Does anybody else feel as if family members just think you are making it up or going crazy?
I have been battling with panic attacks/depression for months now, and I am not a person who will openly share this with people as I know how narrow minded people can be.
Anyway, the point came where I was getting really bad and my partner knows about the attacks but struggles to understand them. I felt like I was always bringing him down so I stopped talking about it so much. I thought I would mention it to my mum one day when I was round the house, thinking she would reassure me and I would feel a bit better. How wrong could I have been! She didnt understand at all and told me the rate im going I'll be in the looney hospital before long!
I can't begin to tell you how upset I was by this. I thought my own mother would understand and help me, and to make matters worse she has been discussing it with my sister. My sister just made me look such a fool at the dinner table in front of her boyfriend by making out i'm a mental case.
I really do hate my family for this and now have no one to turn to!
Sorry, just feel like I need a bit of advise!
