They understand the depression half of my illness, but they have no absolutely no idea what psychosis is. It’s really frustrating! Any time I try to talk about my symptoms, they just blame everything on depression. I’m sure they’re trying their best, but I just wish that they could understand what it’s like.

I guess depression is a lot more relatable, it’s easier to imagine being sad because everyone has sad moods, than it is to be imagine being psychotic.

My Dad is absolutely disinterested and against trying to learn about my illness. He says “I’m not a psychologist” and just doesn’t even try to look it up.

My mom has made strides in understanding. She now accepts that I need my medication, but she thinks that since I take my meds I shouldn’t have any symptoms anymore. It can be frustrating sometimes, but it is nice that she tries. I’m just glad I have the forum full of people who do get it. It makes me feel less alone.

My father and especially my brother just don’t give a damn.
When I asked my brother yesterday why he never asks me how I am doing in my life from time to time, he said that it’s because he doesn’t care.
Such a miserable person.

Someone asked in Reddit yesterday if ‘life was worth living.’ Not in a suicidal manner…
But this a forum of normies and probably the top 5 replies were complaints about being overworked.
@naturallycured keeps talking about ‘the great reset.’ I don’t really know what it is tho. Something about everyone in the world taking a big chill pill and not stressing so much. Idk, I could be wrong…

I think that he could be depressed.
He suffers from clinical depression and is taking meds for it.
