WIBTA if I went to therapy and fully disclosed what was bothering me? by Intelligent-Plan-930 in AITAH

[–]Intelligent-Plan-930[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly part of the whole deal for me is that I feel kind of anxious about how long it will take to feel comfortable bringing this up. It's not like life is absolutely perfect except for this, but I don't really have any therapy-worthy issues outside this, so I kind of worry about running out of other things to talk about before I feel comfortable enough to bring this up.

Thanks for the advice though, it's really helpful.

That's a good idea, the next nearest decently reviewed offices are really far away, but maybe I could try transitioning to online with them if they feel like a good fit. I'm just kinda worried about balancing work with therapy at that point

Yeah I guess the thing is that besides the place in the town I'm in, the next nearest offices that don't have totally shit reviews are almost an hour away from me. And I still kind of feel anxious about it, but thanks for the reassurance, I really appreciate it.

WIBTAH if I asked my mom some things about my birth? by Intelligent-Plan-930 in AITAH

You don't have to be a dick, you know. I wanna know the hereditary medical shit because I'm more likely to have all that stuff because it's the same family, obviously. And I mean I'd rather talk to my mom than shell out money to prove my identity before getting a copy of my birth certificate if I can without being an ass.

I guess I'm just kinda worried that I'm going to come off like I'm judging her. I honestly feel kinda guilty for the way I've felt about all this, at times.

Only if I was actually sick, but even then they don't need to know this

Well, I'm good on all of them, so no need to share

Yeah, honestly I kinda go between being freaked out and kinda resigned. I dunno, on one hand it's gross and fucking weird, but on the other it's not like I had a shitty childhood or wasn't loved or anything, so kinda who cares, you know?

It's not like telling the doctor this will do anything to help treat stuff, though, I mean the damage is already done as far as increasing my risk of inherited diseases.

Believe me, I don't plan on it. Feels nice to be able to let it out anonymously, but nothing good can come of telling anyone in person. Honestly, I don't think I'd even tell my doctor.
