Are you struggling on your own?

In the last two weeks our therapists have answered 211 queries related to mental health.

General Query

(This question is for you if you live in India.) Have you told your parents about your mental health issues, relationship issues, or addictions? And if yes, do they understand these things and support you to get over them, or are you struggling on your own to get over your problems? I am struggling with my mental health issues on my own because I have tried to tell my parents about them, but they don't try to understand and accept them. They say mental health problems are nothing. Please share your situation in detail (if you wish) so that I can relate.

@CassieDoe should I keep struggling with my problems on my own?

I would say it really depends.. some parents do understand mental struggles, some not.. if u feel comfortable with ur parents u should share... this will make things easier for u

ardentorange7
You should take help from therapist
