My parents are forcing me to see a therapist again ugh not exited for that. Never helped me in the slightest. They always tried to ask me questions to make me “think deeper” but there isn’t anything deeper to think, and they prolly thought I just didn’t want to share but I genuinely tell the truth and do as much as I can’t but it doesn’...... reply
