I have a couple of people in my life who tease me and berate me when I get depressed. Has anyone else experienced this?

I have a bad habit of writing depressed status updates on facebook, just when I'm feeling really desperate and usually because I have some alcohol in me that's impairing my judgment. I think these two have some issues of their own - insecurity, wanting to feel superior to others, wanting to avoid looking at their own issues. I've tried in the past to explain to them rationally that sometimes I can't help feeling that way and that it's harmful to tell someone that they're wrong for being depressed. But it always ended in more anger and ridicule from them. Now I just ignore it but it still bothers me to an extent.

I suppose I could remove them from my facebook, but I guess there's a part of me that's so desperate for attention that I'll take even negative attention. I've got to work on regulating my emotions better too I guess.
