Only 21 days until I move out.

.....ear plugs and get double of what you eat at work to bring home? This way, you can gently bring up how it feels to eat things you didn't necessarily want to eat because of health concerns.

By the way, dieting without exercise and a good sleep schedule means very little, unless you're doing it to reduce your cholesterol, sugar intake, sodium levels, saturated fat, or any other overabundance of X in X food.

I get you. My "parents" pissed me off, so I moved in July 2015. Best move ever done.

Sounds like they are kind of unsocial and don't really care much for you oO
and how can they stay up the whole night, don't they have to go to work ?

If you have "Friends" you could see if you could stay at their house until then.

I'm just going to try switching to a sleeping pill with a different composition. Yes, the fact that they are up late doesn't help, nor does my pug jumping off the bed whenever he hears something then jumping back on later - or just incessantly whining if the door is closed.

I have to admit that the biggest thing is that I did night shift off and on for a couple years, which has completely eradicated my ability to feel sleepy. Now I will literally get an adrenaline rush when I start to get tired... If they at least tried to be quieter it would help - but really not as much as if I had my own place without a dog in it. My new roomate gets up at 3 in the morning, which I'm going to try to synchronize with as it gives me more time in the morning to prepare for my day (and time to start jogging or whatever).

Bleh, still 20 days. At least the weekend will go by fast.

@Futurdreamz
Have you tried sleeping in your car?
i know it sounds silly

Sadly that wouldn't help. And my family is the sort of nosy judgemental type where if I did try I would get several demeaning comments and questions and "jokes" . Honestly my parents really aren't bad parents, but I am I'll equipped to deal with them in an adult way. When I move out I really want to try to remake myself into someone I like to be, then after that maybe find someone - but only after I learn to deal with others without letting them walk over me.


Incidentally I just realized something about myself. For as long as I remember before I fall asleep I would mentally verbalize what I'm thinking and what I'm feeling so I'd have the exact words I would say to someone who would listen, even though I never get to say those words. Some people have imaginary friends; I have an imaginary therapist - and it's hilarious and he's not qualified for the job.

...well.
Today I just got a call from the apartment I was planning on renting. Long story short, the price they quoted me and I signed a deposit agreement to was a mistake. They gave me the option of either cancelling and getting my deposit back (and me trying to sort things out with the insurance and electricity companies I signed up to), or me agreeing to a higher price. I was annoyed, my roomate didn't want to pay more. I was going to just say no and get the deposit back, but I let my parents know and made the mistake of passing the phone to them while I called the guy to get him to explain exactly what happened. Now I'm no better have an understanding what happened (seems he is simultaneously explaining the problem while trying to upsell me) and my parents spent 25 minutes on the phone trying to figure out what happened while trying to find a way to force him to commit to he promise (which I really don't want - I don't want to move into a building having already pissed off the landlord). The fact that after 25 minutes they still don't understand what's going on is oddly reassuring though. Whenever I had asked for clarification he repeated the same sentences, and if i tried to summarize what he said he repeated the same sentences again. I asked for an email which hopefully will clarify things more.
