Discussion Do the people around you make the suffering ‘worse’?

If so, in what way?

Not anymore because I've isolated myself to the point where the only people in my life are my parents and they don't expect anything of me anymore. They have accepted that I'm going to CTB eventually. It used to be a problem with my parents pressuring me to make something of myself and get over the trauma of the past and all my health problems (that they thought I was exaggerating about, but now they don't). I'm practically a hermit, so I don't have to deal with anyone else, thankfully. When I was a teenager I had to deal with living with abusive parents that didn't care about my suicidal ideation and then having to go to school with my peers telling me to kill myself. The few times I've had to deal with people in the medical profession has been bad enough, with them telling me that I have no reason to not get out and work and have a life, since I'm not dying... little do they know.
