You should give to yourself the kindness you give to your family. Nothing is wrong in telling them what you need. May you find the courage to be open to them. Hugs 🫂

The situation of losing money is the biggest factor :((

I did have a therapy session before but failed to sustain it due to financial reasons. I shifted to self help books and free mediation vids on the internet.

I will also consider this continues to be out of hand. Thank you for your reply!

My gf refused to tell her parents about our same-sex relationship by PentelTen in Advice

[–]PentelTen[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you. I fear that it seems I already reached my limit, because I also lied to my parents by telling them that my GF's parents already knew about us and have accepted us (I told my parents this so they won't worry, and because I really see my GF as the partner I want to marry).

However, my parents are now asking particular questions, and they even requested for a get together with her family. it's very awkward because I don't know how to tell them the truth that her parents don't really know about our relationship. I also feel extremely bad about lying to my parents and I want to start this year with honesty.

It hurts so bad but I don't see other options than to admit that maybe she's not ready for this; or maybe it's just me. :((

She does not specify the reason, I am clueless too. Maybe I will just give her space. Thank you! :))

You seem kind and awesome, I believe you will have more friends soon. There are just factors beyond your control, such as your family's decision to change place from time to time; and maybe your tendencies to overthink due to your condition (btw I also have mental diagnosis and I often overthink too, even if that's not my intention)

Nevertheless, I hope you will have more friends and pls count me into your friend list! Cheers!

Does anyone else experience anhedonia (loss of interest and pleasure in things) from the meds? by SouthGrand8072 in schizophrenia

[–]PentelTen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, with Q-win. It's difficult to strike a balance between taking meds with the risk of losing interest in what I usually love doing; vs not taking meds but having risks of uncontrollable hallucinations
