I'm starting to see that i need to lean on people that aren't blood family but are wanting to be my support true family

Walk away from anyone that makes you feel worse, this includes family!!

Regardless of mind state, if people lack empathy & kindness, I'd rather not be around them.

Energy is something that takes time to fill and I wouldn't dispense it on anyone that wasn't worth losing it for.

Being part of your family doesn't mean they would be understanding. My mom had depression and my grandmother, her mom never understood where my mom is coming from. When I was depressed for the first time in my life at 13, my mom took me to the doctor right away.
My husband tries to be understanding but it is not always.

It's impossible to convert the unconverted 👍

Exactly. Funny how lacking in empathy family can be, as though we should tolerate the level of unhappiness we experience forever, since we always had before.

God forbid we should "complain" now that we're aware that we don't have to suffer. Why, it's downright "selfish."
