> Enyone else feel as though, even though their family cares, they just dont "get it" in regard to their mental illness?

~~~I'm thinking no one can really "get it" unless they experience it. It's even difficult to relate to a mental illness that differs from the one you experience. Probably even if it's the same, as we are all so different in your responses. Some families, friends, etc, are better than others at trying to have empathy.


> She also thinks I should not try another antidepressant, even though Im depressed and suicidal, saying that i am "ok" and that im "not depressed". How would she know? arghh ok im ranting lol. Sorry.

~~~She doesn't know. Only you know what you are going through. She's probably very concerned about you despite how it may seem.

If you are BP, have you done mood stabilizers? -- probably so, if you trialed the number of meds you say, but if you haven't recently, may be it's worth another thought to discuss with your doc.
