How to ask for help (emotional support)?

Question

Male, 28. Disabled since 18, physically/mentally (uncontrolled seizures, medication creates cognitive issues)

Everytime I even try asking theses close to me for help, they think I'm joking (I am usually the go to guy,  sarcastic "what how can I help you") they adapted to my disability but without true understanding of severity. (I'd rather have a physical disability, NOT BOTH)

I know my psych state, depression, is worsening. No immediate need for intervention, but soon. (can foresee mental break down) no professional diagnosis

I need. 
1) Human interaction. I dislike speaking (cognitive slow) crowds (but sit in public while those known are  @ work)
2) new daily activities. Can't continue current routine (conflicts)
3) job, more income. HS diploma. physically able but limits. (on meds= "NOT POSSIBLE" mental slow, MIND GOES BLANK too often... Off meds = mentally capable but severe seizures)
4) relax, mentally non-psych. (I need to stay mentally alert to function, all day, without doing so I forget too much to the point I fall too far behind) you can say ANXIETY and/or OVER-ANALYTICAL

Lifeline · Answer

do research on the seizures and anything relate to what you are experiencing and share this with those around you.  if you are computer savvy, why not research online learning but select an online school for you Diploma: must be accredited so you can use when you apply to an institute of higher learning--academic college or a technical school to gain a higher degree?   furthermore, it appears you can communicate well online so consider it....you set your education schedule due to the effects of these meds you are on and need.  
   
As a psychologist, I suggest you find one near you so he or she can help you overcome psych issues--anxiety, depression, etc.  You have the passion so use your will to manage the things/limits you are aware of.
