Daddy Issues

...See more So today, my dad brought up a really hard topic for me to talk about, one that I'm not sure if he knows triggers my anxiety. He wouldn't stop talking about it and then got really defensive when I tried to lead the conversation to my perspective. I could tell I hurt him with my comments, but I also was hurting a lot myself. This has happened a lot before... After part of that conversation was over, and I was done with what I was doing at the time, I went and hid in my room and cried for a while... I felt completely powerless and later had a panicked attack just thinking about rediscussing the conversation, or even talking about what went down between us. It seems like our brains are wired completely different and we can't even have an intellectual conversation without everything blowing up like this. My trust has already been broken so many times there... I love my dad, but this problem is just so hard, you know? Does anybody else have bad dad issues like this? Please tell me I'm not the only one.
This sounds like a middle school problem.

...See more I told my serious crush that I liked him. He didn't really shut me down, nor did he say he liked me too. I just don't know what I feel except that there's a bunch of warning signs going off in my body that are making me and my anxiety go haywire. I don't know what to do... I don't know what I'm doing... he probably doesn't like me. But gosh, I hope he does. All I want to happen is for me to get an answer... good or bad, at least there would be an answer. God, I'm such an idiot. I shouldn't have told him... I can't let this ruin a perfectly good friendship. I've done that enough on my own already. And he was the best guy... I'm so stupid for doing this. Warning signs are going off and I just blew them up. And now my anxiety about this is worse.
