I have never had a relationship with my mother. I get terrible anxiety whenever I need to speak to her and today she admitted that she has no interest in trying to communicate. Instead she threatened to demolish my room and never let me meet up with my friends (because I'd been sick and I went for a walk outside). I have to add that I'm turning 18 in a few months, I've always been on top of my class and never caused any trouble. I know I'm not perfect, but I try my best to not be a burden, I really don't think I'm a horrible daughter. How do I manage my panic attacks, when I'm trapped in this situation? How do I not let the stress of being around her get to me?

Hello mrtw: Thank you for bringing your concern here to PC. I see this is your first post. Welcome to Psych Central. One additional forum, here on PC, that may be of interest to you would be the Relationships & Communication forum. Here's a link:

https://psychcentralforums.com/relat...communication/

And then here are links to 11 articles from Psych Central's archives. The first 6 deal with the subject of toxic & narcissistic parents. The next 3 offer suggestions for coping with panic attacks. And the last 2 discuss breathing techniques one can use to reduce stress:

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
