Feeling like everyone is against me

TheNightmare

I have been at home today and my family keep constantly lecturing me, which really brings me down and makes me feel hopeless and alone. I don’t have anyone to confide in. I know I’m at home without a job or other occupation, but it’s not because I haven’t tried. I’ve tried to make progress, but things just haven’t gone as planned, leading to more setbacks. I’ve looked into college courses and contacted a careers advisor, but the courses I’m interested in don’t start until September, and the advisor hasn’t been helpful, making it even harder to find direction. The constant lecturing makes it difficult to stay positive, and even when I feel a bit happier, their reminders can bring me back down.


I often feel like everyone is against me, which adds to my misery. I just want to be understood for the efforts I’m making, even if they haven’t worked out yet. I don’t know what my family wants from me, either. I’ve been doing Functional Skills and just completed a placement that included an interview. If I don’t get the job, at least I’ll have further support, but I wish my family could see that I’m trying. The lack of support and understanding from them makes me feel more isolated and frustrated. I don’t talk to anyone in person about my struggles, which makes it harder, especially when people bring up topics I’m already having trouble with. I really don’t like it when people are upset or frustrated with me, so I try to avoid making mistakes. I know everyone makes mistakes, including me, but I’m always trying to learn from them and apologize when I need to. I also do my best to avoid conflicts altogether.
Does it sound like I'm doing the right things? I was happy and felt this week has been a bit more constructive and just seeing how I can get further support if I'm not successful gives a bit of reassurance but then I'm getting this.

@TheNightmare it sounds like you’re trying really hard and that’s most important thing!! that’s really great that this week was better❤️ i would say don’t listen to anyone who doesn’t see the progress you’re making because all you can do is try your best and you are!
