i feel like i've been stagnating for the last year. i'm a teen - still living with my parents, who are extremely emotionally draining & unavailable, and one of them is verbally abusive. i have been pretty much unable to do anything i love without strain in months, i can't produce any art or writing nor can i sit down and read or consume a lot of media other than television, nothing interests me and i don't have the drive to complete anything new or old. i'm so unmotivated and i feel worthless, i haven't learned anything new in ages and i'm not working towards developing any skills or a future or anything like that. i'm so tired and drained all the time, i just want to enjoy life again and stop feeling like i'm wasting my childhood rotting in my room.

      It's horrible when motivation is just not there and it's so hard to get others to understand how it feels. Hope things get better for you.

      I feel almost exactly how you do. My teen years were wasted in an abusive household, constantly locked down, and now that I'm gaining independence, I still feel like I've wasted my prime and there's nothing left for me. I wish I had more advice, all I can tell you for now is that you're not alone at all. Others are feeling the same pain you are. Someday we'll build our lives up again and in even better ways than we could imagine. Just gotta keep holding on
