I'm 16 and have been suffering from depression for a while. My parents are mad at me and my relationship with them is not so good anymore.

I basically hid my depression from them. I would go in the bathroom and cry or cry myself to sleep. It wasn't until I was at a very very low point that I reached out for help. The hot line I contacted ended up informing my parents who were enraged.

After the incident which was a few months ago I pretended I was getting better and put a happy mask on. It ended up getting too much for me so I had a break down and talked to a teacher I was close to. She informed my parents who again, were not happy.

Yesterday they caught me upset and my dad started yelling at me. Calling me selfish and ungrateful. I have two younger brothers and he said too much time is invested in one child (me) and if a parent had three children like me they would be su-uh-si-dul (don't like typing the word). Because I'm from a fairly wealthy family they think that because I have many materialistic goods I'm being ungrateful and shouldn't ever be unhappy. But I'm unhappy for so many more reasons.

He says I brought this all on myself and my parents just aren't fond of me anymore.

They don't understand. I've tried so hard. I can't help feeling this way. I'm sad for deeper reasons. And I don't understand why they keep accusing me of being selfish and 'me me me' when I do my best to hide it from them and hid it from them for a long time. I didn't want them to suffer but they resent me for it.

It just makes everything worse when your parents pretty much hate you. Please help.
