Telling Parents
I have anxiety and panic attacks and it was just mild. Recently it has been getting worse so I feel like I should tell my parents but I don't know how. I don't think they really know much about it so I don't know how to tell them.
Telling your parents may seem hard but I would hope they would be supportive and helpful. It is probably the case where they may have noticed differences in your behavior anyway but are waiting for you to talk with them. You could always just talk with them about it. People usually feel more comfortable talking about something while they are doing an activity but this is not necessary.It might also help tohave some printed materialsabout panic attacks so they can read and understand how to cope with them when they happen. Having information is always helpful and it makes people feel comfortable as well. Just make sure you use a reputable site when getting your information. I wish you the best and if you ever want to chat, please leave me a message and we can talk about this some more. Good luck. I hope this helps a little.
Thank you that was really helpful. I will plan out some stuff and wait until its just me and them and then sit down and explain it to them.
Two years ago I told my parents how I was feeling, and they tried to help me so hard even they didn't know anything about my problems. They talked with my teachers, they made me go to therapy... If you are bad, the best thing you can do is ask for help, and you have to allow them to give you help. I know it's hard, for me is impossible to accept help, but you can, I know. You are strong enought, sure. Good luck.
Thank you. I will do it.
