Hello. I do have family, but they feel mental illness is something you can "get over" and will "go away on its own". But for me, since I don't have support at home I try to get support at school. Some school days are better than others in terms of support. But since I don't have support at home, it adds to my stress. Instead of having support, I feel I need to hide things from my family in order to feel safe but this adds to stress too. For me, I wish I had a more supportive family.
