> because we all screw up. It's human nature, bro. I can totally relate to your parents not believing you. My mother still doesn't believe I have social anxiety disorder, despite having been diagnosed and treated by 5(!) different doctors since I was 18 years old. I'm 22 now, and only about 2 months ago after hospitilization did my grandparents finally admit that I have a serious anxiety problem. I think your parents are ignorant on the matter of mental health, but in time and with patience, you can convince them of your problems. I really feel for you, I just went through such a similar experience.>
Thanks Justin and Merry, your posts have cheered me up!
It is very frustrating living with my parents, as their both very ignorent about mental health. Things were better at collage were I was more my own man.
I'm also living in the UK which makes things more difficult because mental health treatment here is so bad, sorry if I sound whiney!If you don't mind me asking Justin what treatments for social anxiety would you recomend?
