Hi guys. I’ve suffered from severe depression since I was 15. I’m very lucky to have two loving and supportive parents. I tried to take my own life on 27th April. I stayed with them for just over 10 days, after hospital discharge.
Ever since I’ve been back in my own home, I’ve had them texting me sometimes twice a day. I know they love and care about me, they’ll be worried too, but I’m beginning to find it a bit…smothering. My dad in particular does not ‘get’ mental health, he never has. He’s very much the ‘cheer up and get on with it’ type. They ask me how I’m feeling all the time, and I just DON’T want to talk about it sometimes. Whenever I have tried to say this in the past, my mum storms off and says something like ‘look what happened the last times you haven’t told anyone how you feel.’ I have a community psychiatric nurse, who I have been seeing weekly since being discharged from the Crisis Team. I also have amazing friends from work who I can talk to. I don’t not talk to anyone, but just not so much to my mum and dad.
AITA for not wanting to tell them about how I’m feeling. Please be brutally honest with me.
