So yeah, it's not a transgender issue. It wasn't even related to it. Nobody knows about it other than me.

But yeah, I live with OCD, social anxiety and hypochondria. It puts a lot of strain on my parents. I have nowhere else to go.

I swear a lot when I get anxious, and it annoys my parents, especially since I have a seven year old sister. Anyway, I swore, he rushed in and punched me in the face. And I just lost it. Punch after punch. I went ballistic. I hate him. I hate him more than anybody else I have ever known. All I want to do is leave and never see my "family" again.

Hi Hon,

Do you want to talk through it?

First are you OK physically, and is he?

Dreams2014

Hey Cindy,

Thanks for asking. I'm okay, face hurts a little. He got it worse though, I'm happy to say.

Testosterone has served me well this time. Or has it? I don't know how this will play out. Was contemplating homelessness.

Not a good option!

Has it calmed down?

Is there a chance to talk, or are you better off letting emotions cool down for awhile?

They've gone out now, so I won't know until tonight probably.

I have therapy tomorrow, so I can see what my therapist thinks. My worst fear is being sectioned on the grounds that I'm "a danger to others", which would be bogus, because he punched me.

Is it worth while putting a report in yourself? Just to protect yourself. It needn't be a formal complaint or anything.

Maybe a comment that Dad and I had a fight and we threw a few punches but we are both OK but I'm nervous he may blow it out of proportion?

Yeah, I'll just have to see how it goes. Feel quite shaken over it tbh. Thanks for the concern though :)

Hugs and try to get some rest.

I'm here whenever and if you need to talk, you can always pm me if you want to keep stuff private.

Yeah, the benefits of T. Next time, just punch him in the balls - it will hurt bad, hurt his pride AND end the cofrontation.
But yeah, I think I know how You feel now. He was bad enough and received his punishment, yet but defending Yourself, You had to enter that state of rage and became equal to him.

So easy to begin and yet impossible to end" (c) Lady in Black

And as an advice from lawyer (which is just a general observation and cannot be interpreted as legal advice - insert any other disclaimer here) -he/she who reports first is often on a better footing than the other party, submitting similar complaints.

Hugs :)

Aside from any hormones,i suffer from whats called psychotic rage or known as.Due to how sever my anxiety had been,with no help.It had morphed from fear aka panic attacks to rage attacks and now suffer with the above ^.This means that i can not and will not,live without anti-anxiety meds and most likely for the rest of my life,in order to keep it in check.This was from constantly bottleing up things inside,until they now take over me and release in an explosion of rage *from past pain and scars*.See it as a form of defence,which is exactly what rage attacks are but they can morph even further and become a danger to yourself and others around you.This isnt something you can control,at least i cant anyway.it happens when my anxiety kicks in.This is one reason *until i get those meds and i hope within the next few weeks* why i dont go outside or around others.I would keep an eye on this and try to find if there are triggers *mine has them as well and i try to avoid them* though i will praise you for your reaction.Not to say that the fight was a good one,but to say that-you are MUCH better off then i am.I cant say what my reaction would have been if it was me,because it would be very cruel and malice and even worse,that i cant explain the words for even,without maybe getting into trouble.I suffer from major social anxiety,agoraphobia and what was stated above.this is VERY hard when also having major trust issues in ALL forms.They tend to come out when around any form of fighting/yelling or put downs or anything negative.I used to hold my feelings in,over how such hurt me or bad things done to me.And now,this is where i am.I cant say i know what the other feels like that you deal with but i can say that,i know what anxiety *in any form* can do.The point is,Dont become like me-let it out but with a state of compassion.Defend yourself but do so with a clear mind.I wish you the best of luck

Never lose yourself for another..

Thanks for the replies people!

Quick update. My step dad got back earlier and talked to me. It was very civil, so that's promising.

In the meantime I've been looking at all my options. Really is time for me to take control over this OCD. I've let it control me for a long time, and apathy is death.

So blitzing it today. Looking at my housing options. Even contemplating applying for a job. Although given my condition it will be difficult. But I have to fight it.

Fighters fight. And I'm a fighter.

I often have trouble with swearing. I learned to use words such as "dear lord","gosh","well darn". The neat thing is when I say it front of others they think I am not swearing but because there is thought behind these words making them worse then actually swearing :P

Otherwise I hope you can find a safe and secure way out of a difficult situation.

Censorship is boring! Release the profanity!

I've already been told off several times on here for swearing lol. What a rebel.

I personally feel that when you put thought or feelings behind words that gives these words more power.

As I was growing up I learned to use a racist term not as an actual racist meaning but as something totally different in my mind. When I would use this term there was no connection in my mind to racism I never meant it in that way I never even thought of it in that way. Later on I had a friend that would likely have taken great offence to that term and there were a few times I caught myself about to use this term around him. After realizing that yes this term was racist and I was still trying to remove it from my vocabulary I started using a non racist word to replace the racist word so I would have something to fall back on if I was to slip up and use the term. Recently I was thinking about the alternative term that I was using and realized that because I put thought behind those words that I was actually being more racist then using the actual term. Thankfully I have for the most part purged both versions of the phrase from my vocabulary.

You should move out and fast. But violence is never the answer. Ever. Start looking for a job. At Wal-Mart. At the mall. Anywhere. That situation is unhealthy. But I would try to stop swearing because it is causing you issues. I understand stopping the way you talk is hard but writing curse words is not hard. The first step is trying.
