Hello and welcome to PC... Firstly are you self diagnosed or have you consulted a professional? If you havent, then your first priority should be to get a expert opinion... Your doctor can point you in the right direction... Once a professional has diagnosed you, it will he easier for your family to accept that you need more help than just willpower... it has taken me 31 years to get any help, cos of a similar situation to yours... the pressure of family members making it out to be nothing serious... but i regret not getting help earlier as my condition just got worse...

You have to look out for yourself... but in the right way... seek professional help and get your family on your side... it is hard for everyone in the beginning but eventually it all falls in place and everybody accepts and helps... i wish you all the best and hope you get help from everyone...

Lets shed our final tear,
I wish you all Happy New Year...
