Jessica and her sister missed a trip to the beach, so I made them a video to cheer them up.

i can relate to your story, my dad left when i was young and we met for the first time a few months ago, since then my anxiety has gotten worse and the thing is no one really knows. I don't have many friends at school but there is one person that knows about my anxiety. I would really like my mum to know, but i feel like she wouldn't care/understand.. We were in a restaurant and i felt unconfortable because we were on a table in the middle of the room, when i asked politly to move she got angry

Even if you think your family won’t understand or accept it, at least introducing it to them is a step in them eventually understanding. I would suggest this:

Write a letter to each of the people you want to know about it, and detail your condition, and the things that you are afraid they will think, and then list examples of your anxiety behavior when they were present.

I bet they will see what you mean when they have memories of you doing things they didn’t understand. People who don’t have anxiety don’t understand why you and I like to pick tables by the exits where we can see the whole room and no one is behind us. 

People without anxiety don’t understand why picking up the phone and calling for a service, even if it’s something we REALLY need, is so hard.

People without anxiety don’t come to these thoughts naturally, because it’s not their life. They have a different idea of what’s normal. 

If you tell them in terms of what they have seen when they’re with you, it should at least plant the seed and get the ball rolling on acceptance. :)

And I think, if you develop better relationships with your family, you won’t need to try so hard, or feel that you can’t handle the rejection from new people you may meet. :)

I understand it’s easier said than done. It takes a certain amount of courage to do even that. I think you can do it though. I recently told all my family about my condition, and now, even if they don’t understand all the time what I’m doing, or why I avoid certain things, they have an IDEA of what could be causing it. 

They even ask me more questions about what would make me more comfortable when we spent time together. Before, I would never have dreamed about letting my guard down and letting these people know about my condition. 

But they were more understanding when they understood why I act certain ways. I think your family may come to the same place as mine has.

So firstly i would like to thank you because even though i am in anonymous you seemed like you actually cared and for that you're amazing! I know i wouldn't be prepared for rejection because i always depend on people so much and it's so hard for me to meet new people because of my anxiety so i get attatched really quickly, but i also know that i can't teach myself to be different from the way i am now, i feel like either way i always get hurt and tbh i just want someone to stay and love me..

I’m not trying to analyze your life, but I also have anxiety, and much of it stems from having an unstable childhood. I was moved from home to home, and my mom never really treated me like she loved me. My dad left when I was a baby, and I never really had friends until middle school. 

I think this fear of abandonment you have may come from something similar…I don’t know your story, but if you have had a lot of people leave you in your life, I can really understand your feelings on that. 

I got lucky, I got adopted by my grandparents and was given a stable enough life to have a chance at the end….But the damage is permanent. 

I can’t change either….I am married now to the man who was my best friend in high school We have been together (married and as friends) a total of 15ish years. We are happy, and EVERY SINGLE DAY, i have those thoughts.

I’m always scared one day he will pick up and leave. 

My point is…Even if you get your wish, your anxiety will still make you feel anxious. You know what I mean? To really get past it takes therapy. Maybe even medicine. I take medicine, but it can only do so much. It helps the symptoms, but not the source of the problem.

The source is your head/heart. Just having someone isn’t enough…I always am worried I’ll lose him cause i’m not good enough, or he will finally get sick of me or etc etc, all the thoughts that us people with anxiety and depression have…

I don’t want to say “tough, you gotta deal with it” cause that shit pisses me off when people say to someone. I want to say, maybe change your expectations of people, and it’ll help protect your heart. 

If you can barely control your own mind and feelings, you know you can’t control someone else’s. And hope is great, but it can also really hurt. Be an open person who accepts love, but try not to be the person looking for it everywhere. I think that will help you. 

I don’t really know if I can help with what you’re going through, but I am glad you’re talking about it, because that in itself can help you. :)
