Generally, I have very little or no support from my family. I only have my sister, who is left in my family. She hardly calls me (we live 3000 miles apart); and when we do talk, it doesn't go very well.

However, my niece (my sister's daughter) has severe depression (much worse than mine). She (my niece) and I have never connected. She's extremely shy and doesn't talk much. We have never spoken on the phone; and she hardly talked to me when I used to visit my sister. It's been 12 years since I last visited and there's no indication I will be visiting there anytime soon. I wish that we could connect. At least we could support each other with depression.
