Scared of My Anxiety

...See more Recently, after a few years of tension, in my family I've finally had a positive conversation with my parents to move past our conflicts. While everything isn't perfect we're all trying to be more open and positive around each other. But I feel like a bad person because I'm taking a weekend trip and I wasn't honest about the reasons I'm taking it. I told them it was for a friends birthday and that others were coming as well but really it's to visit my boyfriend who they don't know about. They don't really believe what I was telling them but we are all in a place where we don't want to tip the balance. I can't stop this tightening in my chest because I'm afraid somehow they're going to find out I lied and everything is going to be ruined and it'll be all my fault. I don't know what to do to fight the anxiety and naseua because I want to enjoy my trip but I'm so scared to.

Stuck in guilt and shame

...See more My family has been a trigger for my depression and anxiety for a few years now. We had a huge disagreement two years ago and we haven't been able to communicate the same ever since. I know that my parents love me and that they want what's best for me but at the same time I wish I had more freedom than than I have. To them, they feel like they've given me everything and all the freedom I could want and that if they're ever hard on me it's because they want the best for me. I feel guilty for being depressed and like a bad daughter for resenting my family after one fight. I don't know who's right in this situation and if I deserve to be upset or if I shouldn't feel this way. I'm so anxious that I'm getting sick and I just feel so stuck and hopeless and I don't know what to do.

Slipping

...See more I've been feeling better lately because my medication has been working. But being back home from school has been testing my mood. I feel myself slipping backwards into old anxieties and depressive thoughts and don't know what to do. I feel like I'm clinging on to the feeling of being okay and that's just fueling my anxiety. I have two more months until I can go back to school and I'm scared of losing all the progress I've made so far. What can you do when you feel like you're slipping?

Unable to get medication

...See more Hi I'm in a sticky situation regarding my medicine. I usually see a psychiatrist at my university counseling center under my school insurance but I can't see her over the summer. My prescription is going to run out soon and I'm not sure where to go to get a new prescription. My parents don't know that I've been on medication and I'm under their insurance plan so I need to be careful about what I do at home. I'm not sure If I can afford to pay out of pocket either. Has anyone had experience with this?
