So glad you found a place to reach out to! How awful to be so misunderstood by your family. Life can be very easy when you live in a black-and-white world - it takes a lot of effort to think past socialized boundaries, and your family just doesn't seem to be up to the task.

I saw this post and thought of you: http://newbuddhist.com/discussion/84...ed-in-buddhism
So many principles from the Buddhist philosophy that I think may help you as you walk your own path. I say "philosophy", not "religion" . . . Buddhist principles focus on one's true Self, learning tolerance and acceptance, focus on personal/spiritual growth . . . exactly what a depressed person needs . . . it's just with the Buddhist label. Perhaps there are some Buddhist centers or practitioners near you that you can reach out to.

Since psychiatrists are not very helpful in your region, you might want to peruse YouTube - there are SO many talks by professionals of all types . . . perhaps you can find some support that way.

Wishing you well!
Thanks for this!
