How can I make my family understand that I'm not seeking attention and just trying to get the help I need?

Take it to another adult such as your school counselor or doctor. If you speak with them about your serious concerns, they can take it to your parents with a more professional tone, and hopefully this helps :)

Many family members and friends will not accept the mental health help that you need because they either think they can fix it or it will pass. Just keep educating them and allow them to participate in some of your journey. They will learn as they go.

I’m sorry I don’t know, I decided to just not say anything and just gave up on trying to tell them.. my family is not understanding at all...

Professional opinion from a specialist that explains your problem and how important it is to get you the help you need would normally do so.. Yet it still depends on why does your family refuse to admit that you simply need help not thier attention

That is a good question. If talking to your family directly doesn't work, I would talk to a teacher or guidance counselor at school, and explain your situation. When talking to your parents, be clear about how you're feeling and explain you feel the need for some help. Be clear on what type of help you are looking for too :)

explain to them what you're going through. be detailed so they are aware it is SERIOUS. family members might know more than you think.

you don't have to make them understand, don't force yourself. just live your life, grow, love yourself and most important explore your life.

Your family will understand because thy love you. Just explain to them what you are trying to tell them and let them feel how you feel.

Talk about your dreams and your efforts that you are putting in and where you are lacking behind and ask if they can help where you lack.

It can be very difficult to communicate with family members when facing negativity from them. These are people that often have known you your whole life, and misunderstandings can have strong effects on your relationships with them. If you need help, it is okay to calmly and respectfully tell people exactly how you are feeling, especially by prefacing the conversation with phrases like "I would really like your help", or "I'd like to talk to you about something. Please try to understand what I'm going through".
