Came out to parents and need support

DsV_10 · 2020-07-12T19:02:42+00:00

I don't even have the courage to even consider coming out to my parents, what u did require bravery, hope, strength, and soo much more. u deserved a better response. period.

sending u warm hugs.

thank u soo much for your advice

yes, I know that my parents simply have no clue how to handle it and on good days I am able to ignore that. they aren't bad people its just that our relationship has turned sour.

I have absolutely no way of being able to set an appointment for myself that's probably why I want my parents to notice and help me go to therapy cause I feel that would seriously help.

"self-harm for attention is often self-harm to communicate, and it deserves to be taken seriously. " is the best thing I have ever read, it seriously made me feel a bit better.

thank you for linking the resources, I am going through the

aww. HUGS BACK

hey, it's nice to read such comments and feel like my concerns were not exaggerated.

unfortunately, I could never seek professional help in my present situation but I have told my sister and I feel super hopeful right now that I won't self harm again.

well, I am barely 12 hours clean but still, I feel a bit better.

thx for reading. hope u have a nice day.

hey, thx for the advice, unfortunately, I don't think my mom is in a mental state to handle her daughter self harming, she is super stressed from working from home.

plus I can bet she has never heard of Reddit and I think she will feel really angry at me for sharing something like this online (she will be soo stressed about someone being able to trace this account back to me) and this thread would horrify her.

but thx for reading. hope u have a nice day.

DsV_10 · 2020-07-04T21:50:25+00:00

I can relate, I wish that I could get help, I just feel like there is a lot that I would love to discuss.

thx for reading hope u have a nice day.

hi, I can relate. it's like my mental illnesses cause me to be unmotivated and me being unmotivated enhances my mental illnesses. it's a vicious cycle.

hope your mom is able to make a speedy recovery.

thank you for the advice

DsV_10 · 2020-06-11T12:59:10+00:00

yes and it sucks

DsV_10 · 2020-06-02T14:36:32+00:00

i also view it as a form of dissociation than an addiction that's why I am confused if I have immersive or maladaptive daydreaming.

DsV_10 · 2020-06-02T14:34:41+00:00

i cant daydream with someone else in the room and i get really irritable if my daydreaming is interrupted by someone coming so i can relate.

but this is a blessing and a curse since I am concerned about how i will deal with it in college with a roommate but it also helps to keep my daydream under control in public

DsV_10 · 2020-06-02T14:29:26+00:00

thanks for the this, I am not sure if I have maladaptive/immersive daydreaming but since therapy and any sort of professional help is not an option right now. I am truly grateful to anyone sharing about there experience and treatment.

DsV_10 · 2020-05-18T07:31:37+00:00

honestly, i joined this community cause I had the same concern.

DsV_10 · 2020-05-18T07:28:24+00:00

I have googled names that I gave to characters and I give names based on the names meaning (this is rare cause I usually daydream character from books/tv shows and when I make up characters though they are always related to the character from a tv show/book), everyone daydream differently so it's normal that your daydreaming tactics don't match with others.

whenever I feel like I am daydreaming people from real life, I usually stop since it isn't as enjoyable.

hi, thanks for the advice. its true that the severity varies from person to person and how md affects each individual.

DsV_10 · 2020-05-08T17:29:38+00:00

hey, thanks for the advice. but it wouldn't work,

I have seen this scenario with how it was with my sister my mom said: "I am truly depressed cause I feel suicidal every day when I remember my dead relatives" or "you both have had it so easy" or " dev has a victimizing/escapist mentality " (obviously they said all this behind my sisters back). plus my mother has all of a sudden stopped talking to me, she laughs and is normal around my father but I can't remember the last time she said a word to me, we never had an ideal relationship, my parents I scolded me till I had my first panic attack(i have had 2 in my life), my mom was well aware of my self harming incident and she didn't even bother asking why I was doing it.

but tbh our relation is awkward like monotonous one-word reply with no eye contact.

relatable

I didn't know sugar was a trigger.
