really annoying...
What do you do when people like to take advantage of what your going through and flat out and say, you have nothing going for you. What do you say to these kind of people. I have a older brother that likes to say this to me quite often and it is getting to the point of annoyance. :roll:

3, i to have family like that,when i was suffering from headaches and runny nose from the deviated septum they all said i was stupid,then i had surgery and i was ok until they did the second one to resect the turbs..my family to this day doesn't believe i have a prolbme and they say it's all in my head..so like i've said before you not alone but rember try to stay positive...

3, You know I know many details of what's going on between you and your family, as we have been corresponding for a couple of years about that. I will not expose intimate details in public, as you might not want that, although you did expose some of it yourself in previous public posts. Yes, Canada is right in general cases when he says "stay positive", but in your case it's not enough: Knowing a little more about the actual unhealthy dynamics in your house, I have to tell you in all earnest that if you don't leave you have no right to complain as you make yourself an accessory and an enabler for their bullying. 3, I'm suggesting this publicly on the open forum, in hope that others will tell you their opinion too. You have told us that you, a college aged young women, are locked in your room often by members of your family, are constantly beaten by at least one of your brothers, are suffering verbal profanity, abuse and violence from your brothers, and are not protected by your parents that blame you constantly for faking and criticize you day and night for everything, demanding you either go to college and get a job or get married... Assuming this is all true, what more are you waiting for??? I know it's hard, and you are scared of not being able to provide for yourself and you might be finding yourself in a hard lousy job, on top of your ENS suffering, just so you can scrounge some money for rent, bills and food, but at least you'll get yourself back, your self respect and pride, which is the first most important step in every young person's life, ENS or not, and is the first and necessary step in improving your ENS symptoms.

3, If the situation is as volatile as reported, then leaving home is in your best interests :!: As TE alluded to, it can be frightening to be out on your own, on top of having ENS...but it might be exactly what you need to do. And if you do leave home, make certain you have some social support -- either close friends, counseling, or a support group -- to help you through the adjustment time. I realize this "change" might seem like a bear to go through, and it might be very stressful at first, but the end result will be worth it. If you don't change anything, nothing changes, and your outlook and situation remains bleak. But I am confident your situation can get better and I really hope it will.

Thanks for the advice guys. I am slowly trying to dig myself out this mess.

do what you can to make yourself better..i find not being around my family is better for me they just think i'm trying to get out of working and stuff..so whatever makes you feel better and remember were all here for you and each other that's why this site was started...

3 is your septum damaged??

dont give up 3
i hope things will get better for you. It really sounds like you put up with quite alot, but you're brave dealing with it. Who knows, I'm not sure what you do for work, but if a good job came your way you would feel good about yourself, maybe even your family would be surprised. I forgot if you said you were in college, but if you are, maybe with what you major in would lead you to something nice, even an internship. Or, if you aren't in college, you might find some satisfaction iin taking an enrichment course at a local college or adult edu.center. Hey, sometimes actions speak louder than words.There's financial assistance usually available to people looking for enhancing their lives with courses. Keep trying, keep as healthy as you can. Even getting your own place, psosibly sharing expenses with a good friend you may have. Hang in there..You're just at a naaaassty speedbump in your life.

Yeah, my cars engine is messed up. :(
