conflicts with my mother
my mom keeps insisting that i “do things for her”, when i feel almost catatonic most of the time lately. like she wants me to eat “for her”, find a therapist “for her”, etc, but im just so exhausted, and now there’s this added shame of letting down my mom. she means well and these are all things i should do but they are a lot more difficult for me than i think she can understand. we’ve had these discussions time and time again, and i’m just so. tired.
i’m also shy to suggest the idea of PHP or inpatient treatment because we just went on an expensive trip for my sister’s graduation. i don’t even think we have health insurance right now. i just know the treatment that might actually get through to me is going to cost us an arm and a leg, and i know it’s the depression talking but i just can’t see that being worth it.
Hello @sidyphus ✨
Thank you for sharing what you are going thru now, it much be quite challenging
I see that you know your mother means well, but I feel that your boundaries are important too - if you want to / feel like, doing it, do it for yourself
I hope you find a good therapy and that little by little you get well
Sending lots of good vibes ✨
