Supporting Mental Illness / Neurodivergence, when it's easy

The worst offenders are family members who are mental health professionals. I spent the last 2 years getting called a white Supremacist by my mother. She knows I suffer from very very severe, isolating depression. (And I’ve been a bleeding heart liberal my whole life)

She got me further isolated.

Then...she finally denied it all, and my sister said “eh, people say things they don’t mean. Just move past it.”

I finally realized the accusations were just a more acceptable way for them to say ‘we cannot tolerate your decades of depression.’

Decades of depression leave you totally alone . So I’m totally alone. And I’ve done all the therapy my insurance covers. Plus, more - probably 10k more.
