Bipolar: I am sorry to hear your parents are not supportive as it would surely help. Make sure you are in psychotherapy as well as taking medication. Ask your therapist for support groups in your area where you can turn to others for support. Also reach out to friends you trust. If possible ask your parents to attend a session with you so they can understand what your are experiencing. My best.

Emotional support: If it is emotional support you're looking for, then i would recommend that you get into group therapy and individual therapy. Your local nami www.Nimh.Nih.Gov should also be able to provide social connections for you. Try not to burden your parents with your illness if you're not getting a positive response from them because it only frustrates you further and makes you more depressed. Best wishes.
