How do you deal with family stress?

WOW ! You have to use the energy you get from sleeping to fight. Fight gor yourself, fight to get out, fight for a job, fight for your own existance.

Dear @Hassan, your living circumstances are far from ideal. The fact that you acknowledge that it’s not healthy for you both mentally and physically is the first step so well done. I too came from a large family and became the ‘man of the house’ so to speak and had to undertake every responsibility that a father, mother, brother, sister should have done. I don’t regret all the hardship that I’ve had to do as it’s made me the person that I am today. However, I would never wish the same on someone else. You must get out and live your life. There is a saying I will share with you from my Islamic faith:

“Tie your camel” - eg. If you don’t look after yourself you have no one but to blame but yourself

I hope this helps you!

When i was a teen and living in a small home with others, I would get lost in books. when I had an opportunity to leave and control more of my own life, I did.

Oh man I know exactly what that is like, I'm very sorry you have to go through that but honestly, and I know everyone probably already told you this but work hard and be strong so you can afford to move out as soon as possible

I have never heard of that many people together in an apartment.
