Family and friends are not always the best people to try and get help from. They may or may not understand and may not be able to help you on the level that you need.
Mental illness really does s u c k.

But why can't friends and family help??? Why can't they listen and just be responsive? I ended up calling a hotline on Christmas Day. The hotline person was really good...I mean really really good. But what exactly did she do? She listened...she reflected...and gave a few suggestions. Not exactly rocket science.
Thank you for your reply. You see, your comments made me feel better and it did not mean I agreed with everything. I just really appreciated that you took the time to listen and respond.
