I’m struggling today. I feel mad at a family member. I cried a couple times. I felt a little bit better. I got out of the house for half the day doing my volunteer job & that helped me. I’m still mad at my family member. My family member isn’t officially diagnosed with any mental illness diagnosis like me. I feel like this information about them would help me to deal with them better, but that may be wishful thinking. I’m getting therapy for myself, I decided today. This problem is bigger than me. I’m not that optimistic about it. It’s work. What else am I doing though?

You mean that if they'd go and get assessed, then having a name to it, would help deal with them, yes? But that's unlikely, I take it.

Yes & yes. I need to focus more on myself. I can’t control other people.

Sure can't, and no one can be helped until they really want to help themselves. There's no changing a person to suit you... at least not easy. When they're ready, maybe they'll seek some help. Until then, hugs!

I tried & quit online therapy. For several hundred dollars, I expected more than I got. I get more from this website & it’s free. But at least I tried. Counseling is such a crap shoot anyway.
