They shouldn't have said it like that at all. But also you shouldn't say its selfish of your family to want you to live either. Obviously I don't know anything about your family or what you've been/are going through, but most families have no idea how to support people going through what you are, they hope and pray that you will feel better, that talking to a therapist will help, that taking meds will help, anything to stop you feeling like that. But they don't know that meds sometimes don't work and have side affects, they don't know that therapy takes a long time and ad there's so many types it takes takes while to find what works for you, they don't know how much it hurts to think that nothing is changing and that we're going to be stuck like this...but what they do know is that they don't want to lose you. So no it's not selfish to feel how you feel, but they were right about how it would impact a family, especially one who won't ever really understand why. It makes sense in our heads, but never really will in theirs.
