I've realised that no-one really cares about me

...See more I come from a very education before health type of family, where my grades and education always took priority. It was the only thing anyone in my family would really notice. As a result, i would always do anything that would make me a better student. E.g, head student, while my actual health was pushed to the side. A couple of months ago, i was doing the biggest exam period of my life (22 exams over three weeks). It was expected that id do well, and go off to a sixthform to do Alevels. However, i didn't do as good as hoped. And all my plans had to change. I got on a good college course, which incudes psychology which i am enjoying far more than i thought i would, but its clear that no one really cares about what i do. I never get to talk about it, or what experiments i did. Recently i got the higest grade possible on an assignment, and i tell my family with great pride about it, but they didn't seem to care. They gave a half-arsed response. And sure, some could say that they simply didn't understand it, but its not that, as my Autistic siblings (who failed more subjects then me) got on a course which no one in my family understands, but they pretend they do for them. They are so dissapointed in me And maybe they should be I failed Doesnt help that im gay either, and most of them are religious. They hate me already for that Im already struggling as it is. My mental health is already getting worse and worse by the day. And i have tried to get help. I tried talking to the college councillors, but they didn't care about my depression no matter how many times i mentioned it. Just anxiety. Its like no one has ever really cared about me. If i were to dissapear, no one would bother looking. Theyd be glad i was gone
