Edit: I was as to negotiate with the ones organizing the meeting to schedule for another day. I may have been panicked because I stopped Prozac for a while. I’m really sorry for lashing out like that, and thank you for your understanding.

I’m trying to get my diagnosis. Due to my parents not accepting me receiving mental healthcare, I had to do everything in secret.

It made my life so much easier when I finally got Prozac. I could finally sleep. Little to no obsessions or intrusive thoughts. I also stopped having pica.

But I can’t get a diagnosis in most places without involving my parents. Until I found someone who could give me one.

Thing is, if I miss tomorrow’s appointment, I can no longer have another chance at it. The health system is clogged and all.

I had everything planned out. Told them I was going out and all. But now, I can’t, because our basement got flooded and I have to stay in order to help them.

I know this is what I get for wanting the best of two worlds: my parents’ support and getting behind their backs. But I just didn’t want to keep suffering anymore. I just want it all to stop.

    Man if only I was a good liar XD.

    I have an idea but it might backfire hard. I think I’m too much of a coward to even ask my parents to go out again.

      Don’t ask, tell. “I have to go, I’ll be back in a few hours”. Then leave. You are not making a request.

      As the other person said, don’t lie: I have to go out, I’ll be back soon. And go.

      It’s easier to ask for forgiveness than for permission. I wish you all the best and good luck, I hope it works out for you!
