My sister is here with me,, we are having a catering for today and tomorrow.. And me im not feeling good.. Just throw up with lots of acids.. My sister dont know that im dealing with anxiety and for sure depression, only my husband knows what i really feel. I dont want my family knows that i have those illness.. Right now, she wanted me to go with her at the mall. And i really dont feel like it.. I just want to go not that far from my house. My fear is getting stronger and stronger. i am stressing out everytime we are cooking or if shes her with me.. I want to help myself building my confidence again with out telling them..

Im here outside getting some heat from the sun.. I really feel bad everytime my sister go here..

Bik,

I am sorry you are not feeling well and struggling with the things you are needing to get done for your job.:(

Do you feel that your sister would not understand or be not supportive if you were to explain your situation to her?

You will have to decide what is best for you of course...

...but sometimes keeping the fact that you are struggling to yourself just adds to the anxiety. ..

If telling her the whole truth is not a good idea...then at least tell her you are not feeling well in general...so you can pace yourself...and not have to fake being okay.

Do your coping skills as best you can.

I am sending encouragement and well wishes!

Hi Bik

Sorry to hear you are having a tough time at the moment.

If it was me I would tell your sister how you are feeling and i'm sure she will be supportive.

Double up on your coping skills and keep us posted.

I agree with Hibee, I would tell my sister what is going on, if she is mean and doesn't want to understand, then forget trying to please her.

Hi just an updates,

Thank you all for the concern.. I didn't share to my sister that I have anxiety/ depression. I know she don't get it why I have those illness.. She loves me to death I know that, but sharing those illnesses she won't understand. Maybe some other time or time will come I will share it with her.. But right now, I am more comfortable with keeping it secretly. Only my husband and his daughter knows it.. My sister is a positive person.. When I told her that i am not feeling good she feed me, she gave me water etc.. But when the time she told me to go out with her to go shopping wow my heart palpitations is racing like crazy because I don't want to go out from the house but guess what she told me "don't mind your heart lets go,you will change your feeling when you go out shopping" with the irritated voice and she was right. Went out with her and I forgot that I have my anxiety and not feeling good.. But of course I took my Xanax before leaving the house.. It helps a lot. it turns out it was a great day..

Thank you so much guys for responding my post.. Thank you for reading..

Thank you SC,Hibee and Deborahscinder

But today is stressing day for me because of we do catering today. We made money but wow is stressing though.. Right now my head wants to explode,,I got severe head ache on the top of my head.. Btw, we went shopping after we do catering.. I was surprised that I went out from my house 12 miles away,,so proud of myself.. I didn't take any Xanax.. Right now, my body is so tired from cooking.. Need to sleep now..

Good night everyone 😊
