I feel like I relate to almost no one, and that there is no one I can go to with my problems or mental health concerns. I’ve never wanted to discuss mental health with my parents, even if they are supportive. I feel disgust from the thought of it, because I’ve always been the “emotional” one in my family. I came to my mom during a meltdown and I heard her talking to my dad downstairs about how I was pmsing and honestly making it sound like I was a hysterical woman. I know it wasn’t intentional, and I know they care but I also know that they don’t take it seriously. My best friend who I travel with lacks the understanding to help people. I have another friend who can help but I feel like I can’t just go to her with everything because she never goes to me for help. If I’m the only one needing help then I’m using her as a therapist and that isn’t okay. I have a boyfriend but I can’t just rely on him for everything, he doesn’t want to be my only support system. All I want is for someone else to rely on me so that I don’t feel like the burden, and that the help is mutual. I feel so lonely and confused
