I think I may need some serious mental help and maybe medical help too.

this is the 4th night I've either not slept, slept ittle or couldn't stay asleep and my adhd and manic depressive episodes is off the charts. My OCD is very irritated and active too.

It's also fucking cold in here, since it's a garage and not insulated and daddy keeps forgetting to bring in the radiator, so I am often awake at 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 am, fully dressed huddled in my jacket freezing cold, and my feet are permenant blocks of ice even with socks since I have no slippers, and the pair I want need to be ordered online, and they were supposed to be birthday presents well over a month away, but I just can't wait. He's been a very good sport, but I keep him awake many of these nights, and we really need separate bedrooms but we're a 1 room garage, there is no other room, sept out in the other room, on the floor on an air matress, but I'd still be cold and lonely and upset out there too, but I wouldn't have internet to come onto and pour myself into.


I've also got some medical shit going on, one of my nostrils is completely blocked most the time has been for about 6 months and my throat always feels clogged and I'm always thirsty and can't ever get enough to drink. I'm constantly stiff and in pain from head to toe and this has been going on for about 6 months now, and I am hoping it's just that I need a very good massage and rub down. I keep getting these severe itchy bumps all over my scalp and they ITCH LIKE MAD AND HURT! and nobody can tell me why, and god I know I sound like a hypochondriac right now but I am seriously not doing good mentally emotionally or physically.




I've also been very fragile last couple days nerve wise with Daddy, and nerve wise my nerves are right under the surface or easily exposed, but this is super exposed. I normally do not consider him and I getting into fisticuffs domestic violence and in the past have forgiven it since I do attack him back, but I am getting fed up.


He hit my hand today for attempting to honk the horn at a guy that almost head on collided with us, and I hit him back because it hurt really bad, he hit me harder than he meant to, and he hit the thinnest part of the back of my hand and right between a tendon too, and started crying and told him if he did it again I'd consider it domestic violence, since he has a history of flying off the handle and hitting me, but he never means to hurt me, It's supposed to be light disciplinary smacks like you'd give a child but, he's strong and he doesn't know the full force of his hand smack till I am howling and enraged. When I am enraged I am a pycho, I WILL hurt you, I am a danger to myself and to him. It's an automatic rip you to shreds before you can kill me response.

Course when he hits me like that it don't take much to enrage me and I have full out attacked him very violently before, and normally he's very passive and will let me full out assault him with little attempt to fight back but last time he fought back and it got extremely ugly.


He knows that hitting me like this will send me into a tail spin or a fighting rage but it's instinctive he doesn't even think about it till it's over, and I've laid down the law tonight that he needs to stop, and I am dead serious, but he'll forget and whap me again if I'm doing something stupid, like trying to honk the horn at an idiot who almost collided head on with us.

  • Chris!! you should never hit your Daddy!!

    it's sooo cold at my house too...i feel like a littlebsicle all day everyday.

    have you tried melatonin for sleeping? sometimes when you don't sleep it can MAKE you crazy!!

    u know, for most psycological things they'll prescribe something with a sleep aid in it cause people go nutz if they don't sleep. Sounds like you need some rest hun!
  • Chris, take a deep breathe. Is there a professional you can talk to at this peak of stress? I agree with lb, rest is needed to be healthy and stable, do whatever you can to get some sleep, I think it would help in all of these areas you mentioned are going badly right now.

    Also if someone is coming at you head on, it's okay to make sure your Daddy realizes it by saying "look out" or something, but it's usually not a good idea to reach over at the steering wheel unless you need to steer away because he has fallen asleep or something. Honking wasn't going to save your life and may have gotten in the way of his manuevering your car and the two of you out of danger. When something like that happens and adrenaline is involved, it's hard for someone to control themselves and the degree of strength they are using to swipe your hand away.

    Violence from your Daddy is never acceptable, but it doesn't seem like that is what this was to me. It is also never acceptable for you to attack him violently. I am sad to hear about other episodes where that happened. When I get very angry I slam stuff so I guess I am not 100% in control in that mindset either, but I do not cross the line of slamming or hitting another person.

    Sucks that your room is so cold. :( That would make me a bit crazy too. How about lots of warm blankets? Maybe a snugie, and when I don't have slippers, I wear socks and then wear sweats but don't let my feet go through the elastic at the bottom, my feet stay inside the bottom of the pants. I call it gumby feet. Also, a hat or hoodie worn on your head might help. And get the radiator/heater in your room please, if it will help you sleep it will be well worth the effort of dragging it in!
    • socks don't help but I'll get down booties soon.

      Daddy has a history of over reacting and hurting me at one point he got mad and said he'd kill us all by crashing his car happy now?

      So while I normally do not ever consider it abuse, I am beginning to. We're both gonna get the help we need, and I will never grab his steering wheel again if it's not an emergency. We talked it through calmly later after all the crying.


      I'm sad I hit him too, he's my daddy my joy my best friend, and I leave him bruised an sometimes a lil bloody from our fights, after he sets my rage off. And he's so sweet about me flying off the handle, and only once has he attacked back.


      I talked to my dr today and she forced the issue with the therapy department to get me some help. I don't know what's gonna happen since before they wuldn't give me therapy, but I'm legally considered disabled so maybe they'll have to give me meds and therapy.


      WE're getting a radiator from storage today and it'll be much warmer and cozier in here thank god.
      • that is good Chris. I am so sorry you are having a hard time. I hope the therapy department comes through and you are able to get the help you need and your Daddy too. Did you rest any better last night?
        • Chrissy yes, I did, I kept getting a tiny bit cold because the blankets were not on me properly, but it wasn't so cold I couldn';t go back to sleep and we got the radiator in here, and I got it going now, and I am wearing socks and some cheap slip on slippers I borrowed to keep my feet off the ground, since it's the ground that makes em cold even with slippers on.


          The dr was mad at me for reporting it and not wanting to press charges, she said if I didn't want to press charges I should of kept shut. And then she refused to even deal with my other issues like my nose and throat problem.

          But she did call the therapy deppartment and force them to make me an appointment to be seen today and enforced the fact that I am bipolar, and that I can't afford medication or treatment, and that I am now becoming unstable. So we'll see what pychiatry has to say today.
