Silent Responses

Stop crying like you’re the only one who has problems.

I know you have problems but you shout yours at everyone, who do I have to turn to

We all have problems

Yes, I am aware and I realise you have more than I do but that doesn’t make mine any less valid

I am fed up of pussy-footing around you

Just because you have the type of personality that isn’t as affected by words doesn’t mean I do; I’m an emotional person and stuff hurts. I didn’t ask anyone to be any different around me

Grow up

I’m trying

Get a job

I. Am. Trying.

Leave the house if you want to; it’s your choice

I like being at home, but I constantly feel a burden that’s why I stay away

Stop pretending like you have it bad and that your life has to end every time you get sad

You don’t understand how hard it is to be in my head I try and say something but no one listens

I am at my wits end I have 5 of you to take care of just stop it

And so I have no one, no one who has the time or patience to listen so I stay quiet and then the pain bursts out every once in a while

Stop being so selfish, we all have mental problems

Yes a lot of people have problems but some are worse than others and some people have no one to turn to

Why do I have to tell you to tidy up after everyone you’re 20 years old

I am trying my best I don’t know what else you want me to do

Yes you help me, stop acting stupid, you can hear what I’m saying

You’re contradicting yourself at every turn I can’t keep up

You’re fine everywhere else it’s just here you sit in your bed all day until you’re called to do something

Maybe because nobody else screams at me like this for things I cannot control, maybe I only do things when I’m asked because I don’t want to be in the way and I like my space

If you’re so bored go for a walk

Do you not remember me talking about my crippling anxiety, paranoia and self consciousness

Why are you being like this already you’ve just got home

Is it any wonder I want to stay away so often
