My life just took an 180º turn.. for worst.
So I had my appointment with the psychologist today. Needless to say that two minutes in and he was already giving me paper tissues. I was crying my heart out. I told him pretty much everything. Concentration problems, trouble sleeping, depression, lack of memories, suicidal thoughts (I explained I wouldn’t do it because of my mom tho). And according to him, I should had seeked help a long time ago, as now I am so deep into depression.
Result from appointment: Tomorrow I have another appointment with the psychiatrist so I can start right away taking antidepressives and something to make me sleep. After this improves a little bit, I will start treating for ADD (which apparently I have – what he said made sense, the description of someone who has it, is pretty much the description of myself). So, starting a cocktail of pills now.
Now the really freaking awesome part! (sarcasm for those who didn’t get it)
So, obviously I had to tell my mom. I told him I didn’t want him to tell her, to worry her, but he kinda encouraged me to tell I guess. Anyways I had to. The problem was the final result. A little background: I was living abroad with my mother, and as I was about to go somewhere else for uni, she was diagnosed with cancer, so we came back to my home country to have her treated. I started uni here. Now, she is better and since I’ve started uni here, I might as well finish it here. My mom is going back to where she was working (in another country) – well, she is going in two days (well, we are. I’m doing the trip there with her – won’t be on SP for a week). Now, I didn’t want her to know because I know she will worry, because we are each other’s world. She was finally doing better, recovering from cancer, being able to manage her depression a little bit better (she has chronic depression since about she was my age), and I knew she wasn’t going to take it well if she knew how I am. And.. I was right. So after we talked, she started saying how she wouldn’t go abroad, she would be here with me. Obviously I said no, she needs to be happy, to take this really good work opportunity, to prove to herself that she is so much stronger than what she thinks. In between tears, silent screams, she told me either she wouldn’t go or I’d move in with my dad or with my grandma until I got better (since she is leaving, I’d be living alone – which I was really looking forward to, I’m sick of people, I just want to be alone). I screamed and said I couldn’t believe she was doing this to me, that I’d be fine on my own – I’ll be medicated anyways. But then something struck me, and I realized that if I want her to be happy and not in a constant worry, I’d need to go. So I said fine, I’ll go – until I get better. This is going to be hell. I love my dad, and he loves me, but we have very different ways to be, and he doesn’t understand what I am going through. I’ll have my life fucked. I’ll be outside the center of the city. I only have classes in the afternoon but since I can only get a ride from my dad in the morning, cus there are not really many buses where he lives (it would take like 3hours to get to the center). So pretty much from 8am till midday I’ll be doing nothing when I could be sleeping. Just because. I’ll still need to get a job. Fuck, don’t they understand this is going to kill me? He’s gonna spend all his time on the phone with his girlfriend, and I’ll be even more alone. I just fucking need the meds to work so I’ll be able to get out of there. Oh and yes, other good news, I won’t have internet there! So how the hell am I going to be able to come on this website? Pretty much the only thing that has helped me through this time..
I’m getting medication which should make me better.
But I feel like crap. I want to die so bad. (didn’t tell my mom that part obviously).
I know I’m lucky to have parents who care, I never said the opposite – but this is NOT going to help me. It’s going to make me be more frustrated, more irritated.
I don’t know what to think or feel anymore, I’m exhausted.
Why the hell did I even consider telling my parents about this?! I should have kept my mouth close, gotten the medication myself and did things my way. Why do I always make the shittiest decisions? I’m so mad at myself. I want to scream, to pull my hair, to punch something.
My arm is still burning from the cuts.
I’m so sick of everything. I want to be done with all of this.
I guess the only good part from all of this is that I think I might be able to work with him to try and remember stuff from when I was younger, and try to find out what the fuck happened to me that broke me and scarred me so badly for life (although I’m pretty sure I know).
Thank you for those of you who had the patience to read this huge dreadful post.

I think you should let your mum stay. I mean, unless she really needs the cash and cant find a job in your town.
When she got sick, you became the adult. You moved to a different college to be with her. That’s fine. But now, You’re sick and it’s her turn to play the parent – so let her. Especially if you really think living with your dad will be worse for you.
Sorry, I haven’t seen my email if you sent anything. I think you need to tell the psychologist that you don’t want to live with your dad. Maybe he’ll be able to call and convince your mom to let you live alone where you can sleep in the morning and actually get to your classes and job and not be so isolated. Does she realize how bad you’re feeling because you have to live with your dad? If you want your mom to be happy you need to get better and if living with your dad will slow down that process don’t. I guess if you do, then try hard to get better so you can move back. It really seems like moving out is going to be really bad for you. Does your mom get that? Maybe if she knew you’d heal better at home she’d let you stay?
You guys don’t understand.. The reason why I’m alive is for my mom. Nothing else. If something ever happens to her (I hope it doesnt), I’ll be gone the next day. I just want her to be happy. She gave up so much for me already. And I don’t know, when I was younger I also kinda didn’t make her life that easy in certain times, I just want her to be happy now, she deserves it. Plus, the money there is better.
I don’t know what living with him will be. At least the whore of a stepmother is gone, so it won’t be THAT bad I guess. I just wanted to be on my own. They say it’s until I get better – but how fucking long will that take?
I have to do this, otherwise she won’t go.
If you really care about your mother, give her the gift of a healthy daughter. Something that money can’t buy. Getting better means accepting help – both from your shrink and your mother.
But I’ll be fine on my own as well. I’m old enough to be own my own.
I think now I understand better how important your mom is, but still think you need to take care of yourself. If you think it will her, which will make you feel better go live with your dad for a while. I suggest though, that if living with him is stressing you, you move back because your mom wants you well and that (like one_day said) will be the best gift you can give her. Maybe with all the motivation (stay positive, treat it as motivation, not pressure) to get better of getting to live on your own and making your mom happy you’ll recover faster. I hope so, try to enjoy your trip with your mom too, might as well!
I don’t really care anymore. Can’t be bothered to care honestly. I’ll do what she wants, and that’s it.
I went to the psychiatrist today (I really disliked the doctor tho) so now I’m starting on antidepressives, sleeping pills and something for memory. Yupi my own cocktail of pills!
Anyways, I’m going tomorrow so I am not sure I’ll be able to check sp or my email, unless I find wifi somewhere.
Btw, good news, I got this browser on my phone that allows me to get on sp wohooo. So when I get to my dad’s I’ll still be able to check it a little bit.
Did you see my reply on your post?
Ok, if you’re sure.
Pills aren’t too bad. Try being allergic to like every type of grass on Earth :/. Calling it a cocktail almost makes it sound fun too :).
Alright, well I hope your trip is good.
Oh, that’s good! What browser is it?
Yes, I got your reply, and I just answered everyone too.
Yeh I just realized 🙂 The browser’s called Dolphin.
You are allergic to grass? That suuuucks.
I should have taken my sleeping pill today, but I was so exhausted that I totaly passed out in bed. And now I wake up at 5am -.- (I fell asleep at around 11pm) I need to sleep, tomorrow I’m gonna drive tooons. bleh.
I need a spell that will make me fall asleep – like, “ti tra lim pa ti plim fall asleep trum plim ti pim” and puff I’d be asleep.
Never heard of it, but I’m glad it works!
And yeah, my doctor got my allergy test results and laughed and told me I was allergic to nature… Oh well, it’s just plants.
That kinda sucks, but at least you’ve gotten closer to being back on schedule for a few days right? That’s good!
I need to sleep too, so goodnight!
Hmmm, next time I’m really bored maybe I’ll log into my little brother’s wizard computer game he plays and ask someone for a sleep spell :). Worth a shot!
