(((((( Bluebicycle ))))))

You are loved.

You mean a lot to me and to other members here, I am sure.

I know it hurts when family does not understand and does not share enough compassion.

You could leave or you could stay and work on your family relationships, trying to reach a better understanding.

We all want our families to understand and to care. Sometimes family members can reach an understanding, sometimes not.

Not many in my family extend themselves to try to understand my challenges, even though I have gone the distance to understand their challenges/needs. I tend to be more open and compassionate. I remain open to a change in the dynamics, should it ever become possible.

Don't entirely give up on your family. They love you. (I know of many parents not willing to allow their adult children to live with them. Your parents care, they just don't "get" all you need them to understand,) We all/each have some limitations and sometimes need more information to gain insight enough to offer compassion.

Decide what's most helpful to you and set goals for yourself when you can do so.

You have a lot going for you. You are very intelligent and able to pursue your career, etc. You are lovable. (We all love you and care about you.)

Severe depression sucks. It's draining, frustrating, disheartening, and more. It can, eventually, cause us to want to check out. We can become desperate for relief from the related distress. (I am going through this right now, too.)

I hope the depression shifts for you and life will look more hopeful.

Please be safe, Blue.
