I am currently suffering from severe anxiety and no one seems to really get it. I still am living with my parents and if I try to talk to my mom about it she tries to top it with her own problems. I need some advice.

Any tips for anxiety?
Hello!
I am sorry that your mom does not want to listen to you talking. One thing that I would suggest is to tell your mom that you want to discuss your problems and if she can be there for you. If your mom starts talking about her problems then interrupt her and talk about your problems. Parents are sometimes not the easiest people to talk to.
I hope this helps a little bit.
I'm really sorry you're experiencing this situation.. I imagine this is causing you more anxiety and confusion. Are you able to seek out some counseling or confide in another trusted friend/adult? I have spent over half my life dealing with severe anxiety and it wasn't until 1.5yrs ago that I began therapy with a Christian counselor and while I still struggle a bit, I have such a grip on my behavior/mindset/triggers that I literally am being made new, all glory to God. So I really encourage you to seek some type of support.. I'm sorry your mom seems to be struggling as well, but my advice is to lift her up in prayer and seek help for yourself.. because you can only change you. It's a difficult road, but it sounds like you know that God is with you and will lead you.. keep your head up, I'm praying for you to have the courage to seek out the help you need and the clarity to see your circumstance from God's perspective. If you need some great resources for depression/counseling I'd be happy to send some your way!
