To begin with they didn't understand what I had to be depressed about.... my life was good I was young and I had a job and money and a roof over my head. Then I was diagnosed with Bipolar and they were like this is so you look at the symptoms. I wanted my parents to take charge of me if I became too ill to look after myself and my Mum said she didn't want to take that charge as she would need to know everything about my illness. She/they do not want to hear about the "bad" stuff (suicidal thinking/self harming etc)....... I felt rejected like massively rejected. Needless to say we had a huge fight and ever since then I do not talk about my MH with any of my family including my Twin Sister. It's hard when they don't want to know. But then now a days my Mum acts like she wants to know but I know deep down she would rather I didn't share things with her. I keep them all at a distance in regards to my MH
