My Grandfather at 78 years old, still says, 'I don't know what I want to do when I grow up!' Don't be upset if you don't "find your calling" most of us don't have one. Focus your further education on things that you enjoy and just see where life takes you.

Idk if this will help you but when i'm mad I kinda just shut all the noise and everything out and breath in a couple times then breath out and it kinda helps but I'm not sure, hope this can help :)

update: my brother is pissing me off it's not helping, he's chewing with his f*****g mouth open and smacking his lips and being annoying now I also need help..

Are you mad? Or are you passionate? There is a difference .If you're mad all the time, the distractions will only help for a short while and you should try to consider the cause of the rage. Talking to people (even if they are not a professional) about what is making you mad will help a lot. If you're just passionate, there is nothing wrong with that, you just need to learn when to temper your passions and when to fan the flames.

I have all of my strong feelings (No, it's not love) bottled up inside me, and I never have the chance to let them out. I have anger and trust issues, and I might be depressed. I don't even know how I'm feeling right now, there's too many emotions.

This is a bit of a curve-ball answer, but have you considered taking up a sport or martial art? Muay Thai worked really well for me. I had major anger issues because I didn't understand why I was the way I was, and my anger prevented me from accepting help. I started Muay Thai and within a few months I started feeling a lot better and was willing to accept help and trust the people that wanted to help.

I lost all happiness now that I can't talk to anyone because I'm grounded ik it sounds dumb but my family is also overwhelming and it's hard to keep calm and fake a smile.

Being grounded usually has a time limit right? Just be patient and wait it out. I know parents think you're supposed to use the time to reflect on what you've done wrong, but screw that, pick up a book, do some studying, anything to take your mind off it. Oh and don't ever feel that you have to fake a smile. The only smiles worth seeing are genuine ones, and if it's not worth smiling over, they don't deserve your smile. P.S. Back when I was younger, We got chores when I got grounded, would you believe my parents made me muck out the cow shed and round-up the sheep ON FOOT!
Naima Valdez (Submission author) 4 years ago
That means a lot thank you <3. But I've been grounded since the beginning of 2021 and my dad said he won't even consider giving me my stuff back til 8th grade, CONSIDER eighth grade is in another couple of months, they even took everything from my room and idk I sound like a brat but truly it's a lot there's a lot more stuff I'd rather not say but, Thank you.

If they are both giving milk, chances are they were both pregnant! I've been breeding miniature donkeys and pygmy goats for years, saying goodbye to the babies that I sell is still really difficult, just be brave and trust that you have found them a good home.

I saw the post about your mom's bf but I didn't add anything because there was already good advice from other people. You really must talk to someone who actually is in the position to help you. I understand that you are scared of telling your mom but isn't there a teacher in your school you could talk to?

Don't fake smile, you're telling everyone that you are OK, when you're not. If they can't make you smile, they don't deserve your smile. Maybe you're just worn out by this pandemic, and feeling a bit lonely? I can't help with the silence because I have the opposite problem, I can't shut out the noise. I hear it everywhere and it drives me mad, every car that drives even near my house, every clock, the washing machine, even the wind in the chimney! There is noise everywhere and as soon as you notice it, you'll struggle to ignore it. Just keep your ears open, you'll find something.

I also can shut out noise that’s why when someone yells at me I don’t hear them

I have tons of anxiety that my parents don't know about. They know I have anxiety, but don't know how bad it is. Every night, I have to check every corner, window and closet in my room. Every time I go I to the bathroom I check the shower multiple times. Also, I don't respond to texts because I don't know what the person will say back. I don't reach out to my friends or talk to them about real things because I don't know what they will say about it. I never talk in school because if I have to talk infront of people, I get lightheaded and sweaty. Every morning and most nights I have a stomachache from anxiety. I think I have an anxiety disorder, but don't tell anyone because the one time I told someone, they laughed. I have suffered from depression and suicidal thoughts but dont tell anyone because I am scared that I will have to go to therapy or something. I lied at my doctors appointment about not being impacted by anxiety or depression. I comfort myself by thinking, maybe I won't even live to that, so I won't have to deal with it. I don't talk about my feelings because I want to fit in. My parents know something is wrong, but every time I try to talk about it, I feel like I can't breathe. Sorry if I am rambling, but I just really needed to get it out.
