My parents don't understand my illness and always downplay it. i'm highly sensitive with a social phobia and whenever my parents spontaneously plan a trip and i'm supposed to come with them, it's pure stress for me. I need a bit of time to deal with the upcoming stressful situation, but my parents don't take it into account.
although my mother personally sent me to the therapist to get a diagnosis for my "strange" behavior, which I got.
i try to talk about it again and again but either the timing is bad or my mother in particular gets angry.
I'm 17 now and I want to face my fears more and more, but with my parents' rejection, I feel like it's only making it worse.
do you also have such experience? and how did you deal with it?
