I'm really bothered today and I can't shake it. I could use some hugs and kind words.

I shared my anxieties around applying for jobs and my dad told me I "think too much." My brother walked in and asked what we were talking about and my dad said "having peace of mind." It's entirely unhelpful and insulting to tell an anxious person to just "think less." Don't you think I've tried that? I don't really care that he's trying to be caring. He goes about it wrong and is closed-minded. I can't tell him what hurts my feelings because he just blows up and doesn't listen. It goes deeper than this, but he's seriously not a safe person to talk to and it really makes living really difficult. Lots of ups and downs lately :/ I feel unrested.
