Having to deal with both depression and anxiety is already shitty on its own, but having family and peers constantly criticizing me for it makes me feel even worse. My parents are a little more understanding, but even they can sometimes be just as bad. When I’m trying to shake off intense feelings of nervousness, telling me to “stop it”, “cut it out”, or “get it together” doesn’t exactly help. When I inform them that that’s not how anxiety works, they start this huge lecture about how I’m not gonna make it in the real world and how I’m setting myself up to fail. I love my parents and I know they love me, but honestly I’m at a point where I just feel isolated and alone…
