You had a Memorial Day vacation? Damn. I had to study a ton today.
I don't see the point in arguing with you about this, because it will just go around in circles. Instead, let me give you two visions of your life.
1. Keep doing what you're doing. Keep seeing a therapist who's no good for you. Keep failing to address the issue. Keep taking medication that isn't treating what's wrong with you. Who knows what that's doing to you? But whatever the case, keep going down this path. You see how you are now? Do you want to be like this when you're thirty, when you're fifty, when you're eighty? Do you want this to be your life? Do you want to sit there when you're fifty, still just as miserable, probably having achieved none of your potential and let your family down, and think "shit, I wish I'd done things differently"?
2. Make some changes now. Maybe there will be some short term problems, or maybe you can come up with convincing explanations that alleviate any tensions. Whatever the case, find someone who will actually help. Get the actual problem addressed. Get medication that actually treats what's wrong. Don't be like this when you're thirty, let alone fifty or eighty. Be well-adjusted and confident and going somewhere worthwhile with your life, rather than going around in the same bleak mental circles for the rest of your life. Your family will notice a positive change and it'll make them a hell of a lot happier.
Your choice.

Amen. The fear of path #1 is what made me finally make the decision to get back into therapy (after four years without it) and back on medication. And now my life is at least going somewhere. It was tough at first, and painful. There were tears and near panic attacks, but something had to be done. You can't make an omelette without breaking a few eggs.
Screwtape, you have to ask yourself, 'When will there be a better time to make some changes?' You can keep waiting for the perfect time, but it might not come. Maybe it's time to stop making excuses and running away from the responsibility of taking care of your problems. If you want to change, you're the only person that can make that happen.
I would choose this. I am honestly afraid of the short term consequences. I don't want to take my mom on this journey anymore. It isn't good for her.
Essay done at 2503 words. Not bad given the required word count is 2500.
Nice. All three of my essays due in approximately two weeks currently have zero words written. Oops.
My buddy has a shore house outside of Rehoboth, so I spent a day there and a day in Ocean City, MD.
More your neck of the woods.
Are you under your parents' medical insurance, or are they footing the bill or something. Otherwise they don't necessarily need to be involved at all. You're an adult, perfectly capable of making and attending your own appointments.I would choose this. I am honestly afraid of the short term consequences.

I've been out there in the past. A couple years back, I stayed at Bethany Beach and traveled 20 or so minutes to Ocean City. Beautiful place. Hope you had a good time.
I have a 3000 word one due sometime and i have no idea what i'm going to write.
Great.

I suggest you look into a behavioural health center in your city. The payment options can be quite reasonable, if you want to take care of it for yourself. I don't have insurance, and I only have to pay $20 per appointment, which is not bad at all.
Rehoboth was nice. It has a huge gay population because (from what someone said) there's a gay beach section on the south side of town. Never made it that far, but we saw a ton of them walking around town (we stayed in the center of town and challenged local 30 year olds to beach volleyball, winning every game). Nice to see that parts of America aren't in the fucking stone age.
We used fake names when meeting girls on the boardwalks both nights. My one buddy was Finch from American Pie and the rest of us stole names from out school's baseball coaches. After we gave out our numbers, we changed all our voicemails to the fake names for the rest of the weekend.
I have to involve my mom for a couple reasons: I'm on her insurance, I don't have a job yet so I couldn't pay for appointments and I can't drive.
Sounds fucking awesome. You made those two days count.
Surprised to hear that 30 year-old Ocean City-dwellers suck so badly at volleyball. They're not that old.
Ah. That's different then.
Honestly, getting a job would really give you some social experience.
We only played volleyball in Rehoboth. But they weren't bad, we're just fucking awesome.
I play server. I have a great serve. I don't do much else, though. I'm not tall enough to play front line and I may have broken my thumb on Saturday, so my sets weren't working too well either.
:stumbles in:
Hello. I just had to stop by a thread that is named after my hometown!
I'm much more socially confident online. Online there's no pressure of speech. I can take my time to stop and think and work out what I'm going to say. In real life, in real time, I'm more likely to say something stupid and embarrass myself, or not be able to think up anything to say at all.And until you said something on this thread, I had never guessed any of this about you. You seemed like one of the more socially confident people here, to me! So clearly it's worked for you. I see no reason to believe it wouldn't work for Screwtape either.
So you're a Fresh Killer?
Excuse me while I back away slowly, avoiding eye contact ...
I've played volleyball a couple of times. Serving was probably the easiest thing for me too...for similar reasons.
How the fuck did you break you thumb? That's no good.
A friend of mine broke her thumb while trying to grab the remote control as it fell from the side of the couch. She was quite embarrassed to tell the doctor that.How the fuck did you break you thumb? That's no good.

I sometimes find myself inwardly scolding myself and hating myself for tiny embarrassments which happened years prior and that surely no one else remembers.
