:I

i just opened myself up to my parents. I told to them that I have big anxiety problems. I hoped they could relate and give useful advice and take sympathy. That did not happen. They started shouting and saying that if I dont cooperate its not going to be better, that I shoudnt study abroad, that I need to drop out of every class then. I feel so alone and feel like I cant tell them when I am feeling bad. I just want a hug.

    *virtual hug*Its okay.At least you let them know but,sometimes,to get away from anxiety is hard totally.But,its not impossible.Sometime,by meeting new people,open yourself up to see the world in thousand view and try to look for something that may ease you.Who knows what future hold.Even the most dangerous disease may be gone one day.So,let us hope the best for ourself and,try to look out for something to make your anxiety gone.Either by,practicing meditation.Or,something with risk.Which is to face what make you got the anxiety and try to learn from it.Or,just always try to think positive.And,any other way we can do.Do it by yourself is the most assuring way and can be permanent.Bcz,if it wasnt us,who will then?Btw,you are doing great!Keep fighting till your dreams is fighting for you!

    Im sending you all the warm hugs and courage meant you need. However, coming from unsupportive parents, your best bet is to cut ties. I know it hurts, the hardest thing I have done, but itโ€™s not about them anymore, it about yourself.

    \hug. I am sorry that happened to you. It's so painful when the people in your life who should be the most understanding and supportive are in fact the least understanding and supportive. I've been there with my own family; I would tell them about my emotional and psychological struggles and then realize that I was on my own in dealing with them. I hope you find people who truly love and support you.
