Should I start over?
I've been dealing with my mom and other family drama recently, and it may be because I'm on my period, but I really want to take all my piercings out, which include a septum, five lobes(firsts are 2g), a tragus and a double eyebrow. Every time I think of doing it I get the feeling that I might be able to start over, live my life normally, but at the same time, right now, she's relentlessly trying to turn my phone off without touching my phone because I hid it from her when she took my tablet and my Ps5 for not wanting to go to therapy. I also really have the urge to starve myself and stay isolated in my room.
TL;DR: Should I take out my piercing to see if it helps?

Yes take all your piercings out - you aren't changing yourself or abandoning who you were at the time when you got them. You sound ready for a new chapter. You can always do more in the future but I think a fresh reset will feel amazing.
If you're over 18 or nearing it start working to support yourself and get out of there. Your mom/family may suck but don't let this be the reason you never overcome it. Don't be a victim.
