Okay I will make this as short as possible. I am a very shy guy, in my first year in college. l am from an extremely small town and my family just moved here. My parents argue with me about things that are not even my fault. If my older brother buys an expensive car he can not afford, they start yelling at me, saying I am going to turn out like him. l never argue back, yet they still get mad at me.

About a month ago l posted a question here talking about how l was having severe chest pains. About 2 weeks ago l had a heart attack, and l never told the doctors why l had such high blood pressure. Eventually l tried talking to my parents yesterday about why l was so stressed, and they only got more mad at me. l had to spend 2 weeks in a hospital because of their idiotic mentality when it comes to resolving issues. Instead of solving it like calm people, they just argue. l can not say how frustrated l am right now, they're pretty much blaming me for having heart attack.

What should l do??? I am locked in my room right now, l do not wanna risk talking to them and becoming more stressed out, because already l can feel chest pains and l do not wanna make it worse. Also, l should mention that for the past 2 years I've been depressed and suicidal, but l have not told anyone.
l just wanted to add, this is not a joke or anything. l just read the question over and it does seem a bit strange. l assure you though, it is true, unfortunately. Anyways, thanks everyone in advance.
... Yes, I am quite sure it was a heart attack... Wow.

Your family need family counseling. Your parents skills suck (no offense). You need someone professional to sit there a mediate the conversation. By doing that your parents will not be able to over react and will be able to understand what you are saying better. It is not a strange question. l can relate to your situation a lot. If you want to talk or hear about it you can email me meemeerzzzz.com. maybe we can help each other.

Did the doctors tell you that you had a heart attack. Because if not then it could of just been a panic/anxiety attack. It is very common for people to mistake these for heart attacks. If the doctor did tell you it was a heart attack you need to get some help. Try and get a councilor or speak to some one that can maybe find you accommodation for now until you can find your own place or some thing?

Please call your doctor. Sorry you are going through this, maybe your doctor can talk to your parents for you? Good Luck.

l would say that if it is at all possible for u move out then do it. It seems that ur parents r ur main stress factor & r not making any attempt to change so u need to get rid of that environment. Also u need to seek councling, Y!A maybe an outlet for u to relieve some stress but telling a person that u can form a bond with all of ur built up feelings will be better for u (dont u think?) l understand ur shy but l really think that has to do with ur problem.You need more human contact with people who r not like ur parents. l really hope u seek councling or talk to a close friend about everything. Make sure u tell the doctors what has u stressed. You r far too younge to worry about these things.How do u like college (is it at all stressfull for you? or is it a better environment than ur home?)

l wish u the best

l understand what u r going through. l was in ur situation about three years ago before l met my girlfriend. l loved my family but l hated being with them.

The best decision l made was to speak with a Counselor. She helped me so much, she taught me ways of dealing with my stress at home & then l met my girlfriend who actually made things so much easier because l could speak to hear about everything.

Once u have someone to talk with it gets easier because u do not have it balled up in you. Keeping ur frustration in causes high blood pressure.

If it gets to the point of suicide then u definitely need to speak with someone. Believe me life gets much harder & u do not need that kind of stress at home.

l suggest. like l suggested to myself & have came to the decision..

TO JUST GET OUT OF THERE!!!!!

You wouldnt be friends with someone that would talk to u the way ur parents do. You wouldnt stand there & not say anything to ur friends if they were constantly fighting & it was non-sense as to why. You just wouldnt be happy & would hate being around ur parents if there wasnt that connection.
If u r deppressed & suicidal & it seems like ur parents r the cause of ur distress & heart attack. dont be silly & stay with them any longer if this is the reason or a partial reason to ur unhealthy self. Its not worth dying over.. (and l hate saying that.. but another heart attack.. is possible..and so is death!)

l have the same problem.. except im workin my way up to a heart attack & l have those chest pains too. Difference again here is that l am 19 & have been feeling that way about my rents (and lots of other stressing things from them too other than arguing) & that has been since l was 13 years old! l am still with them in thier house because l also am from a small town with parents orders & wishes being my only option. Just get out of there. -add me if u want to talk about this more. msn . or facebook. or on here lol

l am sorry u r going through so much stress (mental & physical) & u r not getting emotional support but u HAVE to start taking responsibility for ur own life. It can be very difficult to transition into into an adult, especially if u r not getting support at home. l was in that situation. It helped me to talk to a therapist at my college. You should do this, especially if u r having suicidal thoughts. You have to take responsibility for ur health. Luckily u r young & ur health can bounce back! You need to start eating nutritiously & getting enough exercise. Does u school have a gym & offer nutritional counseling? Take advantage of it, if it does. First off, talk to a councilor. You can get though this! Work hard in school & push through u obstacles. There is a light at the end of the tunnel. l promise!
