Question by hey 😉: Mom doesn’t listen me when I talk to her about anxiety?
I know for a fact I have anxiety but until recently I didn’t what I had was. I tried to talk to my mom ’bout it but she just says, oh its just a phase, or, I think you have a very mild case. Well, it’s more than mild and I tried to tell her that but she just blows me off. I can tell she also thinks that I just want the pills so that I can “abuse” them..but that couldn’t be any farther from the truth. I think the reason she thinks that I want them for recreational use is because she caught me smoking marijuana recently and now she thinks i’m a druggie! I just want to cure this because I think I would be A LOT happier if I had this under control. How can I get my mom to listen to me about this because now she just thinks I want pills to get high. It makes me sad that she can’t trust me.
And also, therapy does not help so that would not be an option.

perhaps telling her that anti-anxiety pills do not make a person “high” or hearing it from a doctor may help. if you dont control your anxiety you may develop depression. i do not know what type of anxiety you have, when i was 21 i suffered health anxiety myself, im now in my final months of med school and fine now, i controlled mine with lexotan 1.5mg they are gentle relaxers and do not altar the mind in any way they just relax muscles and relieve tension. other than that i find it very unusual that she wont listen to her own child about a potentially life altaring condition. read up on anxiety and try to talk to her again. or visit a doctor and ask him for relaxers
