I'm 17. The sadness and pain has been a prominent factor for as long as I can remember, but i never said a word and kept it to myself. I've struggled with anxiety for a few years now, but recently everything has been accumulating and getting worse. There's nothing too specific that is occurring right now, other than the fact that I've been thinking a lot more about things that have occurred in the past and things that might happen in the future. My father has been emotionally distant my whole life and i've been fearing that in the near future he will cut off all communication with me as he did with my other two sisters (older). I've suffered a lot of verbal abuse from my mother who would call me "useless", "stupid", "worthless", and tell me she didn't love me at times.
