First of all, because I know that I’ll get some answers like “Go play with your friends” or “Go to the park/mall/movies/whatever” But I can’t. here is just some extra info that might help weed out the answers I’m NOT looking for. I am 14. I live in a small complex with my two parents who baby me. I am not allowed out of the complex unless it is to go to school. In my complex is a 8 year old who idolizes me, a 3 year old who is spoiled and cries to much, and a 11 year old who doesn’t speak English. No, It is NOT fun to spend all summer with an 8 year old kid and her baby brother, OK? My Mom doesn’t let me have my friends from school over because she claims they ‘distract her’ inside the house, and outside she has to supervise them. and I can’t go to their house because she says she doesn’t know their parents well enough. (I’ve only been their friend for a year.)

Ok. On to the question. My Mom is addicted to WoW. yes. Addicted. her only friend of 10 years has been ignoring her and fighting with her for most of those years. —-I cannot bring them together again, DON’T SUGGEST IT. PLEASE.—- My Dad is a truck driver and goes out of town every summer for the whole summer and when he does, It leaves me alone with my Mom. at first it is great! she works, so I get the whole day to myself to do ANYTHING I want. After first week though, It gets terrible. And It has come to my attention this month, that I most likely have depression from it. My Mom has this guy on WoW who she Is lying to, (saying she is 23, has my name, and the picture she sent him is my sisters) and he calls her Babygurl. I glanced at the computer and the e-mail she was replying to said something like “I’m glad I have your heart. .you’re a great person…etc.” she talks on a voice chat system with him so I cannot even play piano, which I love to do, or even talk to her or else she yells at me. she doesn’t make me supper, and hasn’t been grocery shopping in two months. Thank god my sisters come over every few days and bring me a decent lunch when my Mom is at work. I am VERY tempted to break the discs/hack the account/whatever but I cannot do that. I’m not that kind of person, and even if I was, she would know it was me. I’m the ONLY one who knows her password (Its jumbled letters) she has lightly slapped me for NOT helping her with her game because I was reading, I’m afraid to do anything to her account. how can I get her to spend more time with me? please. I’m desperate.

Could someone also tell me if I might have depression?
These are my symptoms:
~I sleep either 4 hours a night, or 17 hours (approximately) It differs by the day and if my sisters come over.
~I very rarely have food to eat and when I do eat, I eat A LOT. I’m talking nine chicken fingers, and four hotdogs in two hours.
~I have pains in my upper arms and legs. Sometimes something as slight as pulling a blanket over my head is enough to cause pain/make it sore.
~I get mad a lot. I have typed and erased about seven swears in this question because I just get so pissed. And when my family call me lazy cause I won’t clean the house for my mom when she gets home from work, I am so mad I feel like I want to hit them. I’m NOT ******* lazy. I just don’t respect my mom. Why should I ******* clean her house when she won’t even lift a finger to keep me healthy???? And its PAINFUL for me. I get so fatigued so much from it sometimes I just collapse onto the couch and sleep.
~I don’t do the things I like to anymore. I cannot bring myself to right my story, or to even read anymore. And I feel my intelligence is being affected.

Just incase people think I am exaggerating my ‘horrible summer’ this is my schedule. One for near the beginning of the summer, and one near the end.

Please help me. I need advice. And yeah, I guess a bit of this was just venting too. I don’t get to vent that much.

sounds like you may have an imbalance in your serotonin which means you may need to go on an SSRI, best thing to do is make appointment and talk to a psychiatrist or a psychologist.

not getting enough sleep can def have negative impacts on many other areas of life both physical and mental.

Honey, I am going through the same thing. my mom has myspace and goes clubbing. never cleans or cooks. do something crazy. DELETE HER ACCOUNT. i know it is scary. do it. tell your dad. he can talk to her.bring a trusted adult to talk to her. STAND UP TO HER. tell her if she has enough energy to have WoW, she should be woman enough to take care of her kid! bring your friends over, tell her you will break the rules because you learn from her example.and if she
threatens to hit you, tell her you will bring child protective services. that should calm her. tell her if she doesn't grow up, that you will turn her in.

I think you have a lot of pressure.maybe it is Fibromyalgia. look it up on google. I have it because i got if from my depression. get yourself checked. i also feel like hitting my mom and i feel evil, too. but you have depression. you don't deserve this and neither do I. Honey stand
up. I stood up to my molester stepdad and alcoholic dad.

WOW. Im truely sorry to hear about this. Real talk.
Do something to the extreme that will get her attention.
The point to where you may have to go to counseling. and in counseling,
you discover your self.
they put you on medication. and if you take it, it truely helps.
Trust me i would know.
Maybe that would grab the attention of why your "acting" bad is because your missing something.and she is the only thing that can fix it.
Im almost positive if you do something to get to counseling and end up haveing to have group talkings [with your mom and counselor] she may just have the time to pay attention and listen to your heart.and what it been having to say for years. You think? if you really need someone to talk to, just message me. and i would greatly help.

You have a lot of different symptoms. 1) you should probably see a doctor, medical, you are not getting the proper nutrients which can cause a lot of physical problems. You aren't getting exercise either. you are emotionally stressed and yes it would probably help a lot if you could get some kind of counseling. your mother is negligent in providing proper food and well she is just stupid if you ask me. I could understand a mothers fear of something happening to their children when they leave the house but there is a point when they have to start allowing you to make choices and decisions. to allow you to pick your friends and at least have a chance of growing up. I don't know what her problem is but she definitely has some serious issues that she better figure out real soon. Have you or can you talk to your Dad? if you can you had better as soon as possible. if that doesn't work or you don't know how to talk to him then you need to call someone . maybe a crisis center. No child at any age should have to go through what you are going through. get some help. Councilors at school can be good too. You need help. get it!
