No matter what we want acceptance from our parents. Even after they leave this world we still hear their voices when we make decisions...

This illness is something that many people HAVE JUST NOT ACCEPTED AS AN ILLNESS. They preach...It is something that we CAN control but we decide not to... thus the term it is all in our head!As painful as it is, stop looking for their acceptance and know that you can be helped with medication. Your feelings and ability to cope are strengthened and your attitude about living is positive.

I was convinced that if I had cancer then everyone would be all over me showering me with compassion and understanding. This is no different and it can be just as fatal as cancer if left untreated.

Keep doing what is best for you and leave them out of it. Your ability to feel better matters...
