Lately, I've been really feeling stressed out and after a lot of thinking, I have realized that it is my family that is causing it. They are trying to help me get over my anxiety problems, but in reality they are just making them worse.
How can I tell that that without making them feel like I am attacking them?How can I say this without offending anybody?Politely thank them for their concern but you really need some time to yourself. Family can be your best support group, especially if they are positive.
However, I'm more concerned about your attacks, you see,
I was an anxiety / panic attack sufferer for eleven years. Mine had gotten so bad, I didn't want to venture too far away from home or my husband. I was on Xanax the entire time. I am living proof that Cognitive-Behavioral technique works. Because of this technique, I have been off Xanax now going on eight years. I NEVER thought I would be able to get off the stuff. The Cognitive-Behavioral technique is basically re-training your brain as well as teaching you skills where when you feel an anxiety attack coming on you will not react in fear. That's a VERY high overview. I saw results within a few days. I haven't looked back and I am now living life to the fullest without fear of having one of those debilitating and embarrassing attacks.

I get panic attacks too, but they're not that bad. But I live with large family and I can understand them being the factor. They're your family and everything they are trying to do is just to help. So tell them calmly and respectfully that the only way you really need them to help is just to give you some space for now. If you really need any help other that you'll let them know. But for now, it's just causing you more stress. I'm sure they'll understand. I hope this helps.How can I say this without offending anybody?It sounds like your family loves you and has your best interest in mind. Sit down with them and tell them that you really appreciate all the help but when they help you it only makes you feel worst. That the best thing they can do is be there for you how you need them to be there, and if that means just be in the back round for a while then that's what they should do, for your best interest.How can I say this without offending anybody?
Just say that your feeling stressed and you would like to be alone for a litttle. Then they will say "sure" and you relax for as long as you need, and if they bug you still, just yell "GO AWAY!!!" Thats what i do to my (older) sister. =DHow can I say this without offending anybody?you will have to be more specific with them than you are here.....
if you have a problem with something, you need to address the problem not say "i have this feeling" about something.
