    how old is your sister and why is she acting the way she is i.e leaving dinner and then you get told off for that.can she not play her part in explaining things to her parents, even if she is as young as 15, 16 she still can do that.may say all above to her first instead of parents and get her on yourside to help the whole family!

    She is 19 but doesn't have it in her, my mum still changes her bed sheets, gets her up for uni etc so you get the idea. We got on fine when they went on holiday though.

    All I can do is work towards my goal, first get a job and continue to meet people.

    Is it worth speaking to your GP (presumably the same one as theirs) as it appears that your mum might be showing early signs of dementia.

    That is what I thought, the lady across the road is showing the same signs as her granddaughter is worried about her.

    My mum is on a lot of medication for various health problems so it MAY be that but it may be dementia.

    Can I discuss my mum with the doctor?

    I have told my mum she needs to see a doctor about it but she refused saying they can't do anything.

    I keep getting told to let them get on with it but can imagine they would end up in prison or a cardboard box, not sure I could watch that happen to anyone.

    They managed for at least 20 years as a couple before you were an adult. They will manage again and if they don't your younger sister can bail them out.

    I agree with the posters who have said we are only seeing one side of the story. You put across very differing personas in threads from confident dater, anxiety ridden interviewee etc but this shows to me that you do have it in you to put yourself out there and get on with things.

    As others have said, if you are suicidal then go to your GP or phone Samaritans. My hunch is that your feelings of being suicidal are situational (ie in response to your home life) rather than being as part of mental illness so your solution is to change the situation.

    My advice is to look wider than you are for a job or investigate volunteering overseas so you can leave home for 6 months and do some good elsewhere. This will let you see if your parents sink or swim and again my hunch here is that they will swim.

    You titled this thread 'I need support before I kill myself' so my advice on this is to do something. Coming on here to repeatedly vent about the situation will not change things - you need to make the change (and hoping things will get better does not count as proactive change making!)
    If you always do what you have always done, you will always get what you always got!
