I need to get out of here!

I smoke because I drink and I drink because I'm bored. I'm 19 and I still live with my parents. Nowadays I feel like if I'm home for more than 3 hours I want to shoot myself (not literally). My family makes big deals out of the simplest things and I just can't take it anymore. I hate noise. Is this normal? I feel so unhealthy.

    I know exactly how you feel living with my family I feel trapped! I used to drink and do drugs and cope with how I felt that way too, but that's a bad habit to start and it's best you don't do that. Why don't you find a job ad save money to get outta there and live on your own or with some friends where you won't positively smothered by your family. That's what I'm doing. Best of luck!

    Sometimes you just need to sit back and think. In the end, no one can help you with this. If you are bored or are cooped up and all, then you need to do something about it. Only you can make you happy.

    i know what you mean my family does too make big deals out of the most mundane things, things i can easily see a solution for. i suggest you get a hobby, sport, maybe boxing, muay thai, read some books and learn new things. it helps you see the world in a whole new perspective, i tell you.
