does anyone ever feel REALLY guilty for not visiting or talking to your parents as much as you usually do ? when ever my mental illness is at 1000 I self isolate myself from everyone including my parents and I've always been really busy and I feel so guilty like a horrible daughter! my parents don't understand my mental Illness so I can't talk to them about it really... but I feel so guilty bcuz I haven't seen my parents in like almost 2 weeks

      I'm a horrible daughter. I wish I could move back home with my mom but there's a lot of friction there with my stepfather. I wish I could go visit more often. She's right across town but might as well live on the other side of the world. We talk regularly, but I might see her house once a year. 😥

      I'm the same way, i have been forcing myself to take care of myself using some advice, imagine you are on a plane that is crashing, you must put YOUR oxygen mask on first. No matter what. Turns out i suck at taking this advice, but 'm thinking about it often and have to remind myself as often as i can. Find your own hypothetical oxygen mask and use it when you can, whether it is a shower, out food, take care of you so you can be there for everyone else.

      Everyday I feel guilty. My mom passed a year ago. I wish I would have been there more for her.

      No need to feel guilty. You need to look out for yourself first, especially when other people don’t understand 💜

          @beautifulDisasterxo I feel even worse. My mom was badly injured today due to negligence from the assisted living facility she’s in. I feel responsible and terrible and if she doesn’t make it out of this I’ll forever blame myself.
