Lowkey it’s killing me that my parents are so ready to accept/take seriously and advocate for my sisters’s diagnosis when they vehemently denied mine and had to handle almost all of it myself. Our diagnoses are the same😐

literally the same thing happened to me growing up!! I was able to convince my mom to put me in therapy but was taken out after 2 months because my sibling needed therapy more

Parents REFUSED to get me tested/treated despite my begging and my parents being aware of a genetic predisposition until things were quite dire. As an adult my doctors determined that a huge amount of my struggle and subsequent conditions could’ve been avoided with an earlier diagnosis of the root cause issue. My sister has no interest in treatment and my parents are very concerned bc it’s “so obvious”. I do want her to get treatment bc it would improve her quality of life but damn it hurts

fuck that's awful I'm so so sorry my sibling has always been very difficult so everyone has always walked on eggshells around them and prioritized them bc of that. I'm the younger sibling and sort of became a sacrificial lamb because it was just assumed I could handle being put on the side lines and emotionally neglected. it seems like we're opposite situations almost lol. I really hope you're getting the treatment you need now though!!

I’m actually the best managed I’ve ever been in my life, slowly creeping towards “remission”! Sometimes the hurt just hurts tho🙃
