Anxiety disorder...feel like a burden to family? |
I have suffered from anxiety and panic disorder for over a year now. It controls a lot of my life...I am not able to work and it is difficult for me to go out alone. My boyfriend who I lived with broke up with me b/c of my anxiety so I am now living with my mom. My mom has really been my main and my only support person throughout this ordeal and I know she must be exhausted from it. We live very far away from the rest of our family and from my close friends. It is difficult for her to have her own life...she has even been delaying getting dental work done b/c I usually have so many appointments in the week. She also hasnt been able to go visit our extended family b/c she is afraid to leave me alone. I know she is happy to help me b/c she loves me but I think she gets frustrated at times. I am starting to feel like a major burden to everyone. I currently see a therapist twice a month. I am getting better but very slowly. My husband has that condition and others, I will not lie it is a burden. It would be easier for me to accept, if he were to go to cognitive therapy. If your therapy isn't done by taking baby step-actions towards recovery, then you are not getting better only worst. He has been this way for 5 years and I don't see him ever recovering. He plays computer games to pacify his condition he is now playing 17 hours everyday for the last 6 years. Please, do not take up an addictive behavior to cope!!! I have had it in the past, and know it is hard for family to see you this way. I was on medication that worked well however I got off of them due to weight gain. The best thing I did was go see a Homeopathy natural doc and within 2 weeks I was feeling better. Dont give up, there is a solution to your problem. You need a good medication or in my opinion find a good Homeopathy person to help you. good luck i felt like a large burden when my OCD was really bad. if they love you, which i'm sure they do, they will ALWAYS be there. try talking to a doctor/psychologist. don't worry, it comes as such a relief when you get better, which you WILL. Your mother will always be there for you. That's what mothers do. You will only be a burden if you let yourself be. Keep w/ therapy it takes along time to get well but it is possible to live w/ it and be productive. Know that there is an end to this only if you keep trying. Well I'm sure a lot of ppl with this problem feel that way, but your mom obviously loves you very much. Try seeking the help of a proffessional:) yes i feel selfish as well because sometimes i cant go out and do things with family and friends cuz it all revolves around how bad it is but my meds help i do i also live with my mom since she is elderly and i am not stable we care for each other and it actually works out |
