Confused

[Unicorni12]

Hey everyone!, So i struggle with depression and anxiety i went to a psychiatrist on my own and was diagnosed with MDD and GAD. I tried telling my Family once but they all thought i was kidding. I have a boyfriend and i told him about it and he does not believe me neither. I feel so alone and trapped inside a box that i cannot seem to get out of. i do not speak about it to none of my 'friends' . i just do not want to be here anymore.

It’s not up to you to care what anyone else thinks. It’s information overload for them. That’s why we see a third party. You can’t teach them anything and you can’t help them understand. Your job is to get healthy. You know your truth. We’re here for you. Talk to people who already understand you. It’s like talking about your period with a 70-year-old man. Ain’t happening. Stick with your own.

I agree N! you reach out to people thinking you might get support and instead they act you like you just dropped a turd in the punch bowl. This is the place for you unicorn...Many of us can relate and have been in that hole of darkness. Hang in there

Except we’re in the light. They’re still caught in The Matrix. They can’t see. They’re in the TV screen. We’re free to roam about.

I had this same issue! My family didn’t understand at all. My anxiety was so bad that I could drive without having a panic attack. My boyfriend didn’t know what to do but he tried to be understanding. The best thing to do is come on here and express yourself also seek a therapist for help coping with it. I hope things get better 💕

I am so sorry your family and boyfriend are not taking you seriously. That is very hurtful. Has your psychiatrist offered you any help or support? I would try to find a therapist as I think that will really benefit you.

Hi @ unicorni12

Good for you for investing in yourself!

Hmmm, regarding your family...it may be wise to extend them grace in their lack of understanding. We do not all believe in the same things and we don’t have to. Yes, it would be nice to have our family, friends, and partners on board with our beliefs, but it is not always that way just like we don’t always agree with their values and beliefs. In this case it may be others that can support you. Ex. you have come on to this site to receive support from “us”. Perhaps you will be connecting to a therapist who can also be a support?

You need to be here...you are of value to others! Just think about the people who have read your post as they were signing on for support thinking that no one experiences the same feelings, that they are alone, and thereby should not be here...and are now like wait, I am not alone, this happens to others, all because of YOUR post!

We are here to help you and believe it or not you are here to help others!
