Hi @Crystal_Vibes
It sounds like you are going through a challenging time at the moment and I commend you for sharing. The impact of chronic illness, anxiety and depression can be overwhelming with added stressors like noise and difficulty communicating with your family. Your feelings are completely valid but I understand that talking to your family about this can be daunting.
Expressing what you need and what you are feeling is definitely not a reflection of being a “horrible person”. You are only advocating for yourself and seeking the support that you deserve. Being honest about how you are feeling could help your family understand your perspective.
You mentioned that you recently started SSRI medication and are concerned about your physical health. If you feel you can, make sure you keep your healthcare provider informed. They may be able to adjust your treatment plan accordingly and offer guidance.
Remember to prioritise self-care even if this means small steps or asking help from others. You have already shown incredible resilience by reaching out. Take care of yourself 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻
