Update: Me not Cleaning led Feeling like a mean and bad person so lost kinda tense discussion with my mom
I have talked online on Reddit about being stressed out cause my sister passed away In a car accident This past month. I have been so tired and exhausted and I just want to keep thinking about her but my room is quite bad I’ve posted photos before and it’s about the same now. I’m feeling so stressed out and sad and anxious cause my mom and everyone is really on me about cleaning cause they want to help me and it’s been bad even before this but I just feel so overwhelmed.
I don’t want help I don’t want to explain it to anyone I just want to be alone for a bit but everyone wants to be around me and I don’t know how to explain this to others. It’s like I’m not allowed to be alone but I don’t think I can process stuff around others.
She asked if I told my pnp about my room (she prescribes my anxiety and adhd meds. I said yes I have and she insists she needs to go with me to my appointment to talk with them even if she just is in the waiting room, but I keep telling her no and that I need my alone time. She says I might not bring it up right or explain how bad it is and that it’s unsafe and a fire hazard. I am literally 24
I feel like I can’t breathe from the sadness and stress and she wants me to go back to work she said it feels like I’m just stuck and I am but I just want to be left alone a bit. I’m still like eating and showering, why can’t I be left alone? Now I get anxiety thinking of taking the trash out even tho it really needs done cause she will ask me questions or say something to me. I don’t even want her to hear me cleaning I don’t even understand why, but I feel so anxious and trapped
I feel like a bad person she said do you want to go get ice cream or go do something and I try to tell her I just want to be alone but she wants to know when I’m seeing my therapist next or my pnp or just all of it. She asked if I’m taking my medication she said they probably need to increase my meds and it’s not my fault. I said I want to move out so I don’t feel so much pressure and she said if I was a hoarder in an apartment they would kick me out and send me to a mental institution and that my room is a fire hazard.
I just can’t even breathe and I miss my sister so much
