does anyone else feel like their family is emotionally sort of distant in a way... i feel like my parents don't sympathize with/feel concern for me when i am stressed, ill, unwell. last december i passed out during finals week in my school cafeteria, like the fire department was called and everything, i woke up on the floor confused, and my mom just said,"oh well, one time i passed out because i felt sick!" and didn't seem to think that this was a sign of anything particularly bad. other people were looking at me like there was serious concern. she also doesn't seem to think its a concern at all when i lose my period for weeks out of stress or not eating enough. she just says, well, lots of women get their period late sometimes. why doesn't she understand that im stressed? the worst is that when i tell her im stressed, im upset, she just says, well i am too.
