[QUOTE="Midnight, post: 604115, member: 16753"] Thank you for your reply! Unfortunately my mother doesn't speak English. This is why I hesitated writing on this forum. I know that hearing my part only is not enough. Whenever I talk to her my mother tells me that he is my little brother and I have to play with him, which is fine, but not all the time! And it's not that I have a problem with my chores...I only have a problem with her attitude. Like she tells me to do something and I tell her that I will do that in a minute and she becomes really angry and tells me to do it right now....I'm not a little kid anymore, she doesn't have to order me around. I'm 20 years old and currently looking for a job. I refused to take any medications and I didn't consult with a psychiatrist either. I'm very stubborn, I believe that I can solve my own problems...I just need some time to think. Sadly I can't live anywhere else, because I don't have the money but I plan on moving...I even considered working abroad, just to get away from here, which makes me even more depressed actually. I don't have a place that I can call "home", where I'm relaxed... I'm either hyper and want to do everything (these times I play with my brother until he "collapses" :) I tire him out with running around and stuff like that) or sad (mood swings, anger management problems....these times I just want to be alone and close my eyes and think about better days). But what should I tell my brother? What can he do alone? (We live in a small village and his friends from school are not close to us, so...) [/QUOTE]
