My family say I'm causing them to be unhappy with my anxiety ..

My dad just turns nasty to me.

I've had generalised anxiety and heart palpitations which are unbearable.

Last night I was having a panic attack ..

It was bad,I was sweating and my heart was missing beat after beat ..my chest and back felt tight and I thought I was going to faint or something bad was going to happen,I was crying.

My dad said "oh this again,your ruining my life"

I was having a full blown panic attack and he was saying this to me..

Then he said just don't talk to me about it,there's nothing wrong with you physically just forget about it..

I've tried explaining about the physical symptoms but he won't have it.

Today he is giving me the silent treatment..because I got like that last night..he is sat with his eyes closed and he told me to just disappear as I'm making him fed up.

I've got nobody to help or turn too

Sorry to hear this that's awful and unsupportive. Unfortunately there are people out there that are just not willing to understand or support others even your own relations. Is there anyone else that you can get support from - do you have counselling etc? You are your priority and you do what you need to do to get yourself better. X

You can talk to us on here you are not alone. Are you living at home or do you have your own space. From experience being around negative and unsupportive people just makes things worse. X

I start my first cbt apt next Monday

I live alone but go to my dads daily as I hate sitting alone thinking.

Really hope things get better soon

Good luck for your appointment. When you feel ready try starting some hobbies to get you out and it's ok to have some space from your dad if he is being negative and unsupportive. It's about breaking out of the negative cycles that we are in to move forward x

That's awful and I know how alone that can make one feel. I have some support from my folks and I still feel empty and alone so I can only imagine how it is when a family member like tour own father not being supportive can make you feel. Just continue to come to this forum as much as you want. I always come on here even when I don't post messages I come just to check on others and get reassurance by reading others post from time to time. I hope you feel better and sorry about how your dad made you feel. Keep pushing.

Some days are better than others.

I went out shopping alone on Tuesday perfectly fine then yesterday massive panic attack.

I'm always worried,I wake up every day with that horrible scared feeling.

I'm not scared to go out this time it's more general worry of illness and something bad happening to me or my family.

Constantly looking for symptoms that I might have.
