I just want to flag this one real quick, because this feels like the depression talking, and depression is a very unreliable narrator. Humans are generally terrible at determing how other people feel (and it gets exponentially worse when we're in a dark place). I totally get that it feels like that, but would also ask that you explore the possibility that it's untrue.
I can't think of a single example of a person being annoyed by somebody opening up to them.
That's of course the logical side of things, which is hard to see when you're neck-deep in the emotional side. You've already taken some really important steps though. You told your friend and brother part of the story and they didn't respond negatively. Your post here (telling more of the story) has 14 likes... even though it might not feel like much is changing, you're actually making some progress.
