to hard for me and i dont know what to do, like today my mom got mad at me for not wanting to drive it in the snow its not like i control the weather i just didnt feel comfortable driving in in the snow especially  with my two siblings in the car with me. I just dont know what to do and every night when i cook dinner my mom gets upset cause it not good enough or something like that. i have a shity phone that dos'nt always have signal or if i do its shity she came down this morning and starting yelling at me cause i didnt answer her text so she yelled at me saying that i deleted it and then went back to sleep ( the message ended coming after 20 minutes after she left for work) 

 

everything just sucks my anxiety is through the roof laitly and i just feel sick all the time and all i want to do is sleep

Sorry to hear you are having it rough. A tip for stick: imagine your feet are on each side of a see-saw. Your clutch foot is two feet from the pivot and your accelerator foot is one foot from the pivot. Pushing the clutch down, your accelerator foot comes up, and vice versa. The travel of the clutch is much further than the travel of the accelerator.

So imagine your feet are on that imaginary see-saw... and only shift when your clutch is all the way down

I can relate!

 

My Dad, since past, tried to teach me to drive, play tennis and so many things, but would get so frustrated with me.

 

When I was 15 we planned a driving vacation from Sacramento to San Diego. We got a mile from the house, i pulled over, shut the car off and started walking back to the house with my backpack.

 

Maybe you can ask a family member or friend of the family to sub for your parents? A neighbor? How about one of your girlfriend's parents? Take it out of your relationship with your parents for everybody's sake.

 

Sounds like things are rough now on many fronts. Give yourself a hug and forgive your parents, because most of the time they are in over their heads. I will tell you a secret...they haven't clue. You will realize that later in life and laugh at things that they made a fuss about. Take care of yourself. Learn what makes you happy. In the end, you can always take the bus. Hugs
