i just want to book me an appointment....

i feel like noone get's me and my family
are always there for me
but i won't tell them what's going on with me.

My partner seriously has no filter.
he doesnt understand what im going through
when i do tell him he ignores me.

Whats happening is my sister just came out of a car accident
and the one that was driving died, she was my cousin.
my cousin's home was like my runaway home. she took
care of me and always made sure i was alright.

My dad is dying infront of me and my family
and he shouldnt be.
I carnt picture life without him.

And all this other stuff, everyone always comes up to me for advice
and all i say is "book an appointment for a counceller, it will help you feel better"
but really, i just want to book me an appointment.

My family look at me like "she's so strong'
My partner looks at me like "get over it"

Which one should i listen to ?

Taaaa,

Sorry for your trouble.

You should take the advise that you give to everyone else. Go talk to someone.

Hang in there. Life does go on.

Good luck.

I agree!

Book the appointment. You have a lot on your shoulders. IT IS NOT WEAKNESS TO GET HELP WHEN YOU NEED IT--IT IS WHAT SMART PEOPLE DO!

Your partner appears to not understand that you are grieving and won't just "get over it" instead you'll learn how to cope and keep going on.

Get yourself some counseling-you have enough to deal with by yourself, let alone everybody else unloading on you. Take care of number 1 first! then worry about others.
