Does your family/parents believe that you have DP/DR and that it's not some made up thing? And please, if you want, write their reactions.

Mine,

Parents: Don't believe, think I made it up, thinks it will go away after the holiday stress.

Husband: Don't believe, thinks I just want attention, wants me to "snap out" of it.

my family don't doubt me. it was hard for me to tell them as i knew it would hurt and worry them. they know i wouldn't put them through that without good reason

my family believe me 100%.....my mum had bouts of it 30 years ago and the rest can tell i really arent myself..

my partner believes me as well...admittedly when i first started avoiding things he thought i was been a lazy bitch until i started with major panic attacks.......now hes really supportive.....does most of the stuff for the kids and lets me do what i feel up to doing without pushing me to do more

my mum knows there is something wrong so she believes me. my dad however thinks i am just depressed and that he knows exactly what i need to feel better - he just cant get it despite the fact that my sister and i told him its a real disorder
