Anxiety and unemployment

Ok I was just speaking on msn with 2 people I met on a chat room, they have anxiety like me so I added them to msn. When I came back upstairs I realised that they had been talking about their parents reactions to it as they live at home and most people would probably say they need a life.

Anyway I have anxiety myself and when it comes to not being able to work etc I don't know where to draw the line in regards to where I should stand? I just want to post part of the conversation so you know what im talking about lol, but who do you think is right? G is a 24 year old unemployed male and 'bored as hell' is a 21 year old unemployed female. Do you think G is right or bored as hells father or what?

Here is part of the convo:

hiiiii bored as hell says:

and u

G says:
heh, meaning nothing much?

hiiiii bored as hell says:
yeh

G says:
didn't get up til 6pm...very late night

hiiiii bored as hell says:
omg

G says:
just been shopping with my mom

G says:
watched a few things i downloaded

hiiiii bored as hell says:
does she not say anythin abou u gettin up late

hiiiii bored as hell says:
mine does

G says:
nah, she's just happy i wake up

hiiiii bored as hell says:
haha

hiiiii bored as hell says:
seriously for the last 3 years my parents have been yelling at me cause i get up late and i didn't have a job for 4 months

G says:
takes time to settle yourself, especially when you've had mental health issues

G says:
no quick fix

hiiiii bored as hell says:
they say that any other parents if their daughters behaved like this they would chuck them out

G says:
those would be bad parents

hiiiii bored as hell says:
my dad says that people at his work tell him to throw me out

G says:
heh

G says:
i think those might just be little threats

hiiiii bored as hell says:
no i can imagine them saying it

hiiiii bored as hell says:
he probably says 'she does absolutely nothing shes up all night and the internet and just lies in bed all day'

hiiiii bored as hell says:
and he hates people asking about me as hes embarrased at what to tell them

G says:
nah, if he's embarassed about his own daughter, then i'm sorry to say this but he's a bad dad

hiiiii bored as hell says:
hes embarrased about the fact that i do nothing

G says:
thats no reason to be embarassed

G says:
millions of people do nothing

hiiiii bored as hell says:
my dad calls them lazy bastards cause he has worked full time since he was 14 lol

G says:
well, when your dad started to work there where lots of jobs....now theres not

hiiiii bored as hell says:
probably but im surprised ur emum sounds nothing like my parents
hiiiii bored as hell says:
ur mum

G says:
oh no, she bitches at me all the time (usually when drunk), but she understands i'm going through a tough time and is supportive rather than always negative

hiiiii bored as hell says:
i say to my dad that i panic etc and im going through a bad phase and he says 'a bad phase lying in bloody bed all day'

hiiiii bored as hell says:
my mum was negative like my dad but shes nice now she says she has washed her hands of me lol

G says:
don't forget, back when he was growing up mental illness was usually laughed at, he's probably still stuck with that mindset

hiiiii bored as hell says:
he is

hiiiii bored as hell says:
hes an idiot really

hiiiii bored as hell says:
he doesn't think its fair that hes had to work all his life and some people dont

G says:
we all work....just because we don't all get paid doesn't make us any less of a person

G says:
hell, for people like me, just going outside takes more effort and determination that a year of your dads job

hiiiii bored as hell says:
hed laugh at that

G says:
thats because he doesnt understand it

hiiiii bored as hell says:
i don't know what to think as i agree with my mum..that i should be making something of myself and she knows that i have anxiety but at the same time i feel really lazy and guilty

Erm kind of long post it is ridiculous to expect your parents to support you and getting up at 6pm is clearly disrespectful thats where I stand.

What makes you think they are taking the piss? Which one has the most sensible point of view?

This thread was made for me it seems.

I suffer rather badly from anxiety, and I am currently unemployed.

[Infact, OP, if you PM me I would like to talk to you and your friends on msn if that's possible??]

I think it's disrespectful posting their conversation on msn here.

I think the dad is wrong, mental illness is in my opinion a very subjective thing though so its hard to say whos wrong and whos right. I'v started to get anxiety in the last year, its not too bad yet tho, I am late for school by about 1hour everyday though, I just hope it goes away at uni, also I find it really hard to speak to girls because of it, hopefully it won't get any worse. I think that with problems like these if you make it known to everyone, it'll just make you feel more sorry for yourself, like your worthless ect, which may make the anxiey worse. e.g= what is everyones opinion of me now :ninja2:
