Yeah, my mum just always thought i was shy, and just somethin i'd grow out of. Then she thought i was gay :roll: . . . . . It was only until i really stressed how i'd been feeling in a more assertive/demanding approach (for once!) that she is know realising things. Yet because of her immense philosophical, garbage views (sorry if i offend anyone
), has for 4 years only put me through cognitive therapy and completely rejects medication, saying that for me to be better, i got to just think positive, and like myself . . . . . But i do think positive, and i do like myself :? . . . . . so i think it's alot deeper then this, and i'm only a bit frustrated that it's only know, at 17 years old, that my mum is actually helping me out, and slowly openening her doors to other options. Ah well, don't feel as if i got anywhere, or contributed much in saying all this, but if it helps some of you, or maybe touches some of you, and maybe you can relate to it, then good, so be it, because i could sure relate to alot of what had been said in this thread.
