family?

Can you really call your siblings family when they don't support you with anything especially when your going through health issues or just making fun of you everytime some thing happened. Been loading my hair for a couple of weeks and its finally noticeable and my older sisters are making fun of my, thinking that everytime i feel like im doing good on forgetting my depression they come nd bring me down. :(

You need to see a doctor about the hair loss, there are several treatable causes for this.  As for family....they can be cruel but you have to rise above this and not allow them to bring you down.  Chances are they just don't understand,, but no excuse for meaning mean to you.  It doesn't matter what you call your siblings, YOU have to do what makes YOU happy and now allow them to take anything away from you....like your dignity and self-respect.  Hold your head high and try not to let their actions bring you down.  See your doctor regarding your hair and go from there.  I wish you all the best.
