i need somewhere to escape to.

i live at home with my family who are constantly nagging at me for really stupid things that can sometimes be humiliating. i need somewhere to go to breathe a while, but theres no where to go, i have very little privacy with my family barging in my room when ever they feel. what do you suggest?

have you asked them to knock? maybe go to the library or a park to get away, or go to a friends house.

Are you old enough to travel on your own?
Do you have a job?
You could always go on a vacation for a short while, maybe on your own or with a friend or two… just to relax. Still, you’ve got to learn to take that stuff, you’ve got to stop it from getting to you, even though it’s relentless.
You could always try having a talk with them if that’s a possibility, just telling them that you’re an individual regardless of what they think and that you need some space.

I think you need something and somewhere of your own.
This might sound really silly but when I get stressed and need some time to myself I go for a walk. Put music on and just go anywhere my feet take me. Sometimes I feel like getting on a bus or a train somewhere and exploring. Even if it’s just a local place you haven’t really discovered you might enjoy it. You get all the time you want to think and come back feeling fresh and independant.
If this doesn’t sound like something you want to do perhaps join a group: yoga, poetry readings/discussions, amateur dramatics groups, a choir, or visit a local pub for a different environment, anything!
Or just put a lock on your door! :D

I used to spend a lot of time outside when my family got to be too much for me. It’s peaceful, quiet and gives so much time to think. The fresh and sun always made me feel better.

Is there some sort of park or something you can walk to? Sitting on a swing is very stress-relieving
