Thanksgiving Holiday and my family hates me

[Bluebelle]

I am really crying and sad.

It is Thanksgiving Holidays in Canada- everyone has a big family meal of turkey and stuffing mashed potatos etc and I am excluded. I am never invited to these things.

My family has no toleration for my anxiety/depression -they think I am faking and things like this always make everything worse.

I shouldn't feel bad because I probably wouldn't be able to go due to my anxiety anyway but it makes me feel so worthless being excluded.

Everyone is making plans for this holiday weekend and cooking big family meals and I feel awful.

I shouldn't care-I am a vegan and don't eat turkey anyway- but I just feel so sad- like they are truly ashamed of me.

Oh hun, how awful for you. x
I think your family dont understand your problems, and this makes them fearful of it.
Im sure they do love you, just cant cope with you being ill.
Funny isnt it..THEY cant handle your illness, but YOU do!!
Enjoy your vegan meal with some good friends. x
