Don’t want to accept the pain

It's really understandable that you'd be feeling uncertain about this @creative_writer especially considering your parent's misgivings about therapy. 

I think talking about this stuff is always going to be so complicated and difficult, but that doesn't mean that it's wrong.

@Ru-bee I guess I also come from a culture where parents are respected, challenging them is frowned upon. Family is complicated, you can love them but sometimes trauma comes from the family even if it’s unintentional. Being overprotective towards kids can feel a bit controlling for kids. Another thing that bothers me, maybe it’s not my place to say. Children are expected to apologise when they do something wrong, but parents don’t have that obligation and will likely not apologise as often

I’m in physical pain from migraine but my body can’t tolerate pain meds 🤕. It’s been triggered by bipolar and lack of sleep
