So I have anxiety. I take meds for it. I feel like my family downplays or doesn't believe that I actually need these meds or I am emotionally struggling. At dinner, I suggested getting an emotional support pet to help with my anxiety. And they were completely dismissive saying that I don't need it and that there are people who have it worse than I do that actually need it. My brother was annoyed and even said that he knows that I called the paramedics but he doesn't think it's that serious. He said he's surprised I still take my meds. I got teary eyed and immediately left and now I am crying. It may not seem like I have anxiety but that's because Im trying to cope with it by being positive. I feel like I have no support. This is why I don't come to them about personal issues. I'm just hurt right now and still crying as I write this.
