    I'm really sorry that you're feeling dismissed by your mum @Katiedimelow20. Would there be anyone else you could talk to about it?

    Or is there anyone who could help you talk to your mum about how you're feeling? Someone you trust, like another family member or friend. Perhaps you could tell them what's happening and they might be able to help you talk to your mum in a calm way.

    Have you spoken to your GP about how you're feeling and about the possible panic attacks? They might be able to offer you some help or put you on a list for mental health support too.

    Hope things get easier soon 💛

    It sounds like you're trying really hard to get her to understand @Katiedimelow20, that must be frustrating.

    Next time you go to the doctors, could you ask to go in on your own if you don't feel comfortable with your mum there? Or could one of your sisters come with you instead of your mum?

    my sisters don't live with me anymore they got they own places . might as well find some else that maybe more helpful then my mum . i had been watching them and my mum seem to treated them better . both i got older sister and younger sisters . they didn't help with isuse with my mum . i did talk both about anxiety and panic attack . i did show my yongest sister my notes on app called mood press to show what date and day when i did have a panic attack and my mum came in my bedroom and just shut out my name . i also did put that in about my mum thinking i was faking a panic attack .

    I'm really sorry to hear that @Katiedimelow20, that all sounds really hard. What did your mum do with your jobs, did she cancel them?

    Really sorry to read things aren't improving @Katiedimelow20. Have you thought about looking for somewhere else to live or stay for a little while to give you a bit of space?

    @Holly_Scope I'm not sure because people in public setting in like work some people can't really understand me when I'm chatting or talking and what I'm trying to say . struggling with spelling and cooking food.

    Could you perhaps stay with one of your sisters for a little while if things are a bit better there? If you did want to look into another living arrangement there are support options available. Do you receive any outside help at the moment or is it mainly Mum?
