Hello. I’m brand new to this site, so hope I can get some help because I’ve tried other forums, and got no response. Anyways, I have been trying to contain my emotions for the past few years, but now it’s really getting to me. My brother has so, so so much more than me. I’m not talking about things, which he has more of. I’m talking about lifestyle here. He just has (gasp!) a real social life. Like going out to parties and having sleepovers. And all I have in regards to that is school and sleeping. Maybe one friend, who isn’t available all the time. And then there’s the driving, which you absolutely need where I live. I won’t be able to due to my vision impairment, even though literally everyone has a license by now, and he has 20/20. He also gets away with much more because of his sense of humor, and gets to do anything on the weekends as a freshman in high school, while I have to sit at home and work. Oh, and I actually just found out that my parents might be letting him fly alone, all the way to New York for 2 days to spend with his friends. He always mocks me and tries to be my third parent. It seems like my mom favors him over me and gets mad at me. I’ve tried talking to my dad but he says I’m playing the victim and doesn’t really understand. I’m just so lonely, and no one in my family can help me get out of this because they don’t understand. I’m thinking there may be no hope until I (might) move out in a few years. Please help. Thanks.

Hello Joshhoff: I see this is your first post here on PC. So... welcome to Psych Central. You mentioned being in school. So the school & study issues forum, here on PC, may be of interest to you. Here's a link:

https://psychcentralforums.com/school-and-study-issues/

You didn't mention, in your post, how old you are. However, from what you wrote, it sounds as though you are perhaps a teen? So assuming that is the case, here are links to 4 articles, from Psych Central's archives, that (hopefully) may be of help:

Techniques for Teens: How to Cope with Your Emotions

8 Tips for Teenage Depression

Teens: Coping with Being Unwanted, Unloved and Unhappy

30 Healthy Coping Skills for Teens

There's a lot of support that can be available here on PC. The more you post your own threads, as well as reply to other members' posts, the more a part of the community you will become. So please keep posting! I hope you find PC to be of benefit.
