It's generally pretty hard for people who've never experienced a mental health concern themselves to relate to someone who has or is going through it currently - my favourite book pretty much sums this up in a sentence:

"Every window on alcatraz has a view of San Fransico"

The only thing you can really do is try your best, and deal with things at your own pace - I think it's unfair of someone to expect YOU to explain yourself when you're a dark place, particularly when they're supposed to support you no matter what - I've been in this situation with my dad for the last year or so - he just doesn't understand that you can't just "get over it" - I tried using his hip operation as an example - that needed time to heal, and so does the mind (only it's a little more complex) - he still didn't get it

I really hope you have a better day tomorrow susan
