Disappointed with my life
I met with an accident in 2019 & since then my parents kept me like a prisoner at home. No friends, no going out, no party, no birthday celebration, no festival celebration, nothing!
Lost all social life & daily chaos at home went into my subconscious that i can't maintain relationships with anyone.

Hi there!
At the age of 17 being away from social life is a challenging job but it is highly appreciable that you have got this awareness of your things.In my opinion the following are some initiatives that you could go ahead with
1. It is okay on the part of parents to feel the way they have felt when you met with an accident
So gradually try to be more cautious while doing things and have the trust of your parents, for sure they would allow you to mingle up with your social life.
2. Realising difficulty in maintaining relationships in itself shows a good insight and this could be beautifully worked upon with a Psychologist.
Hope you will work for your growth 📈

Hi, I am sorry you have to go through this. I am sure it is tough for you to be in house arrest. It looks like there is lack of trust from both sides and hence the parents are trying to keep you under control fearing for your physical safety since there is evidence of you being hurt before and they must have felt devastated seeing you in that condition. However, their care for you is doing harm to you as your independence and social life has been taken away from you and that can make you feel miserable. It looks to me that you have to work with a therapist and work on these emotions of being suffocated and controlled. Once you’ve worked on these emotions you’ll feel much more safer to talk about your feelings of being trapped because of their care towards you. It’s a step by step process of you working and releasing your emotions first and then talking to your parents. You’re brave. Stay ⚽️

I can work with you on your feelings of suffocation and lack of freedom. Love and healing ❤️

1.Use Deep Breathing
Deep breathing is another effective way to relieve stress and anxiety. It helps you with physical symptoms such as shallow breathing and rapid heart rate, and it also helps with controlling your thoughts. When you practice deep breathing, you're forced to take your thoughts off of whatever is causing you anxiety and to focus on the breathing technique that you are using.
2.Keep A Journal
Journaling can be an effective way to deal with your anxiety and to find relief. It helps you to take all of the things that are rolling around in your head and get them out of your head and down on paper. Sometimes seeing the things that we're worried about on paper can help us to see that they're not as big of a deal as we thought they were. It can also help us to find solutions that we have been overlooking.
3.Hang Out With Friends
If you're struggling with anxiety, sometimes the last thing that you want to do is go hang out with your friends. Even if it's an activity that you enjoy with people that you like, the thought of it can be stressful. Your brain already feels overwhelmed with things that you feel you need to figure out, and it can seem like a bad use of time to do something fun.
4. Exercise, Find What Works For You :
You might be tired of hearing about how great exercise is for your health. But, the reason you hear about it so much is that there's no way around it. Exercise it's good for both your physical body and for your mind.Getting regular exercise has been proven to help you sleep better at night, clear your head, and boost your mood. It's a great way to use up all that pent-up energy that you have in a way that's going to benefit you in multiple areas of your life.

Hello!
Your parents seem to be anxious about your safety.
you need to discuss your issue with a psychologist in details. Your childhood experiences and upbringing history will help throw more light on the matter.
Further, your parents may also need to be counselled for the resolution of their insecurity and fear about your safety or whatever that they are going through.
I suggest you get in touch with me through Practo.
