Yea it gets better but you have to leave the sinking ship. Your brother needs to find somewhere else to live, let the medical bills go to collections (do some research on that). Check out a local community college and if applicable get your GED. If people don’t follow the budget you take away their spending power or you buy less and they learn to cope.

No one ever follows the budget. Im the only one with a car. My mom has cancer and my grandma is 83. My brother doesn’t work because he’s an alcoholic. I’ve been paying bills and helping support the house hold since I turned 15. I turn 20 in august. Will it always be like this? Will I always feel so miserable. I used to do a lot of drugs and drinking. I used to self harm. Ive come so far as a person and I can’t help but lay there and wish I would have never gotten better. Because then maybe

Maybe I could have made it look like an accident. Overdoses happen in druggie teens all the time. I could’ve passed without everyone hating me. But now if I pass there will be “no reason” other than I couldn’t handle it. I have no purpose other than helping others. Can’t go to college bc I need to help here.

Does it ever get better? I fight everyday to just get out of bed in the morning. The fights starting to get really fucking hard man. Im ready to give up. What’s the purpose of trying? To work my ass of the barely make ends meet until im 75 and can get a measly 800$ from the government a month? This is no type of life to live. Im not sure I’d want to live even in a different life. My soul is ready to leave this earth :/

I graduated high school alrdy thankfully and I make $18 an hour at a job I started this week. My last job wasn’t as good of pay. I hope this will help things. My brother does need to find somewhere else but he helps around the house when he’s here at least. He leaves a lot. I’ll look into the collections thing for sure. My main problem I think is rhat im a people pleaser. It’s hard for me to say no even when I know I should

something to realize about being a people pleaser is, it’s not sustainable. you’ll burn yourself out like that, and that’ll help no one. try to be kinder to yourself, you deserve help too

Thank you really. people dont realize how such a little thing like listening and responding can actually help a person. Especially a stranger. You just made my day a bit better. I DO deserve help
