I know how you feel- my family isn't there for me, either.....they simply don't understand....it's the nature of mental illness..there is such a stigma attached to it, and people have a fear of the unknown, at least this is how I have learned to explain other's misunderstandings to me, this has been a life long illness for me, I, too, get tired of the fight....sometimes I come here to PC and just be me, reaching out to others, writing poems of how I feel, describing what's in my heart to those that have been there and are with me, even if it's through cyberspace...

I encourage you to stick with PC, I feel deeply for you...perhaps instead of fighting, do something relaxing..

Can you write more about how things got to be this way? Perhaps someone at this site will be able to help even more HUGS
