hi all, AIBU for feeling like i want to scream?
I struggle with anxiety and come from a very private, small family. OH family incredibly close knit, family group chats and updates on every little inconvenience in their lives 24/7, every evening is spent together etc.
Recently, i am struggling massively, they are all really lovely and helpful and im not trying to bash them, but I can't take it. As they are all very up-front and big personalities, they scare me... I can't deal with the 'banter' and explosive episodes that i am sometimes in the middle of, the kind of people that will pick up on anything you say that they dont agree with, and they will debate with you. OH is understanding of this as he knows how i am so he doesn't push me to get involved but I really don't know how much longer i can cope with it - i feel like im suffocating sometimes?? maybe i take some comments to heart too much but as someone struggling with MH, i feel they should try be a bit more understanding of this. ive only lived with the in-laws for about 2 months so maybe its just me adjusting but I'm worried i wont stop feeling like this.
Anyone else have any similar stories that might make me feel a bit less alone in this?
thanks!
