Comment on Has anyone here ever doubted if your parents were your "real" parents? Is it normal to have these weird thoughts?

Do you have a birth certificate?

Memories are fuzzy, but I should have one, since the N-600 required it.

That said tho, birth certificates don’t exactly prove much, other than that I legally exist. I mean, what if that birth certificate was issued in the name of a deceased person? What if, hypothetically speaking, if these aren’t my biological parents, and their original kid died, and they kidnapped me as a weird parental desire to fill in their now-dead child’s place, used as like a sort of bandaid over their grief or something?

Idk maybe I read too much fucked up news stories or watch too many tv drama.

Do you have access to a mental health professional?

And no, I got a bunch of referrals but sort of procrastinated. I should probably schedule an appointment, this depression headache is killing me.

I don’t have a driver license so I need my parents to drive me to doctors visits. Unless I’m gonna waste like $30 on Uber every trip, which I don’t have the luxury of. And I absolutely cannot do public transit, tooo many people. My parents (if they even are my parents, that is) are busy all the time. I’m too broke, and I need them be with me to get them to pay the copays.

Oh fuck, ever since I stopped taking antidepressants, my thoughts just go fucking wild.
