I am tired of life. Anonymous 116028
Sometimes, I wish I had the courage to just “do it”.
But I’m entering my late 20s and dealing with family enmeshment with seemingly no way out of it.
Imagine being told what you should and shouldn’t do at my age? Even something as innocuous as starting a hobby is discouraged in my household.
But even if I got the chance to paint— would I even do it? Despite dreaming of being a consistent painter, the small chances I do get are wasted through endless scrolling of “how to do so and so”. I’m not motivated to do ANYTHING— even the stuff that I’ve been dreaming of since childhood.
I don’t know what to do. I don’t know how to begin to change.
Sure, I’m in college and working on a driver's license. But the degree stresses me out immensely and once I drive it’ll only be to drop my siblings off here and there as I don’t own the car and can’t just do whatever.

Yeah, this advice is so simple but so hard to actually do. But it’s true.
I am starting, or very close, to that stage where I might just have to risk the scoldings and whatnot if it means being able to live my own life.
It is ridiculous but what’s more ridiculous is that I actually have been going along with letting them treat me as if I can’t comprehend a single thing.
