It’s true that every family is unique, but I’ve noticed that in many Chinese families especially among older generations, mental health struggles are often brushed off as just "personality quirks" or even weaknesses.
If your parents have spent time in western cultures, their views might be more open-minded, but it sounds like they still hold onto some traditional beliefs. That can make things even harder when you’re trying to talk about what you’re going through.
Have you looked into local support groups or communities where you can connect with others who understand what you’re experiencing? Sometimes, just knowing you’re not alone and having a safe space to share can make a difference.
