Sorry, that sounds painful. It's difficult to teach empathy.
Have you tried explaining what it feels like to experience what it is you're experiencing? Has she received any education about mental health?
It's very difficult to help people understand who have never experienced the things we've experienced. It's not impossible though.
The most important thing right now is to focus on taking care of yourself. I write this now knowing that this is what I need to do for myself too.
