Man this is one of those things that make me break down crying. My mom sends me old family pics of me being happy since I was a child to when I was a teen, and she tells me about how much love she and my dad have given to me. She tells me to remember those good times and the life I've had, but none of that really matters to me in my current life.

The fact she can't understand how truly sad I've been and what goes through my mind, with her perspective being how her happy son became pessimistic and sad all the time, makes me so deeply sad.

They would never truly understand me, it's just not possible for my parents. They wanna send me to a psychologist, but there is nothing a professional could do about me.

I want to live a better life, but when you've been having so bad days for over a year and are also aware of your disadvantages in life, it's just hard to be optimistic and act to change anything :feelswhy:

Happiness requires strong material conditions in ur life and a somewhat delusional brain chemistry

Isn't therapy just cope where they'd manipulate me?

nah therapy is just a place for you to open up to someone and have feedback alot of times they won't give you coping mechanisms they'll just kinda show you, you can be yourself without being criticized

Idk, maybe it could help me, but I also do think I can help myself alone

They wouldn't quite understand me for being isolated so much time because of my looks. For example, I started balding at 17 and now I'm recovering my hair with dut, but they would've probably told me how it was not that important and "it doesn't define you, it's just X"
