I have been in the hospital a few times with my nerves.
My family will not have anything to do with me at all. I would never hurt nobody. I do not get invited on christmas etc. They have told people some diagnosis that is not even true. When I even get a job they call to see if I am there right on the first day. I have a fear of working because, I am scared that they may call my boss,and tell them things about me that are not true at all ,and my boss will even fire me. I do not work because I am too scared,and I am scared that they will call my landlord ,and try to get me evicted beause of my mental health .I look,and act just like everyone else.Why are they doing or would even try to do this to me.My brother told me that my mother told him I was Scizopheric,and all I have is depression so now he has diconnected his phone.I mean he changed his number to an unlisted number.I love my family,and wish they loved me too.

You may have some issues with your nerves, but your FAMILY is the one with the MAJOR ISSUES. Most people hide from things that they can not explain or know about. Its easier to stay away from the problem then confront it. Thats what I think your mother is doing...and since she is Mom, the rest of the family assumes she must be right, so they listen and follow her lead. I dont think she hates you, she just doesnt understand why/how you have depression. The saddest thing about it is that she is missing out on having a relationship with her child..YOU! Im sure that besides these issues, you are a great, wonderful, respectful person and its her loss that she wont know that! Your family needs to see a therapist! Maybe then they can get over this fear they have and instead try to understand what you are going through, but I doubt you can get them to go...they are probably in denial. As for what you can do, keep your distance from them! They only make you feel worse than you already do and you dont need that ****!! Surround yourself with friends, start seeing a therapist and get a job that you would actually enjoy! You cant live your life worrying about them, if you do, youll never be happy! You come first, remember that, concentrate on things that would make you happy. And when you do get a job, DONT TELL THEM. They dont deserve to know anything about you, since they cant treat you right! There are also many support groups for people with depression, try looking some up, ya never know! If ya ever need to talk, dont hesitate to email me! Good luck, hun! And remember you are a good person!!
Oh and since your family seems to think you are "different" just let them know that around 75% of people suffer from depression!!

At first I felt that no one should be treated like this and that it is totally unfair. Then I started looking at your Q&A and got a totally different idea. Your question looks very much like a question that DREAM21 posted and got a lot of responses. You questions, while there weren't too many really looked strange.
In one question it looked like you were a 43 year old female with the following " have had Two C-Sections,Hyterectomy,and GallBladder surgery". Other answers are just not consistant with your question.
Is there something you really want to get off of your mind?

Can't say why your mom would do such things. Sounds like a control issue. All you can do is live. You won't get work if you don't try. Don't tell her where you work! And even if she finds out, calls and slanders you, you just be you, and your boss will se you for what you are and not what your mom says you are. Just don't give her the satifaction of obsessing so much that you become what she says you are. But don't listen to me. Talk to your therapist about it. Good luck!

I would have to say that I am sorry that they are treating you like. If I were you I would move to a different state and lose communication and start my new life. Its okay to love them, but if they are brining you down you need to get the negative out of your life and start thinking about your happiness

Wow, that really sucks. I don't have contact with my family either. It is painful, but they are too mean. Find a support group, and or new friends and make your own family.
Also I would suggest getting as far away from them as possible and starting new somewhere where you you don't have to be afraid they will sabotage you.

The best thing you can do is move away from them and start a new life without their negative influence.
It might be hard at first but you will soon grow wings, become strong and blossom, away from those horrible people.

oh honey im so sorry. your brother should know you better than that and he should at leats talk to you to get the real truth. Your mother is probably scared and doesn't know how to handle the situation. No matter what happens, it doesn't sound like its your fault.

See a therapist or a counselor. I'm sorry that's all the advice I can give you. Sounds to me like your family is nuts, not you.
