A family member has severe depression and is struggling. I'm not sure how much I can help as a busy mum but I've been to visit recently and make sure they know I'm available to visit or tall if needed.
I've struggled with mental health issues so I feel I do understand the pain somewhat.
My relative recently was in crisis, my own parents (Her grandparents) were with me at the time. Her mum called me and explained.. when I told my mother she simply rolled her eyes and was like 'for God's sake. I have various issues with this behaviour but do I just accept that some people are less accepting about MH issues? She has always been fairly cynical about MH issues, is it just a generational thing? To see her be so dismissive is So hard for me. It brings back memories of her not really having any time for my MH struggles which I largely had to face on my own.
