Your parents sound so (pointlessly) evil and are so far removed from anything I've ever seen in real life, I actually can't believe you

Only thing I can say is get away from your parents as fast as you can. Transfer to a faraway college if you have to, and just say that they have better program there. Or even just drop college for now and start working just so you can move out. You won't get any peace of mind until you are away from there.

Also, don't make any big life decisions with your current state of mind which is being poisoned by your environment. Reevaluate it when you have a clearer state of mind.

While I do think that your parents were abusive (beating part at least, rest is debatable), I have to agree with Stratos' post as well. I started off reading your post and was thinking about how bad you had it then once it got to the college part, I was disappointed to see comments like this: "I have met some smart and useful persons in clubs". It seemed to me that you concentrate more on someone's usefulness to you rather than just social interaction. It's fine if you don't want to hang out with anyone (though you really should be more outgoing) but associating with people based on their usefulness, well, I dunno, doesn't strike me right. You should associate with people who are trustworthy, loyal and treat you well, not how useful they can be down the road (or now).

The same thing when you were looking down on those who were your partners for coding. I don't buy into the whole "it's first year so people won't do work" crap that I've seen mentioned all over the place on TL and other forums since it's a lame excuse but at the same time, I don't think you had the best approach: "Unsurprisingly, much of their code was disorganized, buggy, and incompatible with my part since they had not followed the outline that I had provided to them. For my entertainment, I told them about these bugs and told them to fix them and they have not replied since". You said outline, was this agreed on by the group or did you just put something together on your own and told them to use it? I'm assuming the latter which explains why they didn't follow it. When it comes to group work, gathering as a group and deciding on how things work is the best way to do it so that it can be fair and people can be held accountable.

"I have eaten nothing but fried beans and multivitamins for the past few weeks since those are the cheapest solutions to having a diet with any semblance of nutritional balance; they are disgusting and cause my bowel movement to be difficult and painful."

You need fiber and water in your diet. Go up to about 30g of fibers a day. I would recommend changing from beans to something else. As mentioned, having some rice with peas and yogurt will fill you up, give you calcium and some greens too. Pasta isn't a bad option idea for carbohydrates but don't just eat pasta each day, vary things up. You also need more fruits and vegetables. A banana a day in the morning will help with bowel movement. You have to look into changing your diet 100% even if it costs you a bit more money! Also, a salad, maybe something simple like some lettuce, tomatoes and cucumbers will help you greatly and worth it's price! There are also options out there for constipation, basically things like metamucil, senokot etc... but YOU NEED TO CHANGE YOUR DIET 100%!!!!!!!!!!!

"Over the past year, I have slept on average three hours per night, but only with the aid of 30mgs of melatonin every night. I constantly feel tired, dizzy, and unable to concentrate."

3 hours is likely why you feel tired, dizzy and can't concentrate. My advice is to go to the doctor's clinic at your college and get a blood test done to check your level. It's possible that most of them are really low, same with your iron. Once you fix your diet and work on sleep hygiene (your doctor should talk to you about it at least and if not pharmacist (Electronics or food at bedtime? etc...)) then you'll find that you can sleep more and feel better which helps against your next point:

"I have no interests nor any motivation to be alive."

Try to get rid of this negative thought and realize that only you have the key to your happiness. In your blog, you're constantly thinking about money, money and money (aside from the parent thing). While it's true that money is needed, your world shouldn't rotate around it. I'll echo what others said and say that you should look into getting a small group of friends with similar passion. Think about your future career some more and how you want to graduate and get a nice job then the money issue will be resolved with that. In other words, no need to burden yourself with it at this stage, just spend on necessities (food etc...) and have a bit of fun every once in a while. Getting a part time job might also be beneficial since it sounds like you have the time for it and having some cash on hand might motivate you to actually eat better.

Best of luck!

9. Addressing Some Cliché Responses

taken from my previous blogs and others


       “Depression… See a psychologist” - Modern psychology in its current state is ridiculous. The Rosenhan experiment demonstrates that diagnostic criteria are insufficient to diagnose psychological conditions. Psychologists are those who were too lazy to become medical doctors.

You're taking that study way out of context, as the results from that study don't apply in any form to your situation (as far as I know you don't have any sort of psychological disorder) nor would it apply to you if you were actually to see a psychologist of some sort (their job of which is not to diagnose you with some disorder...).

Not that I'm suggesting go see a psychologist or something, but using a 40 year-old study which, as far as my knowledge goes, has not been replicated nor repeated since is a terrible justification for you refuting that advice (also ignoring the controversy about that study as well). Going to see a psychologist does not mean checking yourself in to an insane asylum.
