I'm sorry you're going through that. It's really difficult to initiate and ask for help. And it's even more difficult to cope with problems if the person you asked for help doesn't provide. I'm not saying people are obligated to help and that we're entitled for others to help us, but it is important for us to ask and then receive...
I'm experiencing something similar, except it's my dad who doesn't care and even antagonizes me just by the way he treats me and looks at me. Whenever we interact, I always feel like I'm some kind of pest or bug and he looks at me like I am exactly that. And he even knows that I have anxiety and depression, so he's pretty crappy in that sense. I know he also has his own issues, but he brings other people down and it really sucks because I don't feel safe or supported in any way.
My mom is a slight bit more helpful, because she tries to help me by not getting mad at me or controlling what she says towards me. And she doesn't see me or talk to me like how my dad does.
It's really hard to cope with anxiety and depression even more so since my parents aren't supportive and I don't feel safe or comfortable in my house because of them.
I'm so sorry you're feeling that way, and it's hard being not listened to and being supported in the right way. It's really frustrating too when people just jump to conclusions about problems that aren't even theirs and making assumptions about those said issues...
Do you have close friends or other family members that you can confide in whenever you need support? Maybe see a therapist or attend a support group?
