@@bedazzledmisery6969 That’s what I like about “The Exorcist.” It took a very practical approach on treating Reagan, trying every medical and psychiatric test out there until the only possible explanation was demonic possession.

[@IONATVS]

Yeah, the official policy of the Catholic Church when it comes to exorcisms is that they won’t even consider sending a priest if you haven’t checked with at least a couple medical and psychological professionals first. And a trained exorcist’s first job when they get there is to check that there’s no other reasonable explanations besides daemonia-such as the parents being crazy and abusive-and are not supposed to begin an exorcism until they are satisfied that all better remedies have been exhausted. Many regions do not have properly trained expert exorcists on call, though, since the VAST majority of calls end in “did you check with a doctor or psychologist?” “no.” “do that first, only call us back if they can’t help.” CLICK.

@@gayjayy not necessarily, respect is similar to honor in that you need to earn it, decency is treating another as a human. Respect would be looking up to and holding value to someone’s opinions and actions. Which should be earned by having valid opinions (hate is not an opinion. Opinions are based upon factuality and personal experience, no more no less. Faith does not constitute having an opinion on something, nor does hate. You claiming that sloths have dinosaur penises is not an opinion, it’s a falsehood. You saying that a dish is too sweet is an opinion. As it’s technically immeasurable and on an individualized scale. Saying gay people are bad is both measurable (as in you can adequately measure the positive impact individual people have had on others lives), it is too broad and general, and not on a scale represented by your personal experience and taste. It’s nothing but mere hate. ) actions are just as important, if someone does something so stupid or hateful that it could earn them a Darwin Award or prison time then it’s not deserving of respect. Everyone starts out with courtesy and decency, and must earn respect. That’s the thing.

That "Therapy is for weak people, be strong" is extremely ... it hits hard. I grew up with a mother that continuously threatened me whenever I "acted up" (a.k.a talked about my feelings) that she will take me to therapy, and theyll stab needles in me to sedate me, etc. She always presented it like the worst thing in the world, the worst place I could go.

DOWN WITH THE PARTRIACY

[@schniekeschnalle]

Unfortunately many parents treat their children like accessories and get mad when they don't function. My single mom was almost never home and when she was she used to scream at me for no reason when I was a child. Especially if I was upset or needed help, she flipped because I wasn't supposed to have feelings. When she was upset however, she guilt-tripped me into listening to her. I have awful self-esteem issues as an adult now including panic-attacks and depression but I will never be able to tell her because she simply says she doesn't remember most of the awful things she did to me. The horrifying thing is: that's probably true since she didn't view her behaviour as wrong back then because she was convinced I was a horrible child when I was just sensitive.

[@lottabubbles1596]

Here, have some virtual hot chocolate. It might do you good. I'm no good at reassuring people with words, but I hope the hot chocolate might help. Sometimes, people's perspectives can be extremely skewed, either to see everyone else as right and themselves as wrong, or to see everyone else as wrong and themselves as right. It's important to be good at self-reflection, thought before action. Unfortunately, this skill can only be cultivated through being surrounded by the right people so that they could guide you and you can follow in their footsteps. I'm sorry that you didn't have this kind of support growing up. Wherever you are, I hope you're in a much better place. It's never too late to learn anything, especially not moral values that help you grow and develop as a person. Don't blame yourself for anything your parents did, and don't put all your time and energy into anger against them. Both are mentally draining. The best way is to accept the cards you've been dealt with and make do with the situation at hand the best you can. I hope that you and everyone who's been through similar experiences would spent their adulthood living their lives to the fullest, far far away from these monsters. Take care.

My father would point blank tell me he only loved me because I was doing well in life. The worst part was he genuinely thought that was a nice thing to say. As I got older, I also realized he took my silence whenever he said something stupid or crazy as agreement, rather than not wanting to turn every time we talked into a fight.

Yes the whole “I suffered more than you” thing is so annoying! My dad was on a boat once and it got pretty bad. Once.

The first few times were okay because it was new but he’s been using it for years. Like come on people, no matter what you’re going through that doesn’t make anyone else’s problems “less”.

And thus gives a nice "screw you" to his mother just to spite her in the manner he sees as appropriate enough for the circumstances and that OP is comfortable with doing. He's 30. Seems like he's far more mature than his mother and certainly mature enough to be able to choose how they handle coping with their toxic parent as an adult.

Some folks do, and that's absolutely okay and what's right for those people that do! Others end up adapting to coexistence in a manner that allows boundaries to be maintained and always remaining aware of what's toxic and not okay from parent as well as still maintaining the level of relationship they are okay with having with their parents.

Seeing all these insane parents invalidate their kids' mental health, calling them fake and having the "a good attitude can overcome any fake mental problem" makes me hurt a lot inside, because my mum used to be like that, but she was able to change her ways when it mattered the most. I've struggled with anxiety and depression for about 5 years now, but I only got it formally diagnosed 2 years ago. Even though I didn't always express it outwardly, I was suffering a lot. When I was 16 or 17 when these things started to manifest, I asked my mum if she'd take me to see a psychiatrist because I felt depressed and was burning out a lot. She didn't exactly disregard my feelings, but also told me that I'm probably not suffering from a mental illness because I come from a good household with no known mental health problems in the family, so the chances of me having clinically diagnosable mental issues is pretty low. She told me that everyone suffers emotionally during teenage years, especially girls, and told me to just take it easy, relax and give myself some time. In retrospect, this is really poor advice, but I listened anyway and it kinda worked for a little while, but it never went away and eventually got worse. After I moved out at 18, I made an effort to actually speak to a doctor, who diagnosed me with moderate anxiety and seasonal affective depression disorder that gets worse during the winter/spring months. I started taking meds for it and surprise surprise, I'm more emotionally stable than I have been in 21 years. I talked about this with my mum and expected her to start calling me a faker, but actually she accepted it and promised to be more supportive. She even blamed herself for 'causing these problems in me by being a bad parent' and 'not knowing anything sooner'. I explained that it's in no way her fault, and as her first child, she has no prior experience or knowledge and we just have to learn about these things as we go along together. I thanked her for teaching me to be resilient, but also explained how there are some things that can't be solved with pure resilience. Now, she's very mindful of my mental health problems and actually listens when I explain my feelings to her, she makes sure to remind me to take my meds, looks for counsellors and therapists with me, is understanding and comforting when I tell her that I'm too mentally overwhelmed to do something (like go food shopping with her or make a phone call) and has made an effort to be more educated and understanding, which has greatly improved my relationship with her and my home life in just 18 months (which is super important as I'm living at home due to the pandemic). She has also started thinking about our family and when my brother turned out to have autism, she handled it so well. I'm so proud of her, and I'm so proud for all parents who have a bad history of being insensitive or a bit insane, but have made the effort to change for the better

[@shaquillemcgonigle1898]

That’s awesome! My mom also really struggled to understand my mental illness when I was a teenager. She thought my hair pulling as a child was a bad habit so she punished me for doing it not knowing that it’s an anxiety issue that I couldn’t just stop (trichotillomania) and then when I was old enough to somewhat recognize my feelings, she thought it was just teenage stuff. She was a teen mom when she had me and clearly didn’t have a normal teenage life so she probably didn’t know any better. Then as a young adult when I started to really spiral out of control, she helped me get some help. I think she read about my diagnoses and made an effort to understand them. From then on she was so supportive. I think it also made her realize that she was also struggling with depression and anxiety. Now she feels bad that she didn’t get me help when I was younger (although she DID send me to a counselor when I was like 11 but he was awful. When I told him that my sexual abuser had said gross and perverted things to me, a 6 year old child at that time, he asked me what he had said. I wasn’t able to say it because I couldn’t force the words out of my mouth. My throat would constrict and I could only sit there and cry in silence. After a couple appointments of me not being able to spit it out he told her I was fine and didn’t need to see him anymore, so it’s definitely mostly his fault imo). To me, what matters the most is how sensitive she is with my siblings’ feelings. My sister also started to struggle and she was so on top of it. I love that. ❤

When I was in second grade (I was 6 years old) we had to write a story for school, I don't remember what the story was supposed to be about, but I remember at the end of the story I decided to write "THE END" in big bold letters like I had seen in movies and children's books. Well when my mother was checking my homework she started yelling at me and making fun of me for "not knowing how to write properly" and "not paying attention when doing homework" also saying she saw me when I was writing that and she could see how I was making fun of the homework instead of doing it right, I can agree it was probably not very pretty but I was 6. In my "6 year old being yelled at by her parent for no reason" way I tried explaining to her what I was going for, you know the big "THE END" of children's books, but she never let me because everytime I talked she would just yell louder. The other day I was telling that story to someone and she said that never happened, because of course if she doesn't remember it then it didn't happen, but for me it was an awful experience that I will never forget (And she wonders why I didn't let her read my thesis for college lol)

Mother’s Day is the worst most triggering holiday for me. I’m out on my own as of this March but prior to that the amount of emotional abuse and manipulation from my mom to get cards and drawings and custom-sewn gifts from me was insane and I didn’t realize how awful it actually was for the longest time. I literally almost ended up smashing my hand with a brick in a psychotic breakdown because nothing was good enough for her, meanwhile my brother who never did shit for her on Mother’s Day (and was also emotionally abusive) was just watching her go off on me for my gift being “an afterthought”. Worst part is that my drawing/sewing/creative talents didn’t mean shit in the “real world” to her and she never saw them as work, so she always had the mentality of “this hand-sewn plushy with custom embroidery and the card that came with it (that I’m going to dismantle because I don’t like the words just the art) was the LEAST you could do after ALL I DO for you!!!!” + “iT’S aLL fUn fOR yOu aNyWaY!!1!” Ok bitch, I’m 22, and you’re never getting another Mother’s Day gift again. I’m not your art-slave anymore 🤡🙃 I’m on ok terms now with her and my brother but shit was fucked up. At least they recognize the mistakes they’ve made and are willing to give me space now. Bridges aren’t burned but they know that they’re capable of being burned so ig that helps them back off. I still talk to them occasionally but usually not for “just talking”. My dad is another story but I’m on better terms with him than I am with my mom or brother. Sorry to just randomly spill my guts in the comment section but I felt like I kinda needed to 😬

I went through massive trauma and my mom knew it. She said it was making me crazy and I had to see a therapist. She said it as an insult but I knew I needed help so I went to therapy. She would drive me to the therapist then afterwards would grill me about what I talked about then would get hysterical accusing me of blaming her for my problems because 'the mom was always blamed'. I'm surprised I survived not just the trauma but also her craziness.

[@BlueSodaPop_]

Two months ago I moved in with my dad, after almost dying and doing extremely bad mentally. I haven't spoken to my mom since, I don't plan on doing so in the near future. She's done some horrible things and now I'm desperately hoping that my siblings will get help after I showed everyone that not everything is fine at home. These videos make me kinda sad, but I just wanted to say: If you are in a situation like this, were you feel like breaking up contact is the best option, then it is. It can be hard to make decisions like that, especially if you're like me and don't want to hurt anyone. But sometimes you have to take the "bullet" of upsetting or hurting someone to improve your own mental health. It's okay. They'll eventually understand, and if they don't, then that shows even better why you had to make that decision.

[@WhiteWolfos]

Perhaps you can try to tackle some of those issues on your own with research. It could be something simple like not getting enough sun, lack of vitamins/certain minerals, inproper sleep routine/exercise or even eating too much of something like sugars before getting to bed etc (for common depression/fatigue) perhaps you can try organic foods and see if there's an improvement to low serotonin/hormone levels. Bacteria in your guts also have a surprising amount of ability to give depressive symptoms and fatigue. Of course, there's a giant spectrum of what could be the issues. You could try the Ada medical app which gives you a series of questions to give a list of possible diagnoses and help identify solutions. I hope you find some solutions that work for you. Best of luck.

A lot of emotionally manipulative parents do that and make their kids feelings about them without even hearing them out and considering them.

The stigma on mental Heath and seeing a psychiatrist, psychologist, therapist, or counselor needs to stop. If we are physically sick or unwell or have any physical issues we go to doctors and that’s ok. But if our minds are “sick” or “unwell” (words used for lack of better term) it’s not ok to see a doctor or professional about emotional, psychological, mental etc issues? It’s so very messed up. We need to do better for our kids and all generations that come after us. We need to get rid of the stigma. Normalize seeing a mental health professional at least a couple times a year for “check ups”. Take your kids to see them as well. Your mental health is just as important in keeping you healthy as your physically health. Btw it doesn’t make you less of a man to see a mental health professional just like it doesn’t make you less of a man to see any other medical professional.

Mental illness is exactly that -- an illness. It isn't a moral failing or being a weak person. If it could be overcome by sheer willpower, "acting normal", or "just cheering up" no one would be mentally ill.
