When your relationship with your parents is that bad.

I just don’t understand my parents. They know I struggle with my mental health. Yes, I’m 25 living at home. Which sucks now. Only issue with not leaving any earlier in life … separation anxiety? It’s a real thing. My parents haven’t dealt with mental health issues themselves but they do have relatives that struggled. They just don’t understand when you just wanna be left alone

Thanks… I really hope so too. It’s confusing, Judy because I just found out, I’m in! Which is good. Just the thing that hasn’t hit me yet, hasn’t settled in.

Got into residential treatment and just, now hitting that I don’t know how I will do 3 months away from home. I’ve been away from home, 4 weeks at the longest, by myself. This is going to be difficult/different though

Of course it'll be different and at times difficult, but is something different and difficult always a bad thing? You'll have more than enough time away from them to contemplate what your future steps could be.

Hello there! I can completely relate to what you say! No matter what you have to choose yourself here!


Our parents will never understand us how much ever we try!


So you try to explain them what you are going through but if they don’t understand that’s ok!


Hang in there and get on your toes !
