Hello sleestak, it's nice to meet you, welcome to psych central.
I know it can be difficult with unsupportive family members, just try to remember that if someone hasn't had any experience with anxiety and phobias that it is hard for them to understand what you are going through.
Try to be patient with yourself, progress has it's ups and downs and sometimes things will be more difficult, just keep trying.
If you have any questions feel free to private message any community liaison or moderator, here is a link to a list of forum leaders.
