I understand how you feel. I get the back burner feeling all the time and it makes me angry as I feel that I am always the after thought to everyone when I visibly have a problem. It isn't until I snap that they decide to confront me about it and then usually they become rude because I was (which makes me feel even more terrible).
It more so happens with my friends than my family as they have their separate problems as well and I am seen as the supportive one to them all. Except it seems no one turns around and lets me rant or tries to comfort me when I am down and sometimes I end up doubting my relationships. What's even worse is that I know they understand and they just continue to avoid me as if the problem will slowly fix itself and they can talk to me again when I look like I am better.
I am sorry to hear no one is reaching out or even trying to understand your problems. When we are upset, it truly seems like the world and all its people are against us. And sometimes they are. Is there anything you wish to discuss or get off your chest?
