I tried to bring up the fact that I've been feeling pretty awful to my parents. I started with what I see as the least of my current problems, the fact that I'm getting panicky really easily and shaking/breathing quickly when I do panic, and Dad reacted the way I thought he would, brushing it off and telling me I wasn't feeling the way I'm feeling. I knew that I just shouldn't have said anything.
Keep at it, don't give up. Context-wise, maybe the 'least' of it is something he already has an impression on, so that affects his response; move from how that progresses into the problems you've got--suggestably, do it with support, or talk to other family members. A key point is seeking aid with these circumstances, as well as communicating your point in a way for the receiver to understand; if you think you're being brushed off, you can mention that you're explaining these things to show that how they're responding isn't helping you much.
Saying nothing however, may keep you from knowing what'll even happen if you did.
Not even touching how I've repeatedly stood up for innocent until proven guilty, it's different with a drug habit.[...]

Totally reminds me of one of the big things (*drugs) being reported about my country right now. It's coming off as a big surprise for most people in seeing the widespread rate of drug usage--I've been into the news a lot lately, and one of the respected columnist writers detailed it well; a fairly subtle problem being widespread, until when being dealt with, will show itself as a whole instead of by-parts.
Makes me really sad how many people are being affected by it (surfacing in how far and deep it goes), but that continues from years ago--*really* hoping the current administration aims to confront the roots; aim for the demand, rather than the supply, and reinforce behavior and attitude.
yeah and they tried the alternative but then absolutely nothing fucking changed
why do you think theyre doing this. this isnt their plan a
I think you're underestimating the power of tea parties and sternly worded leaflets
* Tiruin bops everytime people say 'nothing'. Them words can be used a lot better than pushing away the parts of progress unseen or regarded as minor, because the result doesn't match the expected outcome.
In a way as an aside, it's going to affect one's own perception how those are being used. Usually always better to examine the process than criticize the result alone. ._.
