me practicing opening up to my family about mental health issues (they did not care )
finally told my mom I'd self harmed in the past and was struggling with a lot of mental health issues and suicidal ideation (in large part caused by my parent's crazy academic expectations / pressure, controlling habits, and emotional unavailability). she suggested i get therapy and we immediately went back to arguing. she also laughed at me at one point and said it was funny how much i overreacted to trivial things.
among other things she told me i was "oversensitive and overreacting," "needed to learn how to take advice instead of making everything negative," that i was digging up the past and making HER feel like a bad parent... 🫠 i thought things might have gotten better now that i've had a few years in college but again and again i get taught my lesson about never ever being vulnerable to my family lol
i should have just pretended everything was ok like usual and waited it out until i got back to college!!! 🙃
if anyone has nice things to say please let me know i could use em rn 🥹🙏
