How Would I Convince My Family That My Depression That Is Serious.?

Question by Helping Hand x.: How would i convince my family that my Depression that is serious.?
i don’t really get along with my family too well.. and they know that i am “depressed”. but they don’t take it seriously.. nor do they act like its important at all. I don’t think they realize that im losing it.. losing my grip with coping. i don’t cut or do drugs or anything like that. ive been trying to stay away from stuff like that so i can live a normal like as possible.. but its just getting really hard. it was a lot worse at one point.. then got a little better.. but now its back to really bad.. and getting worse.
Part of my problem is that i’m really afraid of people, and therefore i isolate myself and avoid others at all costs because of this fear. But being alone every second of the day is also really hard.. i try to deal with it.. but no one really understands.
This is also an embarrassing problem because people just think i have no friends, because i cant find any.. or some other reasons.. but i mainly don’t feel comfortable around anyone. and i have really bad anxiety. The isolation is killing me.. and its just really hard. i’m too scared to talk on the phone.. that’s how bad my anxiety is. I don’t even know if anyone can help me at this point.
i feel it will crack me. i don’t think i can go on much longer.. i am losing hope.. and i don’t have anyone to talk to. I’m falling to pieces. Ive asked to go see a “Therapist” But my Parents won’t listen. They think i’m over reacting. But, iam not!

See if you can find any information at www.nami.org ( National Alliance for the Mentally Ill )

I have a phobia about phone calls too = ) If you can find the strength, call 211 this is a national referral help line, ( the call is free ) They can lead you in the right direction to get the help you need.
