Hi dolphinlover, OK they say that you have to accept things the way they are and that you can't change them but what do you think??
Are there any, even small, changes you can make with the people around you. Or even anything they can do to compensate for the way things are, anything they can do to help you with your feelings?
Anyway, can you think of some compromises you can make with people on some of the things you're not happy with? Just anything to make your situation a little easier?
Perhaps if you explained to people/someone in your life, at a time you're feeling calm, how some things make you feel, explain how you'd like things to change (even do a trade- you do something for them, they do something for you!) and see if you can work on finding some "middle ground" with them.
Maybe do a bit of "brain storming" on how some things might be able to change.
Of course there will be some things that can't change whatever the circumstances, but you might be able to change the way you react to them e.g. recognise why logically they have to be that way, remind yourself that they don't have to be like that forever (if they don't), focus instead on something good in your life that makes the bad things seem not so bad, try to look at the things you're not happy about from a different perspective, tell yourself that you're above all this/it's not worth your energy if it's not something that can possibly change anyway.
And pegasus had a great idea about channeling the feelings you've had into something else, exercise, walking or sport of some kind can be really helpful. And you might want to look into some relaxation techniques as well, do you think? Lots out there, maybe something could help?
As for friends, do you think you could "rebuild some bridges" with the friends you've had? Or even getting out more, ideally to do different activities/meet more people, would get you away from some of the stresses at home a bit more?
But just remember you don't need to feel lonely, whatever, because we're right here for you if you need to talk.
