I Have Had a Panic Attack

Because I try to blog as much as possible about my journey on here...

30 minutes ago I just had a panic attack in front of my family. It was over something immature as my eldest brother started talking very rudely to my father which I couldn't see. Then randomly started to verbally abuse me. He told me how I'm worthless and how I will never become a lawyer.

I just burst out crying and I was breathless as I was struggling to stop crying. I started sweating ( which my brother and eldest sister started laughing at, they're are in their late 20's). My brother also told me to stop 'faking it' and 'how will I never become sucessful if I can't handle this'. He mentioned how I never study (which I do) and never help around the house (which I also do). He also mentioned how I'm unemployed so I have no right to talk in this house. I have anxiety. I can't even think about working in public.. It's the fact someone telling you that you're worthless all the time, it hurts.

On top of everything that I am going through, bringing someone down more especially if it is coming from a family member makes you feel torn apart.
I've calmed down now, it took me about 15 minutes to start breathing properly again. My eldest sister came to me and said ' you need help, you're ridiculously insane'. Then starts laughing.

Living in a household where mental health is brushed under the carpet and putting people down is a difficult environment to cope with.

I haven't visited my GP regarding my mental health. I feel anxious going. However, after today, I believe I must go tomorrow. Or talk to a mental health charity on the phone.

I feel so worn out. I've not been attending my classes all week nor do i intend to go tomorrow.

oh, just in case, it's chemistry also, do not forget that.

(many have had good assistance because they're looking into both the mental and physical.)

also, to boot, genetics plays a huge role.
