I need help, please...I can't do this anymore?

Hi there,

I don't know what to do anymore. I work, go to school full time, I have Fibromyalgia (a chronic pain and fatigue disease ) and Endometeriosis. My parents ignore the fact that I am sick, they don't support me and they never have. I have never been good enough for them, no matter what I do it is never enough. I work so hard to make them happy, on top of everything else I keep the house clean and that is a huge task...I clean up after 5 other people constantly. They are always yelling at me telling me what I could have done, or what I didn't do now, they are never just happy with what I do. I need help and support from them with being sick but they don't help me or support me they just ignore it and pretend like it doesn't exist when I am in large amounts of pain every day. Each day is a struggle for me, I push through the pain in all that I do and I never stop or never give in but it gets really hard. I just don't wanna deal with them anymore, they don't get it...they blame me for our relationship problems saying that I take advantage of them and that I don't care about them...please what should I do? It is really hard when my friends at work care more about me then they do. Will I ever be enough for them or should I just give up on them now? I am really having a hard time dealing with everything, work full time, school full time, the constant pain...please if anyone has any suggestions or words of encouragement I would really, really appreciate it.

Update:

I struggle with them but I am mostly struggling with the pain and the fact that it never goes away...I don't know how to cope...I take medication but it doesn't help much...I just get so tired of the pain never going away..makes everything harder...I just want to give up

    No matter what you do there's always going to be at least one person who doesn't agree with it. My advice would be stop trying to please everyone else and trying to make everyone else happy. There comes a point in life when you need to sit down and think about what's going to make YOU happy and how YOU can do it. I think you should do what's best for you and if no one likes it then they don't like it. If they don't like what you're doing now what's going to change? If it's that bad it can't get any worse.

    I'm really sorry to hear about this and I wish you lots of luck. Hope everything can work out for you!

    just keep working hard at school and your job

    but when you get home just take some time to relax

    and when they complain about you not cleaning up tell them that they have 2 make an effort at cleaning up after themselves as well

    then they will realize how much they took you for granted

    If I were you, I would leave. Then they'd either realize how much you meant to them or they wouldn't care and you wouldn't have lost anything. I'm sure one of your friends from work would let you crash with them until you could get on your feet. Your family does not appreciate you like they should and you shouldn't for one second stick around to let them hurt you more.

    Just ignore them like they do you save up your money and get your own place then you dont have to worry bout them treating you like that. thats wrong and one day they will regret it
