Daizy,
Good issue!!! I have not been able to explain my illness to my family. My husband was FINALLY able to understand (technically) depression after his aunt explained it to him. I also had him speak with two psychologists. After my last suicide attempt he actually read the depression information I brought home from the hospital. So, I guess, in my case, I had to use every resource I could find!!
There is lots of information on the net regarding specific illnesses. I remember the Paxil web site (I think) also had a page to print out for family members.
Let us know how it goes. It is a struggle. Remember, you have to take care of yourself first. Don't do something you know you aren't ready for. We will support your decisions here.
