sooner or later, my parents are gonna notice a psychiatry charge on their health insurance and that's gonna be an awkward conversationnnnn

[@10788,PiecingMeBackTogether] i know, i'm just not super happy about sharing this with them. i feel like they're gonna be weird about itttttttt

[@1201426,JoeyHabib] eh i'm totally one o' those people lmao

[@4199,BlueVeins] Yeah, I'm in the depressed category myself. But I'm alright as of now.

[@4199,BlueVeins] as a parent, I would feel a bit upset that my child needs help but couldn't confide in me, but also impressed they are taking steps to get better.....does that make sense?

Although, at the end of the day it isn't about them it is about you and whether you prefer to have the discussion on your terms or on theirs.

[@406205,InOtterWords] Should I? Yes. Will I? No. I don't think I can make myself pick up that damn phone and say "hey i'm getting treated by psychiatrist no questions thank you." And honestly, if they feel upset about me not confiding in them, I understand that, but like I can't do anything about it if you get me.

[@4199,BlueVeins] I understand that. Xx

[@4199,BlueVeins] what’re we gonna do about mine tho

[@1177522,sircartier] i'll use my sexuality to persuade them to do LSD and they'll get all open-minded

[@4199,BlueVeins] quick thinker this one

[@8638,MarkPaul] my parental PR guy at it again 💝

[@4199,BlueVeins] Well, yeah... you know...

[@664411,pentacorn] yeah but i don't want them snooping around my mental problemssssssssssss it's gonna be grosssssss

[@4199,BlueVeins] just don't share anything with them. it's none of their business, no matter the support you receive from them. it'll be good practice, standing your ground.
