Possible Factors in Health

am not sure how to explain about my situation with my family, so I am just going to type it in small words or bulletpoint them below, while also trying to place each one in a category, title or heading:

Desires as a child and teen - young adult
- make my family happy
- try to again family aprooval
for my family to believe in my ability to be sucessful and for my family to believing in my people and wisdom skills
to have my own privacy.

Desires as an adult
- To be allowed privacy in my family home in my bedroom
to not have to rescue any member of my family verbally, regularly, as well as being there and being a comfort arm or rock which holds something together.

- To have an individual life where only I know what I am doing.
- to do some nice things with my family, regularly.
- to involve my family in my life, regularly.
- to have privacy when I socialise or make friends and to not have my family interfere verbally and physically.
- for my family to chose to totally take control of their lives and be emotionally,mentally, as well as physically responsible for their lives.
- to not have to suffer emotional or mental outbursts from my family which cause me great stress, instill guilt in me or greatly interfere with my privacy or happiness.

letting their circumstances dictate their future and present, including happiness. Getting very angry with hurtful human behavior shown on the news.

telling you what you should be reading, eating, drinking or what career you should have.

wanting to regularly borrow your clothes and show others and ask them and me how they look in those clothes and if I say no to lending them my clothes, they claim that there is something seriously wrong with me as sharing clothes is normal and loving.

Any Ideas on how to deal with all this and what is your theory?

Thanks for listening.

I'm sorry this went without an answer for so long. Do you live with your family?

My theory is that your family is making you ill. It is a COMPLETELY natural, "normal" thing to want to be an adult. Which means being independent, having control of your life. Not feeling like you "have" to rescue people. Or to be the "strong one" all the time. Being forced in directions that aren't right for you. Causes harm both mentally and physically. Those desires you have as an adult around your own life. That's not a wishlist. You're describing basic human rights. The items which involve how your family behaves are outside your control. You can't change them. But you can change your involvement and interaction with them.

It seems to me like that would be both physically and psychologically healthier for you. Might you be able to see a counsellor or therapist? Because it can be very hard to put up healthy boundaries with people you love. Even though it's going to help them. As well as yourself. They can get so upset about it. That it's very hard to stick to in the long term. A therapist can give you support. And help you work out which things are most important. Once those change a little. Everything else starts to seem more possible too.
