I'm a uni student who's basically stuck at home having to deal with everything more or less myself. House bills and what not, its been like this for the past year or so. I have to take care of the house, and having to take care of my old ass dog who's sick. I'm left with little to no money by the end or even middle of the month because money is short due to covid as I'm mostly reliant on allowance. I feel pretty guilty when my friend asked me to her birthday but I couldn't go because I'm literally broke.
Tldr; i hate being a broke uni student

I find it hard to open up to my family more than anyone. I've been mocked and embarrassed for the things I liked since I was a kid. Now that I'm an adult, they demand that I share my thoughts and feelings. However as past experience has it, I can't just give it out there. It doesn't help the fact that I'm the youngest in the family. Am I coping? Yeah probably. At least I'm glad I took up journalling, I feel less 'alone' with my thoughts.
