Oh, wanted to add. I don't know if this will make you feel a little better, but while I was in college I lived at home, and I told my mom I was depressed, and she didn't take me seriously either. Just said I wasn't like that "before". It would have been nice if she had taken me seriously and gotten me into therapy. It would have prevented a lot of the hardships I went through in my twenties I think.

It's too bad when family members don't take us seriously. I REALLY could have benefited from therapy at that time in my life.
