I'm finally willing to be a happier me but I feel family members are stopping this from happening?
My family are the people that I have seen me go through this horrible time of depression in my life. I had no other close friends during that period so they're really the only ones who knew the full extent and experience of my depression.
I have no friends because of how debilitating my depression was and so my family are the only support I have. They're really not supportive though and always bring up my flaws and things I've done badly. It feels like they hold these things against me. Can I make it to recovery all on my own?
It helps to have a positive support system around you in times of depression but it's very much a personal thing and you will be your own biggest strength to get through these moments. Families can be the best and worst support systems, it can be much more beneficial to reach out to friends or a therapist in your times of need. Support places like here, and group therapy where you can connect with others going through similar struggles (that can be found again on here, or in person depending on where you live)
I hope that things get better.
