Sounds viable to me.

I can relate. My dad doesn't do feelings well either so I make myself sound as "fine" as possible when I talk to him. Now the last time we talked he wants to know what is keeping me out of work for so long. I certainly can't tell my mom. She just stops listening and starts telling me how bad in her own life is. Or her favortie one, that pills are a "crutch." Some of the things your parents said just sort of blow my mind. Like they want you to decide what medications to take vs. your doctor? Or that your dad seems to think depression is a little fun diversion from studying?? Sorry. I guess I am getting riled up too.
I wish I knew the right thing to say.
What I want to say is trust yourself. Only you and your doctors know what is best. You made your weekly call and that is maybe the best you can do. They are lucky to get the call.
Thinking of you. E
