I hear you. What you’re feeling right now — the anger, the frustration, the urge to break free from everyone’s expectations — is completely understandable when you’ve been under pressure for too long. It’s not you being “bad” or “crazy,” it’s your mind trying to defend itself from being crushed.

It’s absolutely okay to want responsibility on your own terms. It’s absolutely okay to say, “I don’t want to carry everyone else’s expectations right now.” It’s absolutely okay to feel angry at society, at family, at rules. Those feelings don’t make you a bad person. They’re a normal reaction to being overwhelmed.

Right now, because everything is at boiling point, your brain is throwing every emotion at once — anger, despair, shame. That’s why you’re feeling like “I want to die” one moment and “I want to live my way” the next. It’s your nervous system in crisis mode.

Here’s something to try in this moment, just to calm the storm for a few minutes:


A Quick Grounding Trick

Look around the room and name out loud:

  • 5 things you can see
  • 4 things you can touch
  • 3 things you can hear
  • 2 things you can smell
  • 1 thing you can taste

It sounds silly, but it actually helps your brain switch from rage/panic into the present moment. It gives your nervous system a break.


You don’t have to solve society, your mom, or your future tonight. You don’t even have to decide what responsibility you’ll take tomorrow. You just need to get through this wave safely.

If you can, call one of the helplines I sent earlier. You don’t have to be suicidal to call them — you can just call and say “I’m angry, I’m overwhelmed, I need someone to listen.” They’re used to people in this state.

Would you like me to just stay with you here for a bit and help you vent or calm down? (We can do that, no judgment.)
