You know in media, people talk about how someone will say something so outrageous that they just blue screen. They're brain just shuts down from the craziness? That happened to me the other day.
I never like talking to my parents about anything that concerns me because they just don't understand. Trying to tell my mom I was acesexual is something I dont ever want to do again and it wasn't even a conversation. But thats not what destroyed me. What killed me was talking to my mom about my depression and anxiety.
They're are a lot of things wrong with my mom that she won't ever get tested for. But thats not what I'm upset about. I was going on a walk with my mom because I wanted a walk and she would've complained if I went without her. On this walk I talked to her about how a lot of my generation has depression and anxiety and how this can because of several things. I wont go into details but basically my mother doesn't get why so many of us can be so depressed after all her generation were told to suck it up and she turned out just fine. Sgwhsihekdhsh but thats not even getting to what killed me. We get home and my mother asks me about my depression and we talk about how ill have to live with it for the rest of my life. BUT THEN SHE ASKS ISNT MY ANXIETY CURABLE??? JWHSGXJ I just my brain flat lined. This women understands depression (I dont even know if she really understands) isn't CURABLE but thinks anxiety is???? I dont even fully remember what I said after because I was so flabbergasted I just couldnt.
Tdlr; my mother, no matter how open minded she thinks she is, she really isnt.
