I've suffered anxiety for a few years and have been off meds for over a year now and doing very well.
I just need some advice on how to deal with something. It's not really anxiety related but does cause me some anxiety if that makes sense?!
It bothers me rather a lot that my mum and dad are close to my brother's girlfriend's family. They're always meeting up, talking about them, eating out with them etc,etc. I have spoken to my mum about how I feel as it's taking a bit of a toll on the relationship I have with my only brother. His girlfriend is annoying and I don't have a lot in common with her but I try to get on with her because of my brother.
I know they will continue to be close and I can't change that but how do I contain my jealousy? Is there something I can train myself to do or think? :unsure:
