GAD... what do I do?!

[Furrylll]

What do I do when my family thinks my GAD that was diagnosed by my doctor a few months ago, is fake and is just me being over dramatic. I don't want to burden them with it but I also can't do this alone?

It's not easy to deal with alone. Are you seeing a therapist by any chance? Also, we all have some sort of anxiety on this forum so don't ever hesitate to reach out. 😊

You are not alone. You have us here. We are all suffering from something and sometimes is best to find comfort with a stranger than with family because they don't understand. How old are you? Maybe you can take them to your appointmts and maybe a doctor can educate them a little about your condition.

Why people are so insensitive . My family are not the best support system either

Surround yourself with the people who understand and are supportive. I have had to detach from those who are negative and don't understand it's too stressful and tiring explaining it all the time. X
