I hate how I spent all those years in school for nothing. I just graduated from high school June 2023 started college August 2023 And withing just 3 month of it I am exhausted and I have realized that Pre-K, Middle school, High school does not prepare you at all for college. Not at least in the US. Im so tired of trying my hardest. I just turned 18 in Nov and tbh im tired. @ the age of 12 I started a relationship w/ my new( at the year) stepdad and over 5 years later still on it and dk how to end it I dont understand how can I not if it was my decision 2 start it when I was 12. Im traumatized I know that idk how to reach for help im scared.

I am tired of inconsiderate people that think nothing they do will affect other people, or maybe they think that world thinks and feels the same as they do. No...
Damn. This went from not that bad to crazy really fast. As far as the college bit, try to stick it out a bit longer. The first year (and more specifically the first semester) can be really difficult, but once you get into the swing of things it is not that bad. Remember that you always have options too. You don't have to stay with your chosen major, and you don't even have to stay in college if you don't want to. There are many paths to success, not all of them include higher education.
As far as the situation with your step-dad, try to look into what kind of mental health services are available at your school. I know in my university (which is also in the US), we can get free counselling. Your school might have something similar. You might be able to get advice and talk through your trauma in that sort of setting.
I hope things get better soon. 💓
ReplyThe problem is I rather b in college even as a fail than at home getting used daily. I have seen therapists before but I ended going bc im still with my stepdad and dk how to end it
ReplyStay in college then. Try your best in your classes and you will get the hang of it. I promise the coursework gets easier the more you do it. It sounds like the more time you spend away from home the better. Do your best to have minimal contact with stepdad while you are away. I am sorry you are going through this and even more sorry that I don't have any good advice or answers for you. But I am rooting for you from afar if that helps at all...
ReplyIn trying but with everything going on at home my mind can't focus and I'm falling the classes. Is like if I try to avoid hom he will find ways like if I go to bed early he will tell my mom he's back in fire then my mom will believe him and send him to my bed bc is thicker and he would just fk me all night long. I'm so exhausted mentally n physically. I need to get as away as possible but don't seem to do enough. I have been directly asked by teacher b4 but my stupid ass was 2 scare to tell the truth looks like the only way is waiting for the death of 1 of us
