Ever since this Corona disaster started and having to self isolate and not attend school I have noticed that my mental health has dropped dramatically. I live with my aunty and we have never really had a good relationship. It's an on and off relationship, why you may ask? Because she is mentally ill and bipolar and I keep telling her she needs help which causes her to be abusive - physically and emotionally. She literally has no filter, I have struggled with acne and weight issues for a few yers now as I have stopped playing sport and she's always used that against me to bring me down. I have noticed I've become suicidal and even depressed because she always bring my self worth and self confidence down. She complains about how I spend too much time in my room yet that's the only place I feel safe and find comfort in. When I'm around her I always feel judged and attacked and I think that is one of the reasons why I am extremely insecure and sensitive. It's not healthy and I do see her as a toxic person. I have tried to speak about this to other family members however because she is bipolar and they don't see her regularly that don't believe me or they just think I'm exaggerating. It's at the point where I prefer to one up to my friends over my family because I just think my family is at the point where everything is damaged and we are barely holding up together. I turn 18 next year and words can't express how excited I am to be moving out. How else is everyone going during Quarantine?

I am sorry you are in such a toxic situation. The country where I am doesn't have much quarantine really. We can go out shopping, to doctors, dentists, and take our dogs for walks. Apart from the casino being closed my life hasn't changed at all. If the police stops anyone who is out and about they have to be out for one of the above reasons or they can be fined one thousand dollars. So money is being made off this virus. However, at least the populations are being reduced.
