『 Moody Says. . .』

So I am proud of myself for actually opening up about my mental illness and some of my struggles
with mental illness to my dad. It may not seem like a huge step. But for someone who took literal years
just to tell my sister "hey i have depression" it's a big deal.
I struggle on a daily basis with really bad depression, anxiety[social and separation] and recently, ADHD.
I haven't found a lot of coping mechanisms for these other than art.
And it was hard to tell my parent since we already have so much going on with my mother's Declining health
and of course stress of the pandemic.
But brought it up after talking how my relatives like to act as if they are doctor's when my grandma is struggling
with her husband's health.
But it's quite a big deal. I am a very reserved and quiet person.
I don't like to tell people bad news.
But he was very kind and understanding of it. He may not completely understand it yet, as well as my sister or even myself.
But it's nice to not have to hide that I have a lot of struggles of doing just daily tasks like easy chores.
