Having a rough time

My username is Liz1965 and I am 50 years old. I am having a rough time dealing with my parents and the verbal abuse that I get from my mom,it got so bad this time,that I ended up cutting my toe nail way to short,I put neosporin on it and a bandage. I am so sick of my mom treating me like a child and that I can not make decision on my own, I was feeling so frustrated and tired of it that I had to get rid of the emotion pain that I was feeling and feeling numb so much. My therapist is aware of my issues with SI, I needed to vent and get this off my chest. I just hope that my toe will be alright. sorry if I upset with anyone with what I wrote. I just need to increase my coping skills or find some new ones, if anyone has any suggestions, please let me know. again thanks.

you're 50?

Hi Liz1965. Sorry you are having a rough time with your parents. Doing things when I am angry or hurt I usually regret. I would rather sit in the bathroom till I calm down or listen to music or take a shower.

Here is one article on coping with anger. Dealing with Anger Constructively | Psych Central

Thanks so much. I will check it out. have a good night. take care. hugs

Stop talking to them.

Sometimes it is hard when it is your parents

yeah it is.

sorry you're going through this

glad you found this forum and can talk to us about it

There's always the hard question of forgiving someone later, but just sitting there and taking it while it's happening???

thanks so much for your input and support. just doing the best I can and taking care of my toe. hugs
