Sigh...She is trying to play the guilt trip on them, that's she's worried about my safety, that she does accept me, etc...Blah! Blah! Garbage.
Don't let yourself be guilt tripped. This is all medical. It needs to be done. It is not a "Choice" no matter how much they beat it into your head. Its the same as being blamed and not believed in when you are puking and say you have appendicitis... Only that lasts for years.
I was a little at first with my mom... About the money situation, and her not wanting me to start til I was out of college. BS like that. But ultimately health in general is more important than anything else... If you have a major health issue, even if it throws you into debt, go to the hospital. Same concept here. At the rate I was going I was feeling more and more permanently damaged and gone. Doing this wasn't about suicide per se or anything, but it saved parts of my mind I thought would never come back. Its health, so once again, no guilt over it.
Also, if your mom never told you to go outside because of meteorites and hail storms, yes try your best to put up with it until you could leave... But just never BELIEVE that crap. Be tactful, yes. Maybe suck up a little until you can get out of there... And, If you really are gonna get "Help" from some people, maybe they'll have the sense to see that it is your mom who has serious issues, probably even more so than you... My mom does the same thing, only has a pride/self righteous complex where she'll demand she talk to my shrink, yet she wont take a SINGLE pill or talk to anyone.
A satisfying life is very rarely safe and sheltered. Don't let what she's implying shrink your world... Because that happened a lot to me, and my grandma got it too. She basically smoked parliaments in her beautiful house until she got breast cancer again and died. Her anxieties were not totally under control and her life became her house, even though she had so many connections. Seemingly afraid of doing anything outside of her living room and house, it may have actually killed her, ironically. When all you have in your life are porcelain cheetahs and cigarettes, it probably worsened a habit and it may be possible that "Shelter" and "Safety" Actually killed her in the end. She knew Walt Disney and we just sold a few prints from him that were signed. Her husband was the editor of Newsweek I think it was for a while.
I'm kinda redundant but its just food for thought I guess
