Treating others whilst depressed

A family member has had some PTSD issues recently and I've been the primary family shrink! This has been exhausting to me so there are times when I disappear when I can.

However it's been clear that I have had terrible depression in the last few years and nobody ever tries to tackle it directly and help. Does any one else feel that people try and use more convenient explanations for it and skirt round it? It feels sometimes like I just want to shout I'm mentally ill, that's the big problem, not all this other nonsense!

      Maybe they have to cover themselves that way but pft i don't know, i thought it'd be an easier less trouble route for you to take.
