because we all screw up. It's human nature, bro. I can totally relate to your parents not believing you. My mother still doesn't believe I have social anxiety disorder, despite having been diagnosed and treated by 5(!) different doctors since I was 18 years old. I'm 22 now, and only about 2 months ago after hospitilization did my grandparents finally admit that I have a serious anxiety problem. I think your parents are ignorant on the matter of mental health, but in time and with patience, you can convince them of your problems. I really feel for you, I just went through such a similar experience.
I really hope you hang in there, everyone on this board knows and respects your posts, and you have helped so many people here, including myself.
Best wishes,
Justin
