Thinking about it...I’ve acc been in quarantine almost my entire life

Elaborate, anon, what do you mean by in quarantine? Under medical grounds? Are you socially deprived? Were you homeschooled? How do you deal with the boredom and loneliness?

Thanks!

I’m an arab hope that says a lot lool. I don’t go out with my friends and only go uni and come back. My dad allows me but he asksss sooo much questions and makes you hate going out so after I while I stopped being late and just stayed home when I didn’t need to go uni. I picked up hoodies such as learning a new language, knitting, reading, painting, writing calligraphy etc

With loneliness either cry at night, talk to your friends alottt or pray if you’re religious

Are you Muslim?

Ooof, that says it all. Overprotective parents and culture. I'm Filipino, and my parents are improving, but I can understand in a sense in terms of asking soo many questions. And that's cool, I plan to pick up some old hobbies during this quarantine in the UK


Mmm, crying can be cathartic, but I hope you're taking care of yourself otherwise. And I hope this thread helps you feel less lonely!

Why do you think that you have been in quarantine?
Are your family obsessed with germs and disease?
Or just separatists/religious traditionalists in the habit of seeing the devil lurking behind every corner of modern life in Britain.

Maybe quarantine is not the right word loool but it’s because I’ve been stuck at home for ages (I feel like anyways). Nop theyre not. If anything, it’s me that’s very germ conscious. Exactlyyy. Why put me in this country if you’re not gonna make me live like I’m in it.

As sad as it may sound, I’ve been under my dads roof for almost my entire life with him knowing everything I do (other than what’s in my phone) and then I’m going to get handed and married off to some guy and I’ll be under his roof too. Probably stuck at home cooking and cleaning

You figured ittt outt

Ahhh sighhh like I can’t with the questions anymore. Wish they could trust me a bit. Lool they must love me that much to want me in the house everyday. As a teenager, I just can’t. Like I just want to have a life ffs.

Thank youu xx. Decided to get an ED for fun too lool. Figured it’s the only think that I could focus on and forget about life problems

ED?

I get that, how old are you? Maybe they'll give you more freedom in a year, or when you're in uni. Hey, at least this gives you the opportunity to make a bucket list on "things I missed out on as a teenager" or "things to fill the void that was my adolescence" lol

And hey, like, eating disorder? I'm sorry to hear that, I can understand the need to feel like you have control over something in your life to the point where you start self-destructing. I hope you find something less harmful to yourself, OP, you deserve better <3 I don't have one myself, but I've relied on ineffective coping mechanisms in the past until they were no longer "effective". Do your parents give you privacy? Something that helped me was journaling, although it's taken me ages to get better at it, and some of that comes down to my school telling my parents about my mental health because it got that bad. They didn't respond perfectly but I contribute their response to why I don't act out on myself physically as frequently anymore
