I still cannot believe that I'm feel embarrased and hurt just because my parents' not real supporting and understand my mental illness, I don't even know how to educating them to understand me:( when they're shouting, I'm having panic attack and I barely cannot saying anything:( I'm drowning on this:(


It makes me feel worthless and depress, also the anxiety grows higher. Even every morning, I just wanna stay in bed, and I don't deserve to woke up, maybe I'm better off dead:( I'm so tired for dealing with this kind mental illness. The worst scene scenario is, in my country, I'm getting hard to find a community who had the same illness as I am

Sometimes our real family is the people in our lives that we are most comfortable with. Seek out kindred spirits and you will be able to express yourself quite well, and they will understand you.

One way to educate your family about mental illness is the find information online about it, Print out some pages and have them read about it. I think it would be especilly useful if your sources were MD's and medical scholars like you can find on Google scholar.

Oh dear, so sorry you are goin through so much right now. You are a person worthy of love and be loved so you have to erase "worthless" in your dictionary. My guess is your parents might be at their wits end on how to cope and how to support you through your struggles, hence that might explained their reaction. Give them some time and hopefully with time and more information, they will be able to find ways to give you their support.

Do you have access to counselling or therapy session? It might be worth considering going to a trained person, talk to them about some of the things you are going through daily. With that, they might be able to impart some coping techniques which will help you when you have panic attack. Be well and take care. Praying for you. God Bless!
