mental stress from living situation amplifying symptoms

Im in a horrible stressful living situation which includes elderley parents and mentall ill siblings . one is a 55 year old mentally ill verbally abusive sibling . My symptoms amplfy severe when dealing with them especially the mentally ill abusive person . I have no where else to go cause of this horrible illness , my POTS symptoms have worsened horribly , after an altercation with this person i felt as if i was going to have a heart attack or faint , now a few hours later i still feel awful . Can this type of stress and anxiety prevent POTS from improving?

mental abuse

since coming down with POTS /dysautonomia a year and a half ago my life has crumbled even though it wasnt great before it is really at the lowest point , i had to move back with parents , i feel they use this almost as a form of mental abuse . My mother is just horrible her true colors came out , instead of supporting me she has been tearing me apart , today was the final straw , i had an appointment at an ob/gyn because when i got a ct abdominal scan for horrific abdominal pain along with pots , it showed one ovary was very enlarged abnormally for my age , i had to cancel due to feeling absolutely horribly sick today , its 100 degrees and i knew i wouldnt make it threw the dr visit , she tore me apart , said im not doing naything to get better ??? i have been to so many drs and gotten so many tests and am on meds there is no cure what does she expect me to do ? i feel people use this to take out their own anger on me. she then called my father to complain and he called me (all while im in a horrific flair with palpitations dizzyness and feeling faint) he said why not find a husband and move out or get ur own place ? i explained for the 100th time i cant work right now i cant afford it im sick as a dog
