I think I'm just done. My life is a dead end and I'm so incredibly tired.

Personal Story

I don't even know why I'm typing this. I just have literally no one else to talk to and I feel like I'm drowning. I am so tired. I live in a house that feels like an absolute prison. The abuse is constant, and there is never, ever a single moment of peace. My mother has schizophrenia, and the reality of that is just... chaos. Every single day. I'm always on edge, always drained, just trying to survive the next hour. It consumes everything.I look at the future and there is just nothing there. I have no career path. I have no realistic way out of this mess. I feel completely doomed, like my life was ruined before it even started.

But honestly, the hardest part right now is the isolation. I don't have good friends. I don't have a single safe person I can call just to cry without feeling like a burden. It's just me, trapped in this toxic house, watching my life slip away. I feel completely hollowed out.How do you even keep going when every single thing in your life feels broken? Please, if anyone has actually survived a family like this, I just need to know it's possible. Because right now, I really just want to give up entirely.
