Well the sad fact is some people are never going to get it and don't know how to help even family. If they really want to help and don't just want you better for selfish reasons then maybe they will listen to you. It is hard to tell people what we need but a good start is trying to figure out what we do need.

Sounds like maybe you will have to find a support network outside you family. Its hard and takes time but they are out there. So often I will just tell someone I suffer from depression and they will say hey I do to. If I didn't mention it I would have never known. There are many of us out there.
