Today, I had to clean out my room because I was having a sleepover. Only, I've not been in here for months since I've spent every night in my mom's room because I'm too scared to sleep alone. FML

Today, I had a sleepover with two of my friends. We only had one bed, and it ended up with me against the wall. I then remembered that I'm very claustrophobic, and can't sleep. It's 4 a.m. FML
Today, I have been trying to stop sleeping during the day, so I decided to clean my room to keep myself awake. Four hours later, I woke up on the floor. FML
Today, despite the fact that I live with my parents and pay rent, my mom decided the best spot for my brother, his wife and one-year-old son was my bedroom. So I'm sleeping on the couch, because it would, "take too long to clean her room." FML
Today, I spent the day cleaning my apartment because my parents are visiting on Monday. I finally finished at midnight and went to bed exhausted. Then my mother called to say they couldn't make it after all. FML
Today, I was feeling too tired because I couldn't sleep last night, due to my mother's snoring. Since I stayed with both my parents and my sister in a small town for a vacation, I requested to sleep in separate rooms because my mother's snoring is disgustingly loud. She refused, and called me a crybaby. FML
Today, I cleaned my room, which I’d been putting off for ages. Halfway through, I sat down “just for a second” to check my phone. Two hours later, I was still scrolling, surrounded by half-sorted piles of stuff. When my roommate walked in and asked if I was reorganizing or giving up, I didn’t know. FML
Today, I realized the only reason my mom trusts me to stay home alone for long periods of time is because I don't have enough friends to throw a party. FML
Today, I had to share my room with my cousin while she stayed over. I let her take my bed while I slept on the floor. Not only do my back and neck hurt, but I had to clean vomit out of my hair. Apparently, she "wasn't feeling well" last night. FML
Today, I hired out a motel room so I could stay there by myself and lie to my mother and grandmother about having friends. This is the third time. FML
Today, I learned that one should not sleep with their roommate's friends, especially the ones that never go home. I spent the whole weekend in my room just to avoid the awkwardness. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I do not understand why you would have the urge to announce something like this to the world.

Actually, I understand what OP is going through. It's likely she suffers from high anxiety as I did a few years ago. It's actually very common. It doesn't matter how old she is. Anxiety can take hold on anyone at anytime. It is not fair for anyone to say that she deserves this. Anxiety is a disease just like depression. It's treatable but it's very difficult to get through. I wish OP all the luck in the world.

Hey, kid, don't listen to any of the jerks. I'm 26 and it was less than a year ago that I asked my mom to sleep in my room with me b/c of a serious anxiety attack. It doesn't matter how old you are--sometimes you need a little extra help.

people shut up. he could have something on his head that I and a lot of other people have. he may have an extremely hard time sleeping alone because his brain can't desipher real and imaginary things. sometimes I get scared just seeing he preview to a scary movie.

You're not alone, OP - I understand what you're going through. I went through a period when I was 17 where I couldn't sleep alone too, thanks to getting terribly anxious and upset any time I was on my own for too long. The important thing, OP, is that you _need to get help_. Please find a good psychologist or psychiatrist who can give you the therapy you need. Good luck - you can get through this. Oh, and please ignore the people who are writing comments calling you names or insulting you - they are idiots. Unfortunately, a lot of people on FML are disgustingly unsympathetic - don't let them make you feel ashamed or upset.

Before you misunderstand, I'm gonna just start off saying I completely agree with you. But I don't know if I would put it in the way that you did. This person doesn't necessarily need to "get help". That's a very negative term and it will just make the OP close up. Something I might suggest is going to see a councilor, just to talk about this if you feel like it is a big issue. I personally think everyone should see a councilor now and then anyways, there's nothing wrong with it at all. If anything, it's nice to have someone to just vent to once in a while that is impartial to what you're going through. Anyways, good luck OP.

Okay, I apologise then - I certainly didn't mean anything negative by it. I just wanted to make it really clear to the OP how important it is that she doesn't feel like she has to deal with it by herself. And I guess the fact that I recommended a psychologist/psychiatrist rather than a counsellor might have seemed, I don't know, a bit 'over the top', but that's down to a prejudice on my part, I guess - I've never had much luck with counsellors. So yes, my bad, and OP, I'm really sorry if I upset you or anything.
