i just cant stay in my house and deal with my family anymore. i dont feel safe or happy at home i feel trapped and secluded. when im around my family i feel like im in a room full of strangers. its like they dont even know me at all. they show no interest in me except for when they need me to do something. i feel like a housekeeper. they dont understand what im going through at all, they thought that if i go see a shrink once that im magically fixed and now they think im depressed on purpose? i have no one to talk to about my issues at all, i dont want to be that girl who goes and complains about her life to people so i just bottle it up but it literally feels like im about to explode. my dad talks **** about me to everyone behind my back he acts like he only has one daughter, my sister fights with me over anything and throws insults that hit below the belt, im talking about the "go kill yourself already" and "nobody likes you anyway you ungrateful *****" kind of stuff, and my mom is too busy trying to act sixteen to notice, i could seriously go in my closet and hang myself right now and no one would know i was gone until they needed me to go do some dishes or clean the house. i want to move out, but i have no place to go and i dont even know if i could legally leave, i keep waiting for things to get better but theyre only getting worse. how much longer do i have to take this **** until i can leave? i dont care if i dont have a future, i just want one that's away from them for good.

Housekeeper???? Want to work for me LOL, Sorry for being a smart@@@. I see a lot here in such a short post. Have you seen a doctor? Stay away from the closet. Post whatever you want here. Very sorry that you are having to live like this. I myself do not know why people put each other down. Not good. These put downs really really feed our illnesses. Is there anyway that you can sit down with one family member at a time and explain your illness to them? If not find a doctor to talk to and take one of your family members with you and have them explain what depression is. Not sure but mybe you can find a book on depression at a library and have them read up on it. I wish you well, hope things get better soon, post as much as you like. If you get close to the closet. Get help, 911, a hotline, come to PC or go to your local hospital. Try to have a happy holiday..

Hello, La Bella Vita!
  • Sister: verbally abusive, demeaning
  • Mother: "too busy trying to act sixteen to notice"
  • Father: "talks **** about me to everyone behind my back"
Yes, I can see what you mean:

Is it possible your family needs you to be the "problem child" to allow them to pretend there's nothing wrong with them?

This is the kind of question a real counselor or therapist might address. Unfortunately, you are not in a position to go out and get that kind of counseling on your own. Do you have a school nurse? Is there someone at your school -- counselor, teacher, administrator -- known for being an advocate for youth in difficult situations?

You gotta open up...or else you will self destruct. I need to take my own advice, but I know I'm right. Don't worry about what others will think if you admit you need help. The human mind is not designed to keep all this inside.

Very good, I hope your new home will work out for you. One thing though if you are way down you really can't think about how others think. You have to take care of yourself first. Like going to a school counselor. No one needs to know what you are talking about with your counselor, I would guess that he has his own office. Please remember La Bella Vita first. Nothing is more important than yourself. Job well done for speaking to your cousin, I know how hard that was. Have a good day.

Could you pretend that you have been sent to the school counsellor for disciplinary issues?
