my thoughts and feelings

today i realized why, after a year of counseling, i still can't express my feelings. because i receive conflicting messages concerning my feelings. ever since my first panic attack my parents have always said that i could tell them how i feel, that i shouldn't keep anything bottled up inside. but as soon as i do tell them how i feel, they start

I get that, but your parents dont know what's in your head.....what's in your heart. Yeah, you technically have to listen to them, but legally you can do whatever you want. Leave if you can. I'm gonna tell you somethin you told me a while ago...dont listen to them, to anything, but your heart. You have to do what's best for you, not what your parents think is best for you.

the point wasn't about whether or not i should follow my heart. in the end, their actions (or lack of) will push me away. that post wasn't about where i'm headed in the future. it was about my emotional health. and that i finally realized why i can't talk to people about my feelings. now, with that in mind, please tell me how your reply was relevant to what i said.

because you listen to what they tell you instead of doing what's good for you. that what they say, because you think about it, will end up tearing you down. now that i re-read it, it kinda doesnt make sense. but that was my point.

i never once mentioned anything about listening to what they tell me to do.
