I'm gonna try to lie to my psychiatrist and avoid having my mom remembering to book a consultation as max as I can.
I guess I'm better off having fun at home but around a shitty family.
Depends, but lying to your psychiatrist helps. If you don't mind me asking, what did you get caught doing? I understand if you don't feel like telling some internet random, you probably shouldn't, but the answer does probably make quite a difference for the answer's accuracy.
