Had enough
7 Cups Online Therapy / by mysticowl79

 October 3rd, 2025
...See more Had enough tried to be helpful, and it come back in my face. I was trying to help my mum with a issue she was having with her iPad, while I was still reading what I had to do she was asking me questions which I was not answering, I am a slow reader and I mumble when I read as I am dyslexic it is the only way I ensure I understand instructions and questions. Well she stormed off as she assumed I was ignoring her and I got mad. Once I had calmed down I let her know what a was said in the chat I had with someone and she thinks I am lying. Tomorrow is her birthday and I really think she would prefer if I was not about and my sister was her instead.

...See more Struggling in a big way, while on holiday with family. Not able to go anywhere or do anything without a million questions unless doing it with the whole family. Only place to hide is bedroom with them coming and asking am I okay, doi want anything etc. trying to be helpful but get head snapped off. If I say anything I get comments of you’re fine, we can do our own thing, the problem is I don’t know what I want to do or eat, but I have to know and do what everyone else is doing. Got to keep the other family happy, don’t worry about yourself.

Returning to work

...See more Okay so I have been off work due to a family bereavement, trying to be supportive to my mum and sister but I ask when she is struggling with paperwork if she needs help and get my head snapped off, then she is pushing me to return to work. Plus I am not ready to go to work quite happy hiding at home away from everyone fussing over me. Now I am thinking I need to go to work as my mum and sister do not want me around when we go off to do things they chat and leave me out of conversations not sure if I am being daft.

Grieving and anxious
Grief & Loss / by mysticowl79

...See more Hi everyone, first time posting never sure what to post, usually find a post that is similar to what I want to post and feel better after reading it and all the comments. This one I felt I needed to post as it might just be what I need. over the last week my dad passed away. I was the one who had to take the phone call from the hospital and tell the rest of my family. It was tough, I collapsed in our hallway and just sobbed. My immediate reaction was pull yourself together Dad will not want this, I have taken time of work however know that he would not be happy with me for taking the time off. Every so often when I am alone like in the car I start having panic attacks and feel anxious about going out and doing things, things I have always done even when he was at home. Does anyone have any advice??
