I don't know how the hell I managed to do it but I just went and had a massive heart to heart with my mum. I never usually tell her anything but we were talking then all of a sudden I was telling her how much I hate psychiatrists and stuff. I then got really fucking brave and spiled my guts about almost everything. I showed her my diary, the really bad parts. The bits that spoke about the voices, the other world and worst of all the violent images and urges I have. She now sees why I hate psychiatrists and pretty much everyone else.
She was shocked to say the least and told me that I NEED to do something about it and fast. She seems to be terrified that I'm about to go murder someone. She told me that she suspects I have schizophrenia and most definitely some sort of personality disorder...just great. She was once a psychiatric nurse so ya know. She's going to go to a doctor about me and demand that something is done but they don't listen to me so why would they listen to her?
I can't believe I told her so much stuff, I even mentioned the purging but said it really quickly and I bet that is the last thing on her mind. She certainly doesn't see me as her sweet and innocent little girl anymore. I went out the front door and she almost had a heart attack...she probably thinks of me as a right monster.
I've stayed up all night again and now that I've told mum all that, I'm absolutely shattered. I need to go to bed not just for sleep but to stop myself from binging even more. I'm bloated and I have stomach cramps as I haven't purged the last lot of food.
I wish I hadn't of told mum now...here comes the guilt, paranoia, fear, anxiety and everything else.
Bed Time!
I hope you won't regret telling her. Parents flicker out of their mind when stuff like that happens because it's beyond possibility in their world. Like when I took an overdose. but she'll come down to earth and sit there for a while, trying to drag you down from nightsky as well... That's most common, I've heard. Hoping to hear a lot more about where this leaves. :)
ReplyDeleteDon't regret telling her, she may be freaking out and acting weird now, but she's probably just as scared as you are.
ReplyDeleteI think what you did was courageous and awesome, and I hope you can feel better soon.
