Was at a similar point with my son once. It was heartbreaking. I’m sure your parents want you to be successful and realize big changes don’t happen overnight. Maybe there are small things you can do to show them (and you) that you’re taking a different path. For him, we had him start with cleaning his room and making his bed everyday. There’s no finish line where your life is deemed “fixed”. Just focus on behaviors that move you in a better direction and one day you realize you’re in a much better place.

Get yourself a goal planner so you can accurately keep track of your duties! They have really great ones for cheap on Amazon. You’ve got this!

It's basically about the same cause and effect paradigm.

You can apply for state assistance also. Specifically Medicaid and food stamps. How else can we help you?

Look into the Bullet Journal method on YouTube. Simple and effective task and time management. Good luck to you!!

You're right. My boss's boss is very challenging to deal with, and it's changing me into an angry person.

You under 24 and in the states? Then you fall under your parent’s insurance. Or did they change that legislation?

You’re fat and insecure aren’t you ?

My daughter has severe anxiety and OCD. Her dad is quick to jump at “she’s hiding behind her mental health issues” whereas I understand bc I have anxiety and ocd however when I was coming up there was no such thing as social media and instant spread of information which DRASTICALLY worsens any anxiety based disorder. I would HIGHLY recommend deleting Instagram, tiktok,Snapchat and maybe even Twitter for at least 60 days. Write that in your notebook to show ur parents as part of the action plan as well and watch how much it helps 😘. Good luck

Are you spending time going out with friends drinking?

If so? Take a break from that.

No judgment my friend. But alcohol fucks up your energy, health, time, and motivation.

Although weed doesn't have the hangover, it can have some of the same effects on your body.

No judgment. These are practical considerations. If you're worried, consider making some short term concessions with yourself for the long term gains.

You got this. Do your best. Focus.

Close enough but NOPE!

The guy is intentionally trying to be argumentative. He's presenting losing scenarios so you'll attack him and he can sneak in good lessons in the process.

It's harder than it seems. Focus on keeping yourself accountable.

Am stealing this post, can i?

You may just discover resilience in you that you do not know you have. Don't overthink it. I have heard people say to follow your feet, where the body goes, the mind will follow.

Make a routine that starts with an early morning shower and forward momentum. It will be difficult, but it will not break you.

You got this boss!

Don't worry

You can give yourself a small award after crossing off a few things off your list like for example you can play a video game for say 30 mins or go for a stroll for a bit as a reward for completing 3-5 tasks. This is if you get overwhelmed by the things you may have to do. Can help out a ton at times.

All the best op!

What dosen’t break you, only makes you….stranger

Since your parents sound more like they are trying to be authoritarian than supportive, the first thing I want to ask is if you have someone in your life who can be an accountability buddy. Are you dating? Or do you have a supportive sibling/cousin/friend?

Sometimes when you have to do something difficult, like make a hard phone call, telling someone else you need to do it by 3PM and have them check in on you to make sure you did it helps motivate you to do it. They could also be the helpful/friendly person who actually sits with you, literally holds your hand, or comforts you as you do an unpleasant task.

Others have made some excellent points here, including making lists, and organizing for your own comfort and well-being. I want to add one other. You should not make these changes out of fear of your parents but for yourself. No matter what happens in April, YOU will be better if you've taken care of a few of these. Do it for YOU.

And frankly, living away from parents who treat you like this might be a blessing. Look at the silver lining; either way you are winning. I'm cheering for you.

Edit: Would love to know why this is getting downvoted.

Body shaming much

Just take a deep breath and do what you need to do. Fear is the mind killer

Best of luck. 48 days is a lot longer than it probably feels right now. As others have pointed out, getting organized with task lists will help. I would also suggest writing down longer term goals, if that's not overwhelming. Write longer term goals down somewhere you'll see them a lot, it'll help with focus and keep you on task. Then, take baby steps to get to those bigger goals. You got this! 💪🏻🙏

If that works for you

It's about this quote from Sigmund Freud:

"Unexpressed emotions will never die. They are buried alive and will come forth later in uglier ways.”
