As I have told you before, there are a great many ways to contribute to the household that don't involve money.
But above all, you have got to stop this expectation that you are owed things in your life. It is unfair to the people around you and definitely not healthy. I dare say that there are people in your life that, while initially feeling helpful, have encouraged this view. You can't count on this continuing. Please, please, please realise that you need to stop expecting and start doing.
I am sure you have been asked before but the answer I cannot recall. What kind of help do you get? Counsellor? Therapist? Psychiatrist? This really needs to be at the top of the list of things to discuss.

Hey, Thanks for trying to help but I don't mean to be rude but this advice is unhelpful and only is making me feel worse about my depression and state.
What I'm looking for is more a way to control myself or stop feeling so hurt over these things.
Oh and I believe a parent is responsible for their child's life and all forever! not just 18 years! Noone really chooses to be born :c
And I rather not think in rules like this. I'd obviously get a job if I could and I'm trying my best, in the meanwhile? My dad is paying for what I need like he always used to. And I'm obviously thankful and try to help him in anyway I can!
