My family knows I'm depressed. They also know that some days are worse than others. They can tell that today is one of my worse days...So why do they insist on instigating and making things worse?

 I can relate. They do it cause in their mind they think they are helping in some way. They don't really get it, but to them they think they are saying/doing things that will help make your day better when it reality it doesn't!! I hope it gets better!!

Thank you! I mean, they're yelling at me for having an "attitude" and telling me to stop being a *****. They know what's going on, yet they continue to make it worse.

That is because they think we can just turn it off like that. I had to tell my mom the othe day that you know it isn't as easy as you think. I hated doing it but it shut her up. I know they are making it worse for you & I'm sorry! I wish we could make them understand. ((((big hugs))))

Good question. My family is the same way. They know JUST how to push my buttons, and somehow it becomes my fault if something they do makes me unhappy. Families seem to be good at making things worse, whether they mean to or not. I'm sorry yours doesn't seem to understand your depression or that they're making it worse. Sending lots of hugs

Thank you all for your replies.
 What pisses me off the most is my dad...every time, heaven forbid, that I'm in a bad mood, his first comment/question is "have you taken your meds today?" It wouldn't matter if I had or not...they're not a quick fix for everything...they're stability, for me. In other words, they keep me from jumping off a bridge on an impulse. They don't make me all happy all the time. Especially not in a single moment. I can't just pop a couple of pills and make everything go away. God, if something like that does exist, somebody PLEASE tell me...I will consult my pdoc right away.  I hate how he just assumes that they're a magical cureall. They don't control my emotions...they don't control me as a person...they just help me stay a little more sane...that is all. I wish he could realize that.
