That’s great that someone is checking up on you and seeing how you’re doing. I think it’s understandable that it’s hard to trust them as you don’t know them, but it sounds like you have a good relationship with your psych, so I think they’ve picked someone that they can trust to be there if you need them. 😄
I totally get what you mean with your family, mine was very much the same. I found with mine I had to expect a bit of both but ultimately, they would understand me and my position after time. As I got older, I found it was good to prompt people with what you need when addressing difficult topics. I would say things like, “Okay, this is going to be hard to talk about, so can you listen while I explain it all then we can talk at the end?” and it would lead to a lot better outcomes for both of us. Just food for thought if you feel something like that may work with yours, but you would know best with ya fam! 😁
Thanks for letting me know that you’d be able to reach out to a helpline if it gets bad. You’ve got a great head on your shoulders to know where your limits are and where to reach out to.
Sending you lots of hugs tonight!
