Family Not Understanding

My family basically does not understand me, I don't think I give them reason to understand though. I just am not comfortable sharing about mental health problems with family, who could really understand unless they have the same problems. I mean to me I think I'm normal, just have some problems and have to take medicine I hate taking just to deal with them. I know I look and sound weird to others, but I like my self and have no complaint about my look's or voice or behavior. People can be really me to me, even my family is mean at times. My brother blames every thing that goes wrong for me on me, he like rubs it in, even when I know I did not cause the problem. My family thinks I'm stupid, I know they do, I'm not at all stupid though I'm very smart. Sure I have some trouble with learning how to do things, I have a problem remembering even really important things, but I am in no way stupid. I think my trouble with socializing has a lot to do with others thinking I'm stupid, and I like spending time with kids more than older people so other adults might think I'm kind of weird. But I think it's weird to drink cuss and smoke, why do people think that makes you more an adult, oh wow you drink and kill brain cells and do nasty things and talk nasty & you do nasty things with girls your so grown up, pff. I don't get much sunlight so I look fairly pale, so what, but my mom has to rub it in when ever she can, it's just skin an organ and too much sunlight makes your skin wrinkle and sag. I like being funny and making weird voices and sayings, but some people are so serious it's like they got a corn cob up there butt, I feel awful so many days but I still do my best to be goofy and kids are the ones who appreciate it that's another reason I like kids. I'm nice to every one, but some people just got to be mean to me because there eyes are to precious to tolerate looking at me or there ears are too precious to hear my voice, holy than you attitudes even though there language is like there taking a dump out of there face. Thanks for reading. I got a bit angry into the typing.

I know this is an old thread, but I hope you're able to read this, and I hope it helps.


I share my mental health stuff with my mental health professionals, law officials (I committed a crime back in 2011 that still effects me today), and my online support groups. I tell NO ONE besides that about my mental health stuff, and I'm alright with that. The thing that works best for me, is the online people. I'm not afraid to tell anyone online about my mental health issues. I mean really, if it creeps them out or scares them or whatever, who are they to you/me? They're just someone online. Block them if you have to. It's not like they'll have anything to do in your life. My family members are not the most book smart people, especially when it comes to mental illnesses. They wouldn't understand. My mom probably would, but that's about it. I'm open with my mom here and there, but really, that's it.

Sites like this are the best for support groups. Do you have a Skype account? Try adding some people on Skype to talk to. Or Xbox Live or something like that. There are people out there who will understand you and will be able to help you who aren't medical professionals. I find the best people who help are people who experience the stuff themselves.
