Dilemma..

Brianna

Hey girls, I’m in a dilemma and I need advice. So, I’m 20 and unemployed. I think the main reason for my unemployment is due to severe anxiety. Now to the difficult part.. My mom acts weird when I want advice or speak about it, she acts as if she doesn’t want to talk about it. I explained that my anxiety is pretty bad and that’s why I’m afraid to work. She replied “Well.. If you had a job, you’d be a lot better.” I see where she’s coming from, but it’s the fact that I clearly told her why the thought of working is daunting to me. I got emotional and my eyes were filling up as we were talking so I turned away. She got really defensive about this. It’s funny to me because if my brother was struggling with something, she’s pretty nice about it. Her mood just flips when I talk about my mental health to her, What do I do about this?
