What's the best way to deal with my family members not understanding my depression and pressuring me to do things that I'm having a hard time with?

It's hard to open a discussion about how your mental illness is affecting your life with people who have not gone through it and who may not fully understand. However, I think it may be beneficial to have an open and honest discussion about how it makes you feel and all you can do is hope that they will at least try to understand a bit more.

Hey there! Its really a very genuine issue when people expect more from you while you are already going on with so many things in yourself only. Though we live in a family and we have our roles there so, expectation is a vital term there. But when we are feeling low and depressed its hard to give our best. In a situation like this one shall take a break. A family talk and discussion might also help by improving the mutual understanding if it works well, sharing of workload for that period of time can bring positive results. If not, then asking help with a friend or someone who can possibly help can also help in lowering the stress.
