I spend my days avoiding my parents in my room, coming down to do chores and....thats about it. I know I acted irresponsibly, that's why I was going to offer to do it, and I can't help my memory problem. My doctor thought it was Graves Disease at first but then I started the medication and she now thinks it's my depression, but my parents refuse to do anything about it because they say I'm only depressed because I'm selfish and ungrateful, and if I just thought happier thoughts, I'd be happy, because "depression is just an opinion". Soooo...I don't know if all parents are like this, and I don't have the self esteem to move out, so I guess I'll just continue to be miserable. Also, I can't just go talk to them about my feelings "calmly". I tried that and they got really mad claiming that i hate them and I'm selfish and ugh. The poor dog gets washed every week despite the vet telling my mom to stop because it's causing skin problems, but my mom is OCD.
I hope you'll be able to seek therapy. No, your parents are not normal.
