Family Issues Support Group
Family issues is a huge range that go from minor conflict to major misbehaviour and even abuse on the part of individual members of the family occur. Whether you feel you are in a dysfunctional family or you're dealing with a very specific issue, this is the place to talk about it and find others who might be going through the same thing.

My 'family issues' are centered around thier complete inability to aceept and support me from a mental health perspective. I have eating disorders anxiety disorders and depression but they refuse to accept them which obviously just makes it worse. My mum knows and is in complete denial and even went so far as to secretly cancel all of my treatments and my dads reaction to my having panic attacks was pretty much 'stop being weak dont take the tablets just think positively' which isnt actualy very helpful. I live with my dad now but hes away an awful lot so I pretty much live alone. I have no family support structure which means that my getting better is somewhat hampered.
Does anyone else have similar problems?

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...
I haven't been in the exact same situation as you, but I know what it is like to have no support from your family when you feel like you're drowning.
It sounds to me like your family doesn't know how - and maybe doesn't want to - deal with the issues that are affecting you. They seem too scared to commit the emotional time and space to helping you. I hope that you are able to find some relief in the knowledge that there are people on forums like this that are here for you and will try to listen and help as much as we can. :)
As a person with zero family support structure, I would suggest trying to improve friendship support networks. Is there a group, activity, or hobby of some sort that you can be a part of? Even if you can't talk in depth about your issues with them, just being around other people can really help.
Let me know how you get on.
