1. My mom triggers me very badly. I want to have a civil conversation with my parents that goes into stuff but it’s not possible without everything I reveal becoming her ammunition. I want to be at a stage where I have conversations with her and I don’t feel angry or distressed for the rest of the day and possibly the next day.
2. My depression is so debilitating that I take 3-5 mental health days off every month. I know it‘s probably biological but I want to know if that can change, and if I can’t change it I would like to make peace with this fact and not feel guilty, but be shameless about my condition.
