Adult responsibility: Your relationship to your family shifts as you transition from childhood to adulthood in your late teens and early 20s. This can be hard for you as well as your family. And sometimes families care very much, but don't show it very well. Although your relatives should be supportive, you will increasingly need to take responsibility for your own emotional state and how you interact with family.

Depression: Sorry to hear that. Do you have any other support networks thru friends, church, school? Have you sought counseling? There are medications that can help. Also, consider meditation.

Blaming Others: You are 22 years old. It is time for you to learn to live independently and to set your own boundaries. You are not fully responsible for your mental health and your life. You and your therapist can set you some achievable goals to create your own life, your own home and your own self care. You get to take care of yourself now.
