You people don't make any sense
Having never been abused by my parents, I cannot honestly say I understand
your situation. However, the fact that you are here suggests you're aware
of a problem in yourself. That's good. This is my first day on this
list, and your messages caught my attention quickly.
I came to realize the depth and veracity of my depression last night. I
figure I've been this way at least since I was 10 (I'm 34 now). From your
messages, it seems you're an adolescent in a real bad situation. I feel
for you. I had a much less violent adolescence, but I had then, and
increasingly have now, a sense of dispair.
I felt - feel - trapped in a world without joy. Everybody is out to get
me. I alternately feel intense rage and total dejection. I can't
concentrate well, and I'm beginning to feel the onset of age, already. I
sometimes find in me a nearly uncontrollable urge to beat the shit out of
my "victimizer of the day". My problem, however, manifests more in a
sense of being inadequate in nearly everything, so I'm more sad and
dejected, rather than enraged and insensed.
You (and I) do need counselling. Do you really want to become your
parents? That's what happens more often than not. Go lookup the
statistics on violence and abuse. Are you prepared to do to your children
what is being done to you? Hmm? Counselling is proven to help. Again,
I've not had any myself, so I'm merely espousing book knowledge. I'm
beginning my search for a counsellor sometime this week, I hope. If I can
manage to defeat my apathy, that is.
Good luck.
