For context I'm 22 and live with my parents, also psychiatric medication it's still very much taboo in my country.
I've been hoitng to therapy for 9 months now and after refusing for the first 2 times she suggested it, i think i agree with her in the fact that i need to know what is like to live w/o constant anxiety in order to continue making progress. I went to a psych consult and they gave me half a 12,5 mg paxil a day for a maximum of 9 months so I think it's a very "safe" dose an i was pretty content with the idea.
I told my parents bc they didnt even know that I've been going to therapy and it just felt like too much to keep from them. They got really worried and started inquiring me about how i didn't even try to change anything before turning to meds and how i should just try exercising, my dad told me i might aswell tell him I'm starting MDMA and my mom even told me she wants to talk to my psychiatrist so she can understand why is it so necessary.
This reaction really made me start questioning myself and the fact that i might not even be "that bad" and now i just feel like I can't deal with this right now, i dont even want to go to therapy anymore, I haven't been able to eat much of anything and can't seem to want to do anything.
I really need some outside perspective or opinion or idk just some sort of support.
