In need of help
Hi, basically I stopped talking to my mum months ago when I moved out to go to Uni because she’s the reason I have awful mental health cause of things she’s done in the past like mental abuse with her ex partner and other things and I decided that this wasn’t okay and decided to stop talking to her. Now I’m essential estranged but she doesn’t know the reason I stopped talking to her and is basically making my life hell with the things she’s been saying to my grandmother and the past few times I’ve seen her has been incredibly awkward.
My grandmother dismisses my grievances with my mum and seemed oblivious to my mental health and either says nothing or make excuses like “I seemed happy” even though any sane person would see I wasn’t. Anyways my mental health is in the dumps, I don’t have any close friends I can talk to about this and I don’t talk to my dad or his family, I tried the NHS talking therapies which is useless and I honestly have nowhere to go once my Uni tenancy is up in June. I am seriously considering transferring universities as well which makes things difficult and I really need some advice here so if anybody takes the time to read this and give some advice, that’d be much appreciated because I have no one to turn to.

There may well be mental health resources and services you can access directly through your university. Otherwise I've heard some folks find journaling a good way to get your thoughts out. Good luck with everything!

I’m really sorry you’re going through all of this—it sounds incredibly tough, and I can only imagine how overwhelming it must feel. You’re not alone in this, and I want you to know that your feelings are completely valid. Cutting off contact with your mum was a brave decision, and it makes sense that you’re struggling, especially with your grandmother not understanding your side of things.
I know it must feel isolating, but you don’t have to go through this alone. Have you considered reaching out to student support at your university? They might be able to help with counseling or even housing options for when your tenancy is up. I also think transferring universities is a big step, and it might help to talk it through with someone who can give you the right guidance.
If you ever need to talk or just vent, I’m here for you. You deserve support, and I hope you can find a way forward that brings you some peace. Please take care of yourself, and let me know if there’s anything I can do to help. 💙
