Family overwhelms me

[LibraryLove]

I have a big family: I have nine siblings and there’s always drama or there’s someone who talks louder or has more to say. And sometimes I feel like I’m not as accomplished or I don’t have as much to talk about and then I get this sense of being really overwhelmed and I just want to leave and be by myself. I feel like that’s why I have a hard time getting in to a holiday spirit, it’s because I’m not realizing I’m dreading going home and being cramped in my parents house with everyone again. Does anyone else get overwhelmed with their families?

I know that feeling . Set some goals to do something that makes you happy then run with it . Explaining to people that we have anxiety is hard .

Yeah and sometimes I feel like it’s even harder when you have a big family cause someone always has a worse problem than you.

We can only help each other out with our problems.
