Invalidated by my own father for seeking therapy

My parents did the same to me at first and for a long time they made me feel horrible with their comments. People who have never experienced anxiety or depression just don't understand. Over the years my parents eventually came to accept my condition, especially after I self harmed and spent some time in a psychiatric hospital. The hospital called all the people in my immediate life and bluntly told them of my conditions and that all would have to become accepting and supportive or I could end up back in the hospital or worse. Some family and friends turned away and went their separate ways, but I look at that as the trash taking itself out. 😊 20+ years and I'm still here!

That sucks I know how that is. I'm having to figure out therapy because originally my mom took me because I wasn't focusing in school. I wish she had kept trying. It's so hard to find help and people who know what to do about that. Your dad is not kind uhg

My mom doesn’t support me at all either, help me with therapy or doctors appointments. You should just get your own without your dads help

Seeing as you had to beg him to go to therapy in the first place, it seems he was never supportive :( unfortunately parents can be like that. But you are the only one who truly knows how your medicine and mental illness affect you :) so don't listen to what anyone else says, even if they are your parents
