Hi all,
Having a terrible week as my relationship is newest low with my siblings and parents.
My mom has turned up against me because of anxiety and depression.

I thought they understand my turmoil but they don't.

My medicine is not working as panic and anxiety is all time high.

I can't even look for a job which is what is needed most right now.

I feel alltimelow.

My relationship is in shambles too as my ex is bipolar and cause for my depression /anxiety troubles.
But now my own family is turning abusive and making me depressed as I never expected this.
My emotional state is not positive or showing progress .
As I cannot recover from this fact ...that they don't love me. cry sad shocked shakehead

I'm so very sorry, I know too well how this feels as I have been going thru it myself.

It is extremely difficult for those that are not going through this to really understand. My family becomes extremely frustrated also, they just don't get it. I don't want to feel this way and I'm doing what I can try to get better. It is an extremely difficult process. I believe we will all get through this.

Hi Cilly,

It is hard enough to deal with the challenges of anxiety and depression when you have the support of your family...

...but so much more difficult when you feel you do not! ;(

However, it is not impossible, and you may need to now look for ways to regroup and do the best you can for yourself without depending on validation or encouragement from them.

While this is sad...it is ultimately their loss.

They are missing out on an oppurtunity to be in a relationship with you, if indeed this is all their choice.

Make sure to look on your side of the fence as well...to see if there are past actions that could have factored into this current situation. I say this not to point the finger...but as a suggestion to all of us, as a healthy step...as relationships always have two sides...

I am sorry this is so difficult...and we want you to know that we are always here and in support, and cheering you on.

In addition, I encourage you to get involved with groups of similar interests...

...or even better, a group of support for anxiety/depression sufferers...who you can meet with in person, since we are only here in virtual support.

Take baby steps as far as getting back on track and employed. Everyday, do just one, two...or a few things, whatever you can handle...and inch forward toward those goals. You can do it! :)

We are here and really pulling for you...keep posting!

S.C.
