Is it normal to wake up feeling sad?

This has been going on for quite some time now. I wake up every morning feeling like shit. I feel so demotivated and can't help but think of negative things and how miserable my life is. I keep comparing my life with my cousins and friend and keep thinking how happy they are compared to me. I also can't stop blaming myself for a lot of things. I feel like things will never change and the people around me don't have anything nice to say except depressing things. My dad actually predicted the future by saying I'll commit suicide and my mother and brother will suffer. My mother keeps telling me of her horrible past and how she's suffering at present. If I try and tell anyone how I feel, I'll be called weak, stupid, too sensitive, useless and get yelled at. I can't even sleep well. I have to force myself to go to sleep. But when I wake up, I wish I never did because I always wake up to unpleasantness and negative things in my house. That completely ruins everything for me. I really need some reassurance that life will change and I too will be happy. I wish I had a shoulder to cry on sometimes. Does anybody feel the same way?

    Depression? Your family is making it worse on you when really they should try to be comforting you, not predicting your suicide.

    I honestly, haven't felt happy or good for years. I feel like I'm stuck in the cloud, but it not just mornings for me. It's 24/7. I'm always stressed out and I have considered suicide and have even tried to act on the urges....

    You're in allot of pain and I understand what you're going through. See a therapist or talk to someone you can trust. It gets better, but sadly for me it's yet to happen.... Remember, you are better than them. Try not to get caught up in their nonsense.

    Good Luck:)

    The morning is often the worst time for depression. It's HARD I know but try to get a good night's sleep and just get outta that bed and into the shower and eat breakfast. Even if you are crying while you do it. You will start to feel better and get out into the sunshine to get your UV light and exercise.

    Mornings are the worst for me. I've been under a lot of stress and stress makes me depressed and anxious. You can try to stay positive, but sometimes that doesn't help. It at least doesn't cure you. Depression makes you think differently, it's a symptom. You'll get better once something changes, like you moving out, but it only lasts until something else stresses you out.

    yeah i'm 18 now and still wake up depressed. i hate it because the only person i can talk to is my bf and i can't tell him that i think about killing myself. my mum is an alcoholic and my dad is a workaholic. my sister is so selfish and both my brothers torchered me as a child. i never told my dad but my mum tried to kill when i was 12. my friends only seem to want to bitch and moan about their lives and about me. you are not weak. growing up my brothers would hurt me everytime i cried. so i learned that crying was for babies but now i know it's ok to cry and that no matter what people say and do to you isn't important. just know your not stupid or worthless, you'll achieve so much in your life. i try to think possitive foe the people around me. no matter what your family think or say your better then them and if they think your going to end your life then prove them wrong. be strong and don't let anyone bring you down. i've learned to now not have bad thoughts every night but i cant sleep so they do creep in their. all i can say is be strong, i sorta know how you feel. :)

          I feel you, as soon as I graduated high school I moved back to my home town, got a job, everything's been coming together since. There's always that few days that comes around when I feel blue. But not nearly as bad as it was. Maybe you should open up to your bf? I know how it is, I recently opened up to mine about it and I feel SO much better. We've been together almost a year so I felt so silly keeping it in, but even more foolish if I told. (Or so I thought). Anyways, I'd really recommend that. <3

    You are not weak, stupid, or useless. You sound like you're suffering from depression. You really need to speak to a doctor or counselor. I was like that for a while but got better with the help of others & medication. Good luck to you. Things do get better!

    i wake up every morning horribly confused and depressed. it goes away shortly. your family needs to be let known theyre actually hurting you. but the waking up part id say even for me should just be a phase.

    I used to feel the same when I was younger. Although my family didn't pull me down like it does you.
    What I did back then was to force myself to look for the good things in my life and just try to ignore the bad things. For example look into the mirror and smile to yourself thinking: I will make today a good day! It may sound silly and useless, and it is a hard thing to do, but after a while it helped. Life is what you make of it :)

    And if you feel like your family is just frustrating you instead of helping you, you could consider moving out (I don't know how old you are, though, maybe it's too early)
