hi Inspiredmomof5

I'm sorry that things are so difficult for you. Like you, I am inclined to be very sensitive also. And when people disagree with me. I do feel rejected. But I know the thing to do is to realize that it is what I say or do that. they are rejecting and not myself, and that they still love me. Perhaps doing this would help you also.
The thing is that people who have never suffered from depression don't know what it is like. There is stuff that can be downloaded from the Internet on how to support a loved one with depression and perhaps reading that would help your family members. You do need some really good medication and therapy to deal with your depression.
But you do have to go on . doing otherwise would absolutely ruin the lives of your loved ones and you don't want to do that. Do try to keep your mind busy doing especially enjoyable things to take the focus away from bad feelings. You are very strong. Because you are keeping going. despite all of these difficulties, and you should give yourself the credit for that. I hope and pray you feel much better soon. God bless and best wishes from your friend Francis
