Re: Responsibility
I don't have much energy, but just wanted to say it is not because of a weak state of mind....
Have you seen a psychologist that you connected well with? I think people need people & you should try to reconnect when you feel strong enough too.... I'm very withdrawn myself atm...
Sending strength...
Namaste,
A

Re: Responsibility
Do you know about the Mental Health Plan you can get from your gp for Medicare subsided psychology sessions? They have always bulk billed me, but that may be because I am on DSP... Or maybe you could see an occupational therapist or a career advisor at your university to work out what to do re work & study?
It does seem like the family member may be partially responsible for your ongoing conflicts if they have unrealistic expectations of you...?
Strength...
Namaste,
Anna

Re: Responsibility
Hi Anna, I will check that. By acute care team I mean a psychiatrist, case manager, occupational therapist, and out patient care staff that I see every month or so (but more now since there has been some fluctuation in my health). It's been a while since I was last at uni and my peers have long since graduated from their first or second degrees.
My relative is an over-achiever and seeks to shape me into a better version of myself. I believe it's a doomed goal and it feels rather like unsolicited charity. I used to trust them but no longer. I have a feeling that they should seek help themselves and one of the things I want to do is actually have joint psychologist sessions with them. (Does that work?) My relative has had depressive cycles and suicial/self-harm type issues in the past that I'm not fully aware of and constantly self-blames and equally blames my parents for their life choices. Growing up with that key figure in my life has shaped many of my mental scars because I was constantly trying to understand and help as a minor and had very dehabilitating responses as a result.
One thing in life I will not willingly surround myself with is patronising negativity, yet here I stand.
Thank you so much for your concern. It helps to talk.
