My sister is exactly the same and lives with depression as I do.

Thats how I was known to my family. The entertainer. The singer. The comedian.

Interesting. Parents dismissive of your feelings, a depressive sister, a special role to play. I think a "family systems" psychotherapist might find some professional fulfillment in analysing your whole family -- grandparents, parents, siblings.
Plonk on us all you want, Shen. You have a right to your feelings, regardless of the "shoulds" and "shouldn'ts".
