I told my parents what I am feeling. It's bad. I thought it was going to help me, it made me feel worse. I just want sympathy even just a little bit. They made me feel that it's my fault. They ask me to change myself like its easy. To be happy to make an effort. They call me immature. They don't know how hard I try everyday, how hard I try every minute to feel okay. To know what I want to do in my life.
It's heartbreaking to experience this. They made me feel like I'm not trying hard enough. They don't know how much effort I put my self to be better. How i tried to take my own life multiple times. They don't know how much I'm suffering. They don't know how confuse I am to feel sad everytime. Feeling empty.
And after telling them my story they won't stop telling me to do this and that. I know I am responsible for myself but why can't they show a little bit of sympathy for what I am going through.
Instead of feeling grateful for them it became suffocating. And I realized how hopeless my situation is.

Im so confused.
You want sympathy.
They gave you some advice.
You complained “thats not sympathy. Its suffocating me!”
Then do something about it. Tell em how you want to be helped.
What are they suppose to do? Read your mind to see what you need?
Communicate. People cant read your mind.
ReplyI'm sorry this stuff happened to you. Unfortunately not all parents are sensitive enough to understand their child's needs. Some just assume things and say stuff like that. I'm proud of you for being strong like you have. I know it's not easy. please keep going. Maybe you need to find someone in your life who can be more supportive whether it's a family member or a counselor. It's not hopeless. I'm routing for you hon xx <3

Replyits kinda weird how other stranger understand you better than your parents :/
Replyit’s the same with me, i tried telling my parents about what’s going on and my mum just said it’s a mindset and that we all have little devils in our head telling us we can’t do things. it really annoyed me at the time but now i just accept they don’t want to help.
also some parents were just brought up to believe that mental health didn’t exist that it was a disease or something. just keep pushing it’ll get better just wait.
