guys i genuinely feel so scared and stuck
i recently had to go back home to my abusive (used to be physically but just emotionally/mentally now) parents from vacation with my sister at her place. and im not sure how niche or unique this is but when you get the feeling of freedom just once when youve been conditioned in a very negative environment, it feels very suffocating to be back. i already tried to get majority of the tears out the first 2 days i got back but now i just feel stuck and unmotivated to do anything. i cant find the motivation to do one of my hobbies and if i do, i dont feel any joy or happiness from it. it also doesnt help that ive recently had to start my senior year of high school (aka the last year before college) and i dont have a lot/any friends in most of my classes. ive been forcing myself to put on a fake smile and make friends so i can have a nicer experience but everything is too much at once. im going to have to sit alone at lunch every other day and it makes me so scared to not be around someone im comfortable with because of all this change. it overall scares me to be seen as lonely because i feel like so much of an outcast. im trying to hold on since its my last year and ill be able to have complete freedom after, but i feel like im aimlessly wandering right now with no coping mechanisms to help with all this stress and change. i genuinely do not know what to do and im just so done with everything. the only thing i want to do is sleep away the next year and fast forward to graduation so i can finally leave. it might also just be senioritis but i have absolutely no coping mechanisms to keep me motivated nowadays.

Although it’s easier said than done, I would try to think one step at a time. You’re already stressed about school and moving back with your parents, don’t worry about the future too much right now. Here’s a little letter I wrote for myself one day when I was feeling really peaceful, maybe it’ll help you too :) let me know if the link doesn’t work, or if you need to talk some more, I can try to listen, at the very least

you're such an angel, thank you so much
I think a great way that would help you is to do a vent art or mainly journal your feelings, it can help you release these feelings out in a way without bottling it up. Also try listening to music or playing some games and watch some funny vids online they actually can help boost ur happiness abit. Sorround urself with positive stuff if u have tiktok, I suggest going to #hopecore
thank you, i'll do that. its just hard to do anything without feeling like its pointless
It's okay to feel like that sometimes
