Not Coping

[Birdofparadise8]

It was delayed by an hour, which was annoying because a crew member was running late @tyme 

Never mind, I got here in the end. 

That's good things have been going well. 

Ah, okay, will you get to see them soon? 

Yes, I guess I could. It's not like I'm going to look for people right now. I want them to appear, but it doesn't work like that. I hope with uni next year, I might meet more people. 

Did you see my post about my friend getting a job so that he won't be on campus, and it will be hard to see each other? 

I'm sure I'll meet people when the time is right.

What are you doing tomorrow are you on GS? 

[tyme]

Yes, I vaguely remember about a friend getting a job. What does that mean he won't be on campus? 

Tomorrow, I have a meeting in the evening, but I should be on forums for a bit. @Birdofparadise8 . That's me not checking the roster so I don't know who's on and what I'm doing. lol. 

[Birdofparadise8]

Yes he is working full time and it's not near me so I won't see him much at all. I think he will be working a 9-5, but then I'll be working shift work and have uni so it will be hard to catch up. We try are see each other once a week.

Oh okay sure @tyme 

I'm going out for dinner with my grandfather at 6 so I'll probably be on in the day as I'm at home home tomorrow I have study to do but that doesn't stop me from feeling sad.

 Hey @Birdofparadise8 

Have you settled in here in Tasmania? How are you?

[Birdofparadise8]

Hi @Blackbird11 

Thank you for thinking of me. Yes, I have. My flight was delayed a little yesterday due to a missing crew member, but we got here in the end. 

My parents don't like to respect my boundaries. I've told them about this many times. 

This might be a little TMI, but my mum was like aww, Laura, I like that dress. You can see my boobs (which, by the way, it's not a v-neck dress; I'm all covered up), and then she came and touched them after I've told her many times not to touch me like that. 

Then my dad and I go to the bathroom, but he doesn't shut the door. It's so gross. My mum again went to the bathroom with me being in there and tried to come in when I was in there. Seriously, this was all in the first few hours of me being here. They can be a bit infuriating sometimes. I just don't understand why they can't respect my boundaries. By the way, we have three toilets but two bathrooms. We have a toilet and sink upstairs, my bathroom, and my parent's bathroom; however, my bathroom has become my Mums since I live in Melbourne now. When I'm here, it's back to my bathroom or at least it should be if Mum would respect my boundaries. 

However, we had a nice dinner. I did my Lego, which I've posted on a different thread; I'm not sure you've seen it. The water system woke me this morning, but it's okay. I finished my Lego, had breakfast, replied to some emails, and I've been watching Jane the Virgin. I'm also looking through the Co-design space for SANE. 

I've got some uni work to do, and I'm catching up with my grandfather for dinner tonight. 

How have you been? 

Sorry if that is TMI. It's just so annoying how they keep doing this. I don't know how to get them to stop, and I say it so many times. 

[Blackbird11]

That's a really hard situation @Birdofparadise8 can you sit down with them and make an agreement?

Glad you got here safe and I would love to see your lego, do you know where I can find it?

Sounds as though you have good plans and are doing good things for you 😊 

[Birdofparadise8]

Yes, it's tough. I've tried so many times, but they don't listen @Blackbird11. 

@Bow, did a post called Lego Anyone? 

I have a telehealth session with my psych on Wednesday, so I'll talk to him about it then. 

I wish they would respect me. I feel they think I'm ten years old when I'm not; I'm 20. 

[Blackbird11]

It sounds frustrating and awkward @Birdofparadise8 good idea to talk about it andfind some strategies.

[Birdofparadise8]

Very much so @Blackbird11 

Can I ask how old you are? I'd ask a question, but it might not be relevant. You don't have to tell me if you choose not to. I totally understand. 

[Blackbird11]

I will be 41 on 27th Nov @Birdofparadise8
