No one has the right to do or say anything that makes you feel uncomfortable. I can hear some of the things your dad has said have contributed to how you are currently feeling.
What, if anything, do you think might help make this feel more manageable for you? We are here for you if you would like to share more with us
I know you said you feel bad about not using the relaxation techniques that have been suggested. Perhaps the best way might be to start small and use them when you can and build your way up until it becomes a habit to use them when in a negative mind-space. It is also important to recognise that different people will work differently to various techniques, it is all about finding one that works for you. So like Laura said, try and have a think about what you think you could do to make the situation more manageable and try giving it a go.
Just remember we are here to listen to you if you need to talk about this anymore or if similar happens again in the future, so please reach out to us on a board or something.
Sending lots of hugs to you
Sinead
