I decided right then and there that I would no longer burden my parents with my everyday ups and downs and thinking. They are still very supportive and help me but I have used other outlets such as this forum and in real life friends, my pdoc, etc. I have been at it for twenty years and lived 2500 miles from my family that whole time so I know how to get outside support but it was just to easy to stay home and rely on them.

Yeah... my therapy goes so far.. I just joined here ima see how this goes as far as an outlet... friends wise in person are quite limited... they havent known really what to do with me since I had my break down back in February. Most kinda vanished and the ones who are negative about it I just dropped because I dont need that around me. So im quite limited on resources as far as outlets go.. she wants to know how im doing and she reads me like a book whether I tell her or not.. so idk. I dont wana lie but I dont wana start telling her and end up in a pool of tears on her bed either. Idk im sure ill figure something out. Always have. Im only 25 and newly diagnosed.. ima get this thing beat as best I can
