Namechanged for this. In February I had a mental health crisis. For about a week afterwards, family members contacted me to check up on how I was. I found it a little overwhelming, but said nothing as I got that they were doing it because they cared.
I've noticed in the last couple of weeks that, the same family members that were falling over themselves to ask how I was in February and post on social media about how they were looking out for me, are now ignoring me. I've sent texts asking how they're coping, and they get ignored. I understand that they have their own families, but it would be nice if they would just even send a quick text saying they were OK (even if it is a lie, it would be better than nothing).
I know I'm probably being unreasonable, but it just currently feels like I'm wasting my time.

Maybe they are having their own difficulties??

I wouldn’t be impressed with anyone posting on social media about my health (mental or physical)!

I'm never allowed to post anything that might conceivably be taken as a slight against my family (only praise allowed). They can post whatever they want and any complaints from me are me trying to badmouth them. I've tried in the past and know from experience that it's easier to just ignore the double standards.
