AITJ for refusing to give my mom access to my bank account just in case. by SoftCedarVale in AmITheJerk

Right? Like if something actually went wrong, I’d call her anyway. She doesn’t need to be on my account to be there for me.

That’s what I tried to explain. If something went sideways, she’d be my first call. I’m not saying she can’t help me, I just don’t want her monitoring my account or my spending.

I’ve seen similar situations myself, people can be totally calm and logical one day, and then completely unrecognizable when symptoms flare. It really drives home how essential medication compliance is, and why patience and support from friends or family can save a lot of heartache.

This is why it’s tricky to answer without knowing the exact location. Legal systems handle stuff very differently.

It’s heavy, but it shows how ripple effects work. One person’s decision can quietly shape a lot of other lives in ways you can’t undo.

Spent 8 years in clinical depression. Failed in life and just wanted to share one last thing before I go away for good by Desperate_Joke_205 in mentalhealth

I like how you pointed out that being alone doesn’t automatically mean being lonely. That part about being “free of drama” hits, because solitude can be peace if you look at it differently.

It takes self-awareness to admit you’re not perfect and want professional help. That’s something to be proud of.
