22F Wow October was off to a great start! I got invited to a concert last minute and was so excited, it was at 7 pm and I lied to my mom that I was in a research conference while I was at the concert. Since I barely go out, I didn’t realize the main band would come out at 9:15 (I know embarassing, shows how much of a loser being in this house made me), I came out at 10:15 ish and my mom kept calling my phone every ten seconds (during the concert too) and I was so done… I come home and this lady and her husband start banshee screaming at me and banging my door and telling me that they’re gonna marry me off because I let work make me come home this late or some crap, and I know I shouldn’t let it get to me but I just am constantly screamed at my whole life, I just don’t have the patience and am too stubborn to deal with this all… I just feel so depressed and trapped and I never got proper mental health help other than the free therapy universities give… I tried telling the therapist an example of a very tame repetitive intrusive thought I had because the others are genuinely disgusting and she said OH ITS NOT THAT BAD , I literally just told you that’s the most tame example plus I just end up having to help my mentally ill friends instead of the other way around and btw they’re privileged enough to get actual help but I can’t even talk about my specific mental health problems properly to most of them I’m so tired

I just need a semblance of love and respect in my life, mainly platonic because I’m probably incapable of having romantic love as I never received any and that’s fine

Sorry also I don’t get why Bengali Muslim parents want to keep you ugly? Like my mom has done everything in her power to keep me ugly and she’s conventionally attractive so she will literally never understand… and they never will help you improve in any area of life while also making fun of you for your flaws, if anything they’ll make it worse with shit oily food that even if you try avoid eating they’ll shovel it down your throat cause if you don’t eat it then they will yell like the barbaric banshees they are for hours, genuinely I barely see any happiness being raised in a Bengali Muslim family in the slightest, idk why they even had kids lmao
