My mother, for what seems like forever, has had a drinking problem and now her health is starting to deteriorate. She's constantly making visits to the hospital and they can't figure out what's wrong, I think she has a liver disease or something. Anyways, my dad is never home, and I feel like I never have any time to relax. I always get sooo much homework and ontop of that having to take care of my mom, just seems like too much. Plus, we do foster care for a dog rescue, my mom's brilliant idea, so Im also having to feed, walk, and clean dogs constantly.HEEEEEELP!!! I really need some tips on how to relax even though I have no time for myself. Making time seems to be impossible. AAAAARGH!!!

The best thing you can do is take care of you. Don't get so down that you wind up following in your parents' footsteps, like drinking, drugs or depression. Find some GOOD friends to hang with, hang at the local library, take walks and actually notice nature around you. Just being surrounded by nature is known to calm and soothe humans. Don't turn your back on your mom, she needs help, too; but you must take good, healthy care of yourself first. Is there someone in your mom's family you could ask to help you try to get her into AA or something? A great group of teenagers called Alanon (find them online) is available almost everywhere and they can TOTALLY support you with these problems and give you THE BEST advice. Best of luck and take care of yourself.

First, i think your mom should get some help. Next, i think you should reach out to friends and family to deal with stress. I go through stress all the time and it really does help to have someone with you.

For homework, I get sooo much that I'm staying up till about 1 in the morning and im still not finished! My dad said he would talk to the school but now its too late...   Now he says hes going to go truckdriving for 4 years=(     When hes done ill be 19 and i wont even know him that much. He wont be with me through my later teenage years. =(   =(        

But really your mom really needs help. She could go to a support group. And hopefully the disease can be cured.

I'm sorry..       LJH " Blos"

for any idiot that thinks the problem can be solved as simple as "get your mom some help..............."

i can relate to you man, my life is a living *censored*hole. first of all my mom is really sick and has lung cancer because she smokes. she is struggling every day to make it through and the doctor says she only has five months to live. Okay, after that, my dad is in jail right now because of him abusing my mom and me. My mom can't just support me and my sisters alone so she has to work double overtime at a job that pays minimum wage. At school, everybody knows me as the poor kid that has to beg for food at lunch because he can't afford it. i am so mad! oh and on top of ALL that, i have tons of homework in each of my classes because i signed up for advanced classes and this special program that gives you extra challenges. My life is so messed up and my grades are failing and i'm so depressed and filled with anxiety. nobody likes me and i have no hope.......................................

I feel like I wanna smack somebody
Turn around and b**** slap somebody
But I ain't goin' out bro (no, no, no)
I ain't givin' into it (no, no, no)
Anxieties bash my mind in
Terrorizing my soul like Bin Laden
But I ain't fallin' down bro (no, no, no)
I won't lose control bro (no, no, no)
Shackle and chained
My soul feels stained
I can't explain got an ich on my brain
Lately my whole aim is to maintain
And regain control of my mainframe
My bloods boiling its beatin' out propaine
My train of thoughts more like a runaway train
I'm in a fast car drivin' in a fast lane
In the rain and I'm might just hydroplaine

I don't fear none of my enemies
And I don't fear bullets from oozies
I've been dealing with something thats worse than these
That'll make you fall to your knees and thats the
The anxiety the sane and the insane rivalry
Paranoias brought me to my knees
Lord please please please
Take away my anxiety
The sane and the insane rivalry
Paranoias brought me to my knees
Lord please please please
Take away my anxiety

My head keeps running away my brother
The only thing making me stay my brother
But I won't give into it bro (no, no, no)
Gotta get myself back now
God, I can't let my mind be
Tell my enemy is my own
Gots to find my inner wealth
Gots to hold up my thoughts
I can't get caught (no, no, no)
I can't give into it now (no, no, no)
Emotions are trapped set on lock
Got my brain stuck goin through the motions
Only I know what's up
I'm filled up with pain
Tryin' to gain my sanity
Everywhere I turn its a dead end infront of me
With nowhere to go gotta shake this anxiety
Got me feelin' strange paranoia took over me
And its weighin' me down
And I can't run any longer, yo
Knees to the ground

I don't fear none of my enemies
And I don't fear bullets from oozies
I've been dealing with something thats worse than these
That'll make you fall to your knees and thats the
The anxiety the sane and the insane rivalry
Paranoias brought me to my knees
Lord please please please
Take away my anxiety
The sane and the insane rivalry
Paranoias brought me to my knees
Lord please please please
Take away my anxiety

well wut i suggest is to do is relax when your done with everything and if your a christian then maybe you should pray i cant say much more than that because i really dont know your situation.or maybe you can talk t your teacher and see if they lay off with the home work so its not a ton of work to do

But i sure do hope that things get better for you

just focus on your four main classes when doing your homework. electives can go to hell because you don't need a passing grade

The more you know, the further you'll go

      Your situation sounds very difficult, everyone in life goes through hard times. (sadly...:crying

The think to get by these "tough" spots is take one thing at a time. It sounds as if you do not have alot of time on your hands, but it is still most important to find that time for yourself. That doing so is even more important than finding time for others. What I like to do when I have alot of events happening all at the same time in my life is, I do one thing, take a break, do the next, take a break, and so on. These breaks can be from 1 minute to as far as your clock will read! It doesn't matter how long the breaks are as long as you know you are prepared to handle the upcoming task. It's like running 50 miles it's easier just to do it in sections than to run 50-miles in one day. Another thing that can help is to be organized. I only hope and wish your mom will be ok, and you too. I hope I made your day!
