Very sorry you dont have the support of your family ..It certainly doesnt make things any easier ..

For myself ... My husband absolutly refused that I had a real illness he just thought i was lazy and being a Bi*** .. well back in sept I walked in my T's office and told him I needed to be a inpatient i was very suicidal ,, My husband had driven me that day ( because i drove off the road earlier in the year due to lack of sleep and hallcinations and didnt trust me to drive ( he was more worrried about the car ) anyway my Therapist went out in the parking lot and asked my husband to come in .. My Therapist explained to my husband in a very blunt straight forward way that I indeed have a serious medical condition no differant than heart diease or diabetes for instance ,, My husband broke down in tears he was clueless until he heard it from my T .. My husband and I have come from the brink of divorce to a much much better understanding of me him and my illness ,, Its not always easy but he now has knowledge As others suggested maybe have your family go to one of your sessions ?

Its always a sad thing when we cant get the support we need from our on loved ones .. But we cant let there issues with your illness get in the way of you feeling better .

Good luck and welcome to PC ! I hope you get lots of Love and support here ,,I know I have gotten TONSSSSSSSSSSS of it here its a great place to be
Thanks for this!
