Thanks, Bee, for telling your experiences.
It sounds like some rough seas you've come through.
From my view, I see people going through hell. Mostly I just guess about them but it explains a lot.
It took until I was past 40 for a therapist to suggest that I had depression. I'm up to, umm, 2 or 3 diagnoses now.
If I can make half a dozen I'll win a free set of steak knives.
My family have not been helpful, probably they just didn't know what to do. Not many people know, or want to know, about mental illness.
I hope you find support here, and feel valued. Your MI is real and you deserve any help you can get.
Take care.

That sounds so full-on and tough to live with - my heart goes out to you. I can imagine it's also challenging not being in a position to work. I hope you can get some good help and advice - this forum is a great place to start. Sending big hugs.
