Thanks everyone. You've all kind of said the same things I've been thinking! My parents are in their mid 60s. They do know that I was seeing a therapist for a bit after my brother died, but they just assume that was for help in dealing with grief. It was, a bit, but mostly, his death was a wake-up call for me that I needed help myself or I'd probably follow him. I just never corrected their assumptions. It's taken me a long time and 3 therapists to get a proper diagnosis.

I just don't know what I want to do. If I decide to tell them, I want it to be on a weekend, where I don't have to deal with any other stresses (like work). However, I'm going to be gone the next 4 weekends after this, so I kind of feel like I need to decide now whether I'm going to tell them or not. I know I could always change my mind later if I decide not to, but for some reason, it just feels like a pressing decision right now. My T is not putting any pressure on me. She's shared her thoughts and is wiling to keep talking with me about it if I want, or drop it if I ask her. She's made it very clear that it's my decision. I just kind of wish it weren't my decision! I kind of wish someone would just tell me what to do. But, I'd resist someone telling me what to do, so that wouldn't really help either!!!!!
