My dad once a few years ago snapped something like that at me, only with much more swearing and mocking and shouting.
I knew he was reaching, and knew it. Despite those lines, I knew he regretted it, and it didn't have any weight on me. Also because I hadn't been drama queening at all.

When I was younger, mostly from my siblings whom I no longer speak to.

all the time.....family knows i have the diagnosis of major depression but they believe i am just making it up for attention so we dont talk due to that and many other reasons.....it hurts doesn't it?

I always say that no matter how good intention-ed friends and family are, if they don't suffer from anxiety and depression, then they just don't really understand. I don't think they intend to be hurtful..their brains just aren't wired that way so they have no frame of reference. Hugs!

A former roommate once said something like that to me years ago -- that I must "be getting something out of" being depressed -- because of that comment and many other comments/actions, I later realized that the saying, "With friends like you, who needs enemies?" applied to her very well...

Yes, I get that, a lot. My cries for help have been reduced to cries for attention many times. My depression has been explained away as a weakness in my character. I've heard these things so many times I've even started to wonder if they were right and I was just flipping crazy! Excuse my language, friends. Nothing wrong with crazy, I suppose. I've had some people say I'm the good kind of crazy! Ha ha ha ...
Maybe I've worried too much about what others say? And what's so wrong with needing attention? I know the answers are in my head. To this one... I say, we can't worry about what others say or think. Period. We know what's in our minds and hearts, and even if we don't, we, for sure, don't need to believe what other people say about us.

I haven't talked you to before so I went to your profile to get a little history before saying anything. Many years ago when I was growing up, my sister and brothers and I never got much attention either, We grew up with alcoholic parents. Have you talked with your Mom about the depression and how you are feeling? If you haven't, try to tell your Mom so she can get you some professional help. A doctor may recommend medication and/or talk therapy.

OMG Happens all the time. The other day I told someone about how bad my depression/anxiety is. The person told me it's no excuse. When i was first diagnosed with depression/anxiety. I ran into someone I knew. She wouldn't talk to me. I asked what's going on. I was on temp assistance at that time. She heard wrong that i was getting so much money on temp assistance. She than said to me that her sister is a doctor and she has depression and she's OK. People do that all the time. People just assume that everyone who has depression/anxiety its all the same.

Nobody has ever said that to me because I keep it to myself. I would no more dream of telling a normie that I have / have had depression, than I would try to explain advanced physics to a three yr old. Actually, I'd have a better shot with the 3 yr old and the quantum physics.

Teenies at school are always banging on about wanting to die. It's a shame really, because they all do it so automatically (just go read tumblr for three minutes) that people who have genuine problems get overlooked - and what's more, certainly some of those teenies talk themselves into a kind of negativity that can lead to social failure, that can certainly eventually lead to depression.

So it's kind of wrecking things both ways.

The right person to talk to about depression is the school guidance counsellor, and i certainly would not waste my breath on anyone else. Everyone else: plaster that smile on. Grit your teeth, and have fun.
