Sometimes trying to get family to understand can take away the little energy you have and can even create more anxiety and depression. That was my case with my family.
I remember my mom would keep saying "you'd better get up get such and such done. You'd better this, you'd better that. As if it's so easy to get things done when you can't even get out of bed to take a shower. At some point I just realized that they didn't understand and I couldn't spend what little energy I had trying to get them to understand.
Luckily, I was in school and had access to free therapy. I just concentrated on working on myself and would just give vague answers to family members so I didn't keep getting advice that didn't help.
coming here is a great first step to finding people who understand what you're going through. WElcome!
