#eg him thinkin the way to fix my depression is to try to stop me displaying symptoms of depression

I think the problem with ppl like my dad is when theres a problem, they jump to try to fix the consequences of that problem. But they completely ignore the cause of the problem, since it seems too hard to fix, especially when the cause is so ingrained into society like a system of how things work rather than just something small. So instead of trying to cut off the problem from the root, he keeps tryna chop away at the branches growing from the problem, hoping that if he keeps going theyll eventually stop growing.

But obviously, problems r like chimeras in a way n if u keep wildly swingin ur just creatin new problems 4 urself rather than solving the original.

#night thoughts #eg him thinkin the way to fix my depression is to try to stop me displaying symptoms of depression #and by that he wants me to be treated as if im someone who isnt depressed #and expects me to go to school everyday and do every lesson and complete all the homework #and talk to my family and show Ambition and Potential and how Clever i am #rather than lookin at the actual CAUSE of depression #obviously its also the difference between temporary illness vs longterm #same way that if i had like a fever i could take a sick day and if i was rlly upset after a breakup or a death i could get some free days #but when its chronic pain w my back and my legs and chronic depression theres less space to be forgiving #its always “get well soon” isnt it
