Is anyone else surrounded by people who don’t take their diagnosis seriously? I’m sixteen and my parents only cared when the attacks first started happening. Now they get annoyed with me whenever I have one. I often end up curled up on the floor sobbing and they either get annoyed or think it’s funny, or they just ignore me all together and step over me. My dad often starts nudging me in the back with his foot because he thinks the fact that I’m being “over dramatic and worrying over nothing” is funny. My older sister has also outright told me it’s annoying and that I “look so fucking stupid” when I have panic attacks.

Every time I begin to come down from a panic attack I let out these weird, harsh exhales through my nose that feels almost like nervous laughter that I can’t control. Feels weird as hell when it happens. Just wanna know if anyone else experiences this.
