I can't tell my family about my BPD and CPTSD because any time I mention I'm slightly depressed, or that I'm in therapy, or on medications, I either get smirked at and ignored, laughed at, or yelled at because I'm a "ridiculous person" and "my life was perfect."

I know my emotional disregulation has caused them to disregard me in the past, but in recent years I've worked really hard to be reasonable. I don't lash out anymore and I'm actively working on being a better person all around.

Yet in the last couple of months, I've tried to rationally confide in some family members about how much I'm struggling, and still they laugh and taunt me. Which sometimes forces me to lash out, because I don't see any logical reason why they don't believe/care about what I'm going through (literally ever.)

I'm wondering, how do you guys cope with not having a support network? I'm in therapy, and I've done the group therapy thing, but I'm specifically wondering, how do you cope with knowing that your family don't care about your mental illness?
