I might just go ahead and give up. Good-bye. (Part 2)

IHS (I hate subtitles.)

I didn't get to finish my article in its entirety yesterday so I'm back at the ol' computer trying to finish putting words to screen.

The reason I hate my parents is because they are both unemployed. I am the only one at home working. The only reason I still live at home is because my parents expect me to. If I didn't live at home I'd be living on the streets. I make like $400 a month. That's it. I pay my parents $100 a month (or $50 a paycheck) for "room and board."

I want to fucking kick them in the heads sometimes. I was diagnosed as clinically depressed when I was in the 8th grade. When we got home they said that I lied on the test that they gave me. They said "Get over yourself."

The first time I remember being depressed like this was in 4th grade. My dad told me he was disappointed in me because I lied to them about something. I don't remember what it was. He told me to go to my room and I did. I had this plastic credit card sized tag that came on my Harley-Davidson shoes and I was saving. Well, I picked it up and started scraping it across the top of my hand until I bled. When my dad saw it, I didn't care that he was mad, that he was freaked out and started crying. I didn't care. I felt somewhat better.

In 7th grade I first heard about cutting. It sounded intriguing to me. I tried it the next time my dad pissed me off. It felt so good to feel the blood running down my wrist and arm. I licked it off and shivered with the wonderful taste of it.

Last night I was at work and I wanted to jump off the roof. We have a ladder going to the roof for when they put things on the roof and I kept saying I was gonna climb the ladder and jump off. Everyone laughed and thought I was joking because they thought I was frusterated because we were so busy.

Later, I was supposed to get off at 10:00p (I closed for a guy who had to be to the group home by 11:00p), I was so pissed off that I started to cry. I went in the back room and stood there and cried. Then one of the guys there that I can stand came back and asked what was wrong. I told him I was depressed and he said, "There's three possibilities. One, you're pregnant. Two, you're overtired. Three, you're depressed." Then I said, "I wish my mom (my biological one) was here. I need a hug." He asked if he could give me one. I said yes. He gave me a hug and I cried on his shoulder. Then I showed him the scars on my wrists and he asked what happened. I told him they were from a couple of weeks ago, when I was depressed.

So things still suck. I work with him again tonight.

I love y'all.

Lovvens,

While I could be reading this all wrong, it sounds like you've got a friend at work, which I would say is a good thing. I have to wonder how your parents can keep the three of you in a home if the only source of income is you, especially with the numbers your saying. If they can manage three of you off of 100 a month, then it should be easy for you to do yourself on 400.

I'm sorry you're having a rough time Grins, i have enjoyed your writings, and i have been where you are at before. But self mutilation is not the answer. A former girlfriend of mine who is... let's say "chemically imbalanced" (not that i think you are, but she was...trust me) was a cutter. It used to tear my heart out when she would get upset about something and the next time i would see her, she had fresh wounds on her legs, thighs, or any place she thought nobody would see. But being her boyfriend and getting to see her naked on a regular basis, i was witness to the whole thing. In the end she did stop doing it, but we had broken up before she finally stopped doing it. I think she finally found the peace of mind she was looking for, and i wish her the best.

Can i ask how old you are? If you are legal age, you need to leave the nest for your own sake. It's time for you to step out of the darkness Grins

Danny: I pay for everything of mine. Clothes, food, rides to and from school and work, and anything else that I want or need. Since it's Christmas time I have to pay for their X-mas presents on my own. Then they say "Oh, well things may be kinda tight around here for X-mas." But they still expect me to spend $40 on each of them. Then the other day they told me I need to ask for less hours. I don' t know what they're trying to do to me. I've been so stressed since my dad lost his job. He was on unemployment. And yes I do have one "friend" at work. Only problem is that it's only at work. I can't call him to talk, because his wife is a retard and thinks that she owns him. If another girl even looks at him she freaks out.

Thatoneguyinslc: Thanks. I know I am depressed. I was told by a teacher that I needed to go to the doctor (this was during my senior year) and get some medication. My parents flipped out. They said that I was just craving attention and that I got it from this teacher. I am 19. I can't afford to leave. Maybe next fall I can live in one of the dorms at school instead of with my parents. It would be nice to not constantly be under their scrutiny.

Thanks all. If you want to add me to your buddy list I have AIM and my screenname is catdriverdoug.
