Hello there, I’m a 21 year old guy from Germany and have very strong depression because of the constant abusive, toxic and manipulative behavior that I received from my parents since I was a kid.
Those strong depression are also the reason why I struggle a lot in life to get anything done by myself and become independent.
I already lived on my own when I was 17 but I failed because of my depression that made me incapable of taking care of myself which is why I moved back to my parents a year ago who only make it way worse for me because they won’t stop hurting me and treating me like a awful person.
I feel so stuck in life and I tried everything from therapy, mental hospital and medications but nothing worked. The burden is just too strong causing me to feel worthless and incapable of living, I have lots of shame, guilt and major anxiety.
It’s like being paralyzed by the fear of life.
My biggest dream always was to get rid of my parents and live independently on my own but I’m just incapable. I wanna get rid of this victim state so bad but I can’t find a way to escape/deal with the hurt.
Is there anything I can do?
Try finding work from home in your environment, maybe some freelance work. Once you’re able and structured from your work, then you’ll feel more safe about caring about yourself and your life. You’re very young, it’s a young age for giving up on everything. Freelance clients are much more understanding than normal office jobs. Build up your confidence and your independence and you’ll get there.
Work from home is the worst possible advice. They would need to escape from home not stay there.
It would be hard to leave home everyday as a depressed person. Also, he has been to therapy and mental hospitals, meaning the whole family is trying something. He couldn’t take care of himself alone. I believe working from home is a good alternative.
