I'm not sure if he'd buy the stress bit with me been off work for 12 days so far
What would be the consequence of him not believing you? It doesn't matter if he likes the answer if you want to maintain your privacy set boundaries, and stick to them. In that amount of time you could have gone from a cold to emotional stress.
I work in retail, similar to asda/Walmart so I've been at work throughout the pandemic so he knows I dont really care about that.
And I dont know tbh. Just always felt uncomfortable telling people especially family, no idea why
I've text 1 of the other managers im friends with and told her whats going on, she tries to understand. Its just my brother. He's definitely gonna wonder if I've still got a job and lying about it lol I will 100% have a job after my time off lol
He does care, he's always supported me even in my worst days even if he doesn't know all the facts, maybe im just paranoid and reading far too much into it idk
Me and my ex fiance split up about 6 weeks ago or so, I was still going to work and everything fine, then I all of a sudden had this mental breakdown,
Think about giving your brother a chance to hear the truth. I understand its hard to talk about and ,ironically ,usually even more so when its someone close like a family member. But maybe ,just maybe his reaction might surprise you in a good way. Good luck.
It might surprise me, hes usually really supportive anyway, with this kind of thing I've always shut myself off due to the subject matter, its still fairly taboo to talk about certain mental health issues with people
I dont know either, he must know something is abit wrong, coz im sat in my bedroom with the door shut every day,
That is a good 1, coz they do change sometimes but coz im not sure when ill be back at work I wouldnt know what to say
Oh no how come if you don't mind me asking, you dont have to say. I'm surprised my brother still is involved with me tbh, as almost everyone over the last 5 years has gone
Thats daft, money isn't everything, I know a guy that earns a really good living but is an asshole, I quote "financial freedom is key" says it all really. For him money is everything. For me, as long as I can afford to pay my bills and then enjoy myself a little afterwards. Thats enough for me, never been bothered about money that much
No ,in general its not easy. Personally , I have always found it easier to talk to friends about my mental health struggles than to family. But everyone is different and have different experiences with this stuff.
