How do I start?

[Rag_Doll]

Im new here. Im ready to ask for help. I realized i cant do this alone anymore. I have explained my condition to my immediate family, they simply don't understand, which makes me feel so alone. I don't talk to anybody about the way that i feel, what Im going through. If Im around people i excuse my self and cry in the bathroom, and go back to pretending Im ok. Like i said in my profile I stopped seeing the beauty in life, everything seems so grey. I don't know how to get better, where do I start?

Share your story, tell more about yourself, I guess that’s how you start.

Hello. Welcome. I stopped trying to seek emotional support from my family a long time ago. I think it’s hard for some family members to accept a loved one has mental illness. Some families won’t acknowledge it because they feel it reflects poorly on the entire family. Then I just chalk it up to human nature.
