Hello,

i can only assume that you had these feelings pent up inside for a long time, towards this family member who spoke badly about you. I've done the same thing in my past, and I'm not proud of it. I guess I let it linger and boil inside because I'm really slow with responding. It's almost like a delayed reaction.

Anyway, I digress. I think it was good that you confronted your family member. I am sorry that you feel ganged up upon, which is what it sounds like. However, it was very good that your mom called them, and the family members said it was okay, and that they understood. It sounds like they care very much about you. I can understand that you feel like people are judging you as crazy. But I don't see it that way. I think they understand.

It took me a long time for my anger and anxiety to go away. I was livid, just as you are. Maybe it might help you to remind yourself that you are in control of your own life now. As others have mentioned, please check with your PDoc, assess your medications and whether they are working or not, reflect upon whether your anxiety is tied to the upcoming move.

I do not want to patronize you, because you seem like a capable adult, despite the anxiety. But other suggestions that come to mind are..... get a massage asap, walk around a park and be around nature for just 20 minutes each day, write down 5 positive things each day to refocus your thoughts. I'm sorry I can't think of any more suggestions, but these have helped me in the past.
