i cannot connect with them.
I could tell everyone what they want to hear
please will someone hear me for once! I feel so alone.
I have my therapist telling me we need a conversation to work out the best help to offer me, i have my parents trying to move the situation onwards, and now i'll have a dr telling me it may be beneficial to take the ADs again.
Ultimately it will come down to what it always has - my own willpower. And i've run out of that. Why does noone understand that?
I'm surrounded by people but noone listens. I feel that unless i tell them what they want to hear they never will.
I feel pain because i'm causing stress when i never meant to cause any.
But i've lied for so long, i've pretended so much, and these are the thoughts that have been going through my mind for so long. They're not nice, and i know people don't want to hear them; all they want to talk about is ways to 'get better', but i can't pretend for others anymore.

Hi Abby, I am sorry that you are feeling so much distress. Sounds like you need to be true to yourself? Also sounds like you might be feelings that you have to take care of your parents a bit and not upset them like you are responsible for their feelings? It also sounds like you feel powerless among the therapist, your parents and the doc? Feeling empowered is really important for getting better.
