My family (esp my brother) said they’re tired of my ■■■■ and my brother said I’m stubborn and I’m not willing to change.
The fact is, I don’t know how to change.
Everytime I try to go to therapy or attend sessions I’ve been just told meds will solve my problems and I’m just told by my doctors to get over with it.
I want to attend cbt groups and dbt groups, if there ever is one, but to do that I have to register myself into the disability registration system which may get me fired from jobs. If I don’t register, I have to pay thousands of dollars on it (especially hospitalization).
I’ve been told by my prof that I have a strong mindset. (What?) I feel like I’m going to puke every single Tuesday’s class. I have to do this until the end of June. I can’t allow a single mistake and I must punish myself for it constantly.
I hope you’ll do well Most families strive on independence for their children That is why your brother is so concerned You don’t need to change You just want to make sure with yourself that you are reliat only on you And have stuff independent from them Making you a total personality That’s a lot right friend
I am sorry to hear this is happening. Meds won’t solve all of your problems and it sounds like a chunk of the problem lies with how your family treats you. You also didn’t choose to have mental illness, so there’s no “■■■■” they should be tired of. I don’t fully know what situation you’re in but if you’re considering using disability resources then it is most likely warranted and there’s nothing wrong with you for doing that.
@hiero@DrZen i think my family is a little bit indifferent toward my mental health. It’s common in their generation though since they had it hard growing up in Asian economic crisis and stuff. For them surviving mattered more. My relationship with family led me to reach out to my clan after just ignoring my roots. I think my ancestors aren’t ashamed of me.
