I had some trouble with my friends and family this year. My friends were kind of being mean by saying I’m slow mentally and when we have arguments I ignore them to stop my self from getting the situation worst and they get mad at me by yelling and saying I’m selfish. My family I guess fine but not the best I try to explain that I needed help with my panic attack getting worst but they think it being dramatic. And these thing make me feel not understood or that I’m being dramatic of thinking I need help.😕

You are not being dramatic. Your friends should not be saying stuff like that. It would be different if they said it as a joke (which is still not good if you’re uncomfortable) but saying it during arguments is awful and just a tactic to gain the upper hand. I’m also sorry about that, panic attacks are just as real as a physical affliction such as a burn, so you are not dramatic. I’m not a therapist but something that always helps me during a moment of panic is to listen to music that makes me happy. Trying to sing along to help my mind to think about something else
