I asked off of work today when I was supposed to work because I had a really bad stomach ache, but then I started feeling better and I felt so bad that I plunged into a depressive episode (I guess the bunches of things bothering me just came out all at once), and it got so bad that I texted a crisis line because I wanted to cut myself but I stopped myself and decided to try that instead. It helped me and they directed me here, which was cool, and I felt a little better



but then my fucking little brother came home and I was on my computer just talking to somone on here and he goes "so.. you ask off for work because you're sick.. then you're just on your computer" AS IF HE HASN'T EVER DONE THAT AND I FELT LIKE ACTUAL SHIT WHEN I STARTED FEELING BETTER AND I LITERALLY WANT TO JUMP OUT A WINDOW NOW THANKS TO THAT STUPID ASS COMMENT 



It would be fricken great if my family could just shut the fuck up

why would you let some lil twerps comment upset you to that degree? You do have control over whether you listen to and let some teens silly comment upset you.....

Sometimes the greatest power is to just ignore, he didn't know what you were doing or why, so just carry on with what was helping you and let him go live his childish life.....that's part of the responsibility of growing up....knowing when to not let your actions be childish.

Gosh, sometimes people around us do have a way to rub us off the wrong way. Glad you found DS! I hope you will be encouraged in DS and be a blessing to members in this forum! Don’t let your brother’s comments affect your spirit! He might not have meant it in a malicious way. Take care. God bless!
