I imagine home and family relationships are especially strained right now because if quarantine. It's important that you maintain other, more supportive relationships with peers and with adults. What other adults in your life do you trust?

@sophie02 Ok. Right now your support network is limited to your family, and they're not doing s great job. It may be worthwhile to find ways to expand your support network

You’ve got all of us behind you. I know it sucks that your family is like this, but you won’t live with them forever. This is just a small moment in your life and when you get through it you will be so happy you made it out alive. Are you still in highschool? If so have you ever been in contact with your school counselor? Sometimes they can help with talking to families. Otherwise I would stick to ERP strategies and also try positive self talk, even when you don’t beleive it.

@sophie02 I figured it’d be online, but they might still provide counselor services virtually. Worth considering.
