Does anyone have issues with their family accepting they are disabled?
I have worked a lot in therapy on accepting that I am disabled and I cannot be cured and I know all I can do is manage my symptoms. But everyone in my life disagrees they think it's a matter of discipline and I'm struggling to explain to them how I actually feel.
I've gotten diagnosed as an adult but only because my parents refused to acknowledge I was struggling while I was literally crying for help. And now they use that fact to mean that my diagnosis is somehow invalid or not needed because I survived this long without it. I really don't think anyone actually cares and they want me to just "be normal" and not a burden or shame.
Unfortunately I'm not financially independent so even when they don't treat me well I can't do anything about it.
I can't go to therapy anymore and have lost access to my medication so I really have no clue on what to do and am feeling worse then ever.
If anyone has any advice on how to talk to them or what to do I'd really appreciate it.
