I really can't stand my immediate family. My mom is such a nag. I try to talk to her but she just ignores me, she's too caught up with her own problems. My dad is practically emotionless; I think it's due to all those vitamins, OTC aspirins, and energy drinks he consumes daily. I have only one sister, but she's mentally handicapped, so I can't bond with her much. I'm secretly dealing with really bad depression. I feel like such a failure all the time. I've been having trouble in school lately. All I want to do is sleep all day; I'm not motivated to do anything with my life. I recently tried talking to my mom about what I feel, but she just says, "Get over it, you're not depressed". For all this, I hate my family. Is it normal to hate them so much?

Is It Normal?

    I moved out when I was 16 and got a job to support myself through high school. I do not recommend it, because it wasn't easy, but it was the right thing for me to do. Try to make some good friends who will be there for you.

    Just remember you can bail when you hit 18. Get into a hobby until then.

    I'm the same way. My sister is my problem. She is uneducated and has baby after baby. She is on welfare and is always in dyre need of $$$ she also has crisis after crisis. seriously every week it's something. It's been going on for ten yrs. She affects me so much that I do not love her kids at all, and she gets me so depressed I am considering disowning her but it's hard bc she loves me to death.

    I think finding help would be optimal, but if that isn't an option at this point, maybe you need an outlet. If you like to draw, paint, skateboard, cook...anything, try to focus on that. Things will improve. It just takes time. Hang in there.

    I would find a community outreach program. Just because they ignore your depression doesn't mean it's not there. It'll only get worse.
