Brokenfriend, It is ok to talk about it. That is part of the healing process. I think something I have realized in therapy and family therapy is that you can't change others or make them understand. You can use your voice and tell them how you feel hurt or what you need though even if they don't listen. I have lost many family/friends due to my issues and even now with my pn/rsd I have that. My mom though has stuck by me through it all. So I try to focus on the supports I do have. Also you can build a family so to speak through friends. I know some of my close friends are from my treatments. That is why I encourage in person support groups. Have you looked into that?
My pain rsd/pn is in my legs inner ankle/foot/calf. I am a little confused or do you mean my anxiety feeling? I get this jittery nervous and breathing issue. A lot of my ocd and ed stemmed from anxiety.
Just remember that through the hard times you have had better. That helps me get through the hard ones.
