Parents

[Jenn411]

I’ve posted before about parents before. This morning, I was having bad anxiety this morning and my mom started to raise her voice at me like she was angry at me for having anxiety. Like I don’t want to have anxiety, why would anybody? Does any body have an suggestions on how to better communicate with the people around you?

Have you tried telling her how she is making you feel? Maybe showing her all the symptoms that anxiety gives you so she can see how hard it is and how much support you need.

It’s hard for people to understand unless they suffer from it themselves!! It’s orobably making them feel stressed and worried about you so people do sometimes react like that. If your parents use computers ect then why don’t you find some information on anxiety and how it affects you and send them a link!! Or consider writing it down in a letter and giving it to them so they can have an insight into how you really feel and you don’t choose to feel that way .

There was a point my mum seemed angry at me for my anxiety etc it wasn’t untill I spoke about how I felt and showed I was willing to fight it that she started to understand how hard it was for me. It takes time it’s hard for people to understand everyone is different with how they feel and cope etc. I don’t find myself needing so much support just for my mum to say that it’s ok and she understands I’m struggling is enough for me. I hope things get better for you x
