How do i make my dad and stepmom understand that i can't just snap out of it? I'm going for an intensive psychiatric evaluation today because of some issues that are compounding by a certain event.. a trigger. Dad & Toni think i can just get myself together.. and i can't. They say they support me and that i should get the help i need. But i can't help thinking that they just don't understand. I've given them stuff to read, they know about it. They just don't understand that i can't snap out of it. Any insight?
