I've been there. My favorite was when I told my aunt that I was depressed again, and she said, with a long suffering sigh, "what are you depressed about?" I said, "No, I am depressed -- my depression is back." She said, "no -- you have to be depressed *about* something!"

Then again, we ar talking about a human steamroller...

You might consider something I did: I printed out a couple of articles -- basic, beginners articles, with words of one syllable or less -- and told her, "You say you care about me, well if it's true you can damn well show it by learning something about depression, so you don't keep saying stupid things." I don't know if she ever read any of it, but she has kept her mouth shut since then.

Of course, she also hasn't stayed with us since then, either, which probably helps, too...

I'm sorry you're not getting better support from them. Good luck.
