Depression Support Group
Depression is a real and debilitating condition that is often misunderstood by family and friends. Its meaning can range from a prolonged period of sadness to an actual mental illness with specific symptoms. Find and share experiences with others who are going through the same struggles.
something is going on in my family taht is worse than the usual awful. way worse. i'll prbalby write more about it in my journal tomorrow. but the bottom line it that they are completely ingnoring me when i am in desperate need and saying somehoe their not helping me is my fault which is completely false.
i am having major crisis now and instead of being supportive they are ignoring me and being cruel, offering no support whatsover. in fact, i have one of the assholes in my house and i am taking care of her.
i am so angry tonight it's scary. i was screaming at her at the top of my lungs.
she still can't hear me.
i'm invisible. they don't hear or care.
i need to get her out of here before i do something i regret.
why is this happening to me. i cna't take the pain anymore. i can't take being ignored and gaslighted and tortured anymore by these people.
i don't have one kind person who truly cares about me in my life.

Does anyone follow her? She's really got some good tips.

I am sorry you are going through a crisis right now but the first thing I would recommend is take a second to calm down. People will always react to aggression with aggression because they may feel like they have to defend themselves against you.
I know you're venting but you have taken the first step for help and that's coming on here to talk it through with people. Please update us with why you are angry and maybe we can help you through the issues at hand creating such anger.
I am sure your family cares about you deeply but you need to meet them halfway and try to calm yourself and keep calm while talking about your issues.
Find a way to get your mother out of your house. Start searching for options.
Even if they aren't the best. You need to take care if your health. As long as your mother is in her right mind, then she is responsible for herself. Even if her choices are bad for her. I had to accept that with my mother.
Also, I think my mother does care about me some. I mean some times in the past at least she has cried when she was worried about me and my brother, I don't know, i used to think he did a little bit, but as i get older, i feel that way less and less and it's more their selfishness that become more obvious. i mean, i am not really hurt by my sister because we have hated each other for a long time and she is really really crazy, but my brother not helping in a crisis and my mom not really standing up for me...
i don't have other people in my life in real life so i am scared to just be completely alone.
I know that I will always maintain a relationship with my mom but i do think it would be much healthier if we werne't living togther.
as far as coming at people with yelling and aggression and than i should expect that in return, i agree. it's just that i have tried the nice way too for so long and just kind of lost it. it really doesn't matter if i speak to any of these people nicely vs. mad, they just don't listen. I'm not sure they do care, that's is what is so devastating. i do need to try to get a better grip in my emotions somehow. i'm trying. i'm just overloaded with problems and stress right now. thank you both
