I thought I was doing well, my anxiety hasn't bothered me for a week and i was feeling happy and at peace for the last dew days and then bam....
just got off the phone from my mum, I emailed her earlier coz I think I hav adhd/add and she just seems to hav disregarded it! Aparantly because my aunty's seen people with it i can't possibly have it! I think she just doesnt want me to have it coz it would mean she missed it while i was growing ip, she tried to tell me that being on here is bad for me and wouldn't believe how positive it's been for me, she also thinks she knows better than me what caused my anxity! (Last week she tried to tell me I was causing my own anxiety coz I didn't eat healthily enough!)
On top of that she told me shes going to send me to a therapist, but it would involve an argument with my dad (he desnt believe in spending money on therapists) I don't want them to fight because of me!
I also found out my grandmas in a home now, I can't stand to see her fade so fast, it hurts to see her like that.
To top it all off my boyfriends depressed and i can't do anything to help! And I can't phone him upset coz i don't want to make him worse!!!
I just don't know if I can cope anymore, I feel like all the positive steps i've made have counted for nothing! I just can't stop crying!

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
You know, mothers mean well, but they aren't always right and frequently don't know what is best for their children. Your family should be supportive of you doing things like this site if it makes you feel better. Including paying for a therapist if YOU want to do it.
I have one grandparent left now and still haven't gotten over the other three passing away. (Four if you count my husband's grandmother who was like my own.) It's terribly hard to face that part of life sometimes. Go see her as much as you can because you'll probably wish later that you did, even though it's hard to see her going downhill.
I hope things start looking up. There's a lot of people here who care. I think it's a good place.
I get to go pick up my little son now at school and pretend like everything is OK when I just feel like crying and going back to bed.
you got us to talk to, you dont need your boyfriend right now so dont worry about that.

Anyway you want to cheer yourself up... I pray on the tough issues. I know I may sound like a bible thumping weirdo, but it helps. You can't save Grandma, but you can be there for her. Pray for her and the strength to help her and the courage to face the emotions and challenges.
As for your ADHD, I don't know how old you are.. but in the past they didn't screen ADHD as vigorusly like they do now so your parents should feel bad.
As for your folks spazzing.... don't take it personally, but your parents will spazz out... it's what they do unfortunately. If your mother wants to say you don't have ADHD, how does she know?? See a doctor, they can help you, I've seen adults with ADHD and their meds work. If your Dad won't spring for a therapist, atleast he will let you see a doc and you can ask the doc to test you for ADHD.
I want to cheer you up, but I don't want to lie to you. As for your BF, help him when you are on stable. I tried to help someone when I was in my late teens and I wanted to keep them from hurting themselves.. turns out it was a big mistake. First fix yourself so you can have the strength to offer your help to your bf.
