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

You need to think to yourself why? Why do they think I'm seeking attention in the first place? And then go from there because there is always a reason behind everything so think first

As a member that has experienced family misunderstanding, I feel like the best way to help them understand is to explain to them and help them feel like what it is like to be in your shoes. Perhaps when they understand what is going on in your life, they will understand that you are seeking help.

Try to explain to them how you feel some times family doesn’t understand that what you are going through is real?

explain to your family how you're really feeling, don't miss a single detail, they need to know exactly how you're feeling. then they will hopefully get the idea that you aren't seeking attention, you're actually seeking help

Maybe try to talk to them honestly about how you feel and explain why you need help. If they still think you're just seeking attention then find someone who will listen and empathise with you

I think giving resources on cases like yours would be convincing, but also a doctors diagnosis is pretty strong evidence as well.

Take aside your most trusted family member and confide in them. Tell them exactly what you need and exactly what you feel. If this is too forward for you, try writing a letter to you or a trusted counselor or friend.

Have a chat with your parents one day and really just tell them what you are going through. Parents knows whats best for their children.

Being expressive of your feelings and concerns helps other understand your view point as well as eliminates misunderstanding and being misjudged

First of all, you can take some time thinking about your relationship with our parents. How close are you? How do you communicate and how often? What are the dynamics between you and them? Then you can show them how important is for you, by choosing a day where all of you can be together, somewhere safe and familiar, at home, for example. Then it comes the hardest part: putting your feelings and thoughts on a plate for them, be clear and on point. They are you parents and is their main responsibility to take care of you. If necessary, you can also explain how they can't see beyond your actions and how much harder makes it for you. Don't let them take action when is too late! Be brave, I love you.
