How to make my parents see my pain

[Pay44]

I know many people are struggling right now with the lock down, especially ones with anxiety. Although i cant seem to help being in a slump with little motivation to do anything. My parents are making me stress more than i was before and it dosen't help at all. I had a conversation with my mom and she mostly blamed things on my hormones and the fact that im growing up. I wish she could just see that im genuinely hurting, and my dad sat on the phone the whole time like the conversation wasnt important. Its like they dont see it and how they make things worse, how there apart of it all.

Hi Pay44 - remember, firstly that you are not alone. I am an ageing parent with anxiety and am guessing they are scared and in denial. Show them your post and my reply - force the conversation !

Your right, thank you!

I feel you. My parents are the cause of my anxiety. But they deny that they caused it
