I dont understand..

Hey, I just wanted to come on here because I really dont know what to do anymore. I recently started working but ive stopped because its really hard to get up and get out the door due to my anxiety. I dont really know how to explain my anxiety, but its gotten to the point where my anxiety makes me physically sick. My parents keep telling me I'm a disappointment because apparently I'm f****** up my life along with theirs. I get that they just want the best for me but I cant help it, my anxiety just makes me feel like absolute s*** and I just really dont know what to do, ive tried working, I really have but I just cant anymore.

Hello TheAnxiousTinyHuman, people who have suffered from anxiety know exactly what you are saying and would totally agree with what you've said and parents who expect so much from their children need to look at the situation you are in and not necessarily what they want.

Your anxiety tends to control how you feel and then determine what you can and can't do during the day.

Parents need to take responsibility not only from what they say but also how they treat you, because any adverse comments only make you feel worse.

This time of year makes it very difficult for you to see a psych but if you can document exactly what's happening will make it easier when you are able to speak to them, and even if you feel better, don't forget to still show them what you have written down, only because it may happen again in other circumstances.

You are not a disappointment at all, only need help.
