I had my own room recently, and it was super great! I am 15 and it gave me a sense of security and peace to have a space of my own.
But then my dad moved my little sister in here, even though she had her own room before.
She invades my space, messes up my stuff, and when I ask her for some alone time, she uses the line “it’s my room too.” Some of my friends don’t even like coming over anymore because she is so annoying.
I feel like I have no space of my own to destress or cry when I need to anymore. Even when I had the room to myself, my dad would tell me to “stop hiding out” and to “be with the family” but I wasn’t hiding out, I was distressing because life’s is so freaking hard.
But at night and in the morning I had Me time, and I loved it. It kept me happy and sane all the time and I actually wanted to do stuff.
But now that I can’t do that anymore because I don’t have my space, I feel more depressed and I feel like I’m losing everything that’s mine. I feel super overwhelmed and i can only silently cry in the bathroom or try to gain confidence in the bathroom. When I had my room, I could cry normally and that helped me better than silently crying. Basically I can’t destress or relax anymore.
How can I solve this problem? Please help I feel like I’m getting more and more depressed every day

Hey friend, I know exactly what you mean. I’m 28 now but I had a very similar experience growing up. I still haven’t found a way to truly solve the problem but when I was your age I had a spot in the woods I would go and listen to my music and cry and let myself be me. It’s absolutely essential to find your space, life is unkind and things will happen and you’ll feel suffocated where you should feel safest. You have to find your own safe spot. My parents were the same way, not everybody has these issues and they don’t understand and they won’t understand. You have to look out for you and what you need. I hated the line “be with the family” because all it ever meant was “your feelings are not important to me”. Best wishes to you fellow human, always remember to put your needs first.
ReplyTell your dad to put her back into the room where she was before because she is such a nuisance.
ReplyHey.
So, this is probably the most common nuisance in my family.
Yup.
I have my own room and everything, what I would like to have is a little more privacy.
Privacy specifically meaning not having to discover people snooping through my stuff.
I feel scared to keep a diary any more, because it will probably get discovered.
I can't keep a diary on my phone because it gets checked!
I have plenty of thoughts and feelings that I would love to let out and tell my little diary, but I can't.
So, yeah, this is a common problem.
But I guess, it is pretty significant. You should have your privacy, you deserve it. All adults need their own space, they get their own space, and you will be an adult soon too.
Try talking to your father about how you are older now, and you need time away from everyone else to rejuvenate. He'll understand.
