i need to get out of my house..

0

My family, though they can be great at times, has driven me into severe depression and I really just need to get out. My sister who’s 14 is in the autistic spectrum with OCD, ADD, ADHD, and really bad anger problems and a day never goes by without screaming and shouting because of it. Also my parents and I don’t quite see eye to eye on a lot so there’s a bit of tension between us.
I’ve been trying to get a job for a while now but with no luck so until then I’ve opened an etsy shop to try and get some money that way.
I’m just really stuck and need some advice on getting out of here soon because I’m sick of living like this.

And there's nothing wrong with that. But being out of your house will offer you a better state of mind which will allow you to be more productive. It isnt a permanent situation, and Im sure they'll understand that. Just be sure to be polite and clean up after yourself and Im sure you'll be fine.

I dont know how old you are but maybe consider schools further away which will give you more time away from the house, universities, colleges, even boarding schools. Maybe join more social groups and take time out for yourself. Personally, I went exploring and found a quiet place in my local woods and I take a time out there whenever I felt to overwhelmed at home so maybe you could try that?

When I was in that position I was able to stay with a friend. They helped me get a job and get to that job. Do you have any friends or family members you can stay with for a while? Particularly someone who might understand what you're going through?

I do know one person who might let me stay with them for a bit. I just don't wanna cramp up their life ya know?

I recommend keeping calm, the bet thing you can do is try to relax, it'll help you feel better at the very least. If i were in this situation, i'd go into local businesses and ask for an application. Go dressed nicely. Be confident when you go in too, businesses appreciate a confident applicant, so long as they aren't overly confident. If you've got any issues talking to people practice eye contact with friends or with cars if you're walking against traffic anywhere. That's what i had to do. Smile. A lot. At any interview you go to, or any store at which you ask for an application. As for the family, start with getting a job. When you get a job try finding a room mate or two and get an apartment. Find friends or people with jobs who you can trust if you take this option. Or try websites where people have rooms for rent. Just be careful who you talk to, bring a friend with you if you go to check out the room. Good Luck!

I do my best to stay calm by listening to music, it really helps. As far as a job goes, I've filled out at least 15 and never heard anything back so its frustrating /: I like your idea about getting a room mate, I'm definitely going to ask around. Thanks(:

My parents and I actually go to family therapy so we do communicate, I'm just completely different from them in most ways, from the way I dress to what I listen to and my religious views. Also I stay in my room most of the time to avoid causing a problem. And thanks
