Do what feels best for you. Everyone handles these situations differently.

I agree with you and can relate. We’ve talked before.
I think my mother had some kind of disorder too but in those days they didn’t have as much knowledge about it. And it was more stigmatized; I doubt she got diagnosed with anything.
Doing what one feels is best for them is the way to go. If someone has a problem with it, it can be pointed out that we are individuals. Societal expectations are just too much at times. And the reason we have a mental health crisis in many places, in my opinion.
