My mother came to see me to chat.
She's saying that she's bored of doing nothing.
Spoke to her about finding a hobby, and she doesn't seem to like anything. Told her about canning, she doesn't want, told her about garden, same, crochet, puzzles etc....nothing.
To me she also has depression and she denies it :shrug:

@mangeurdenuage depressed parents who don't do anything about it are really a shit experience :blobcathug:

@bonifartius It has been like that for over a decade, when I was 13 they were also directed for me to get psychiatrist help but they evaded it as they feared that I'd be taken away.
Recently they tried for themselves but they went to see some marabou instead of seeking a professional..

@mangeurdenuage
sorry to hear that! i do see psychologists and psychiatrists critically, but some things they do are really good methods. i think cognitive behavioral therapy is a quite good approach without too much fucking with peoples brain.

my mother also would _never_ visit a professional about her problems. i think this generation grew up with big fears of being a nutjob. maybe not without reason regarding lobotomies were a thing.
