The stigma for anxiety is real! I can't believe that family members would blatantly ignore it, especially if it's causing physical discomfort.
I don't think I will ever want to take medication for it, unless it is severely interfering with my lifestyle (i.e. my social anxiety gets so bad that I don't leave my room/bed for months) which has thankfully never happened!
I can understand sounding crazy, especially when I'm explaining the feeling of a hand being over my mouth. the usual response is, "so what, you think ghosts are trying to murder you?" which does nothing but make me not want to mention it to anyone anymore. I have an overactive amygdala, I'm not delusional.
