So I went to the psychiatrist after 6 months. She asked me why did I discontinue my medications. I told her the truth that my parents didn’t want me to visit a psychiatrist and I’m back here because I was at my lowest point. She then proceeded to explain my father that why someone suffers from depression and why they need medications. She sternly said that my father should make sure I follow up her after stipulated period of time. On the way home my father asked me whether I told her that he didn’t take an appointment deliberately, I replied yes. He has been giving me this cold shoulder since that moment. If I’m affected somehow for their mistakes then I have to take the burden for their mistakes. It’s always been like that. What was my fault? Was I wrong for telling her the truth? To this day I remember begging in front of my parents to take me to a psychiatrist because I was barely existing. Today I had asked him directly and he denied but he continues to be passive aggressive. I’m grateful for everything they did and I’m not complaining. I just want then to understand that I’m already going through a really difficult situation mentally (Major Depressive Disorder with anxiety and suicidal tendencies) and all I am getting is passive aggression and cold shoulder from my parents. I’m standing on the edge where living and being dead sounds synonymous to me. They were always emotionally unavailable since I was a child. Is a bit of emotional support in this situation is too much to ask for from my parents? If I confront I will be branded as ungrateful or they will dismiss it. How to I cope with the situation? Please do leave a reply I’m helpless.
Have you ever asked your parents why they are not being supportive about it …
If they think about the society and thats the reason talk to them make them understand how you feel tell them about your thoughts…
It’s so sad that you’re having such a hard time right now. Fortunately, even though what you’re going through may feel unique to you, it actually isn’t-
“What has been is what will be,
And what has been done will be done again;
There is nothing new under the sun.” -Ecclesiastes 1:9
This means that if others have learned to overcome similar or even worse conditions, why can’t you?
“They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.” -Psalms 126:5
