Well remember, this is just a forum and misses several 'human' quotients. It lacks the subtleties of communcating offline.

As for the offline people around you, what is putting them off or causing their lack of understanding? Can you take people to your Psychiatrist appointments? Are there support groups for support people they can attend? Can you sit down with them and have a discussion about expectations - both ways - and what support looks like. Is there room for compromize - on both sides? Is there a support group you can attend?
