Sometimes I feel similar to you. mostly I think I waited too long and let things get out of control before finally accepting the help I obviously need. If people don't need help, they shouldn't seek it and waste resources....but if they do they should get the help and their family and support system should treat them fairly and with encouragement. It's brave to seek help....nobody wants to admit their weakness or be seen as irreparably damaged and it's not fair for loved ones and friends to treat you as such. Sometimes I feel my family is ganging up on me but it's distorted thinking....they love me and just want to see me well. Sometimes they think the pills should make all my symptoms go away in a hour but it doesn't work that way. They only worry and want to see me succeed. They get frustrated and don't get it. I have it and don't get it so I cut them some slack as long as I'm not actively delusional. Just because I'm not 100% sane doesn't automatically mean I'm 100% wrong and some people have a hard time making the distinction. Hospital staff have treated me worse than my family but many of the staff members have meant well also. It's confusing for everyone.
I'm sorry you are struggling and hope your family and friends stop treating you like a sick person and more like the whole person you are. (((Hugs)))
