Do you need to see a therapist or write your parents a letter that you do or don't send or sit down and talk with them about this? I hope you can resolve your feelings. Btw, I do understand to an extent...my sister doesn't believe in mental illness and gives me a hard time about it. Best wishes.  |
I feel 90% better. I unfortunately feel as though that I will be scarred forever. This hurt me since I was 14, and I held irrational beliefs that I was worthless, stupid, etc all these years---mainly from bullying that transpired against me when I was in High School. It made me feel terrible. I never went to my parents because they couldn't help me cope. I believed I was weak not being able to handle this on my own.
I wanted to try new activities and new things, but I believed I wouldn't be able to succeed at it because I wasn't 'athletic' or 'wasn't coordinated', as what my family used to say to me. I then believed that it wasn't worth it to pursue, and I should stick with being on the computer all day where I belonged.
