Is this depression or just being too overly sensitive??!


Question: Is this depression or just being too overly sensitive!?!?
For the past few years, I've been through stressful situations!. I started college, got a boyfriend (whom my parents disapprove of because of interracial dating), have been overwhelmed with not-good-enough-for-them grades, and I don't seem to be getting along with my family!. I argue constantly with my parents!. They got my sister a dog a few years ago and no one took care of it except for me!. so we're always arguing over who should walk him, feed him, etc!. I found out that after I left to the dorms, they took the dog outside and now he basically is an "outside" dog!. I also have nephews too!. My sister isn't a good single mom!. She still acts like she's 15 and doesn't have kids!. So I feel like a 2nd mom already and I didn't ask to be one!. I'm having some health issues that my family is unaware of because they're so occupied with themselves!. Lately I've been wanting to pull the gun!. I've been crying a lot more and I don't know what to do!. I just want life to stop and let me breath again!. :(Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
Ya, it seems like you have depression!. I don't blame you, i think i would feel like that in a similar situation!. Suicide thoughts are normal though!. You just have to ask yourself: do I really want to die or do I just not want to be in this situation!. If you want to live you just feel your life is not worth living because it is too depressing then you need to make a change!. You need to find a reason to live!. Do you have anything you like to do like drawing or singing!?!?!? If you can find something like this you should do it for an hour a day or half hour or what ever you can spare!. Also it is important to realize you can only change yourself and not your family so try and not get so stressed about famlily issues!. Go for a walk and clear your mind and just BREATH!.!.!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

how old are you!. can't you move out of home yet!?

there seems to be some mild family problems, but you could probably do with some time apart!.

As for the depression, only someone could tell you in person, not over the net!. Just keep aware of it, and don't let it overwhelm you!. See a psych soon if you can!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

its terrible to hear you say that , get a counsellor
it seems to be alot about other peoples opinion of you ,
when your opinion of yourself is the most important,
your family sounds no good
i think your upset they dont accept you ,
but it doesnt matter how great you are , youll never be good enough for some people
you need more space from them , your not responsible for your sister or her kids
you need to be more selfish put your own needs firstWww@Answer-Health@Com

ok!.!.!.!.!.well it sounds 2 me that u are depressed ,BUT i think that anyone would be given the circumstance!.

im sure that things will get better eventually, ur parents cant controll u forever

u might feel better talking to a friend about it or something!.!.!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

its not either you just are going through alot

find a good friend and talk to her about itWww@Answer-Health@Com

I wouldn't say depression or that you're being overly sensitive i would say you are really stressed if you don't think your sister is a good mom then you should call social services maybe it would be best for the child!? I'm not really sure!. But maybe that would open her eyes and make her stupid acting like shes 15 or talk to her about her and as for the dog try to get someone else to take her how old are you!? if you're over 18 and don't have a job try to get a job (even if you're under 18 try to get a job) that way you wont be around your parents much and save up some money and get your own place to live (again if you're over 18) if you're not then maybe you could stay with a friend or join over school actitvies that way you wont be home as much or stay with an aunt/uncle or another close realive what health issues do you have!? i hope you're getting treated for them if not then you should asap even if its not a serious one YET it could turn into one take care of yourself stop worrying about everyone else in your family if no one is worrying about you but sucicide is not the answer you'll get through thisWww@Answer-Health@Com

I think you should see a therapist pronto!. You seem to be too hard on yourself saying your just overly sensitive but these are real issues, issues that need to be dealt with especially if you are entertaining the idea of suicide!. You need a close group of friends/family members you can talk to about your issues to help you deal with them and also relieve some of the pressure from yourself!. You especially need to talk about your health issues with someone!. It's not good to carry any burden alone!. My recommendation: try to talk to your parents and sister (seperately) about your concerns with how their behavior is affecting you (and in your sister's case her kids), talk to your friends about your troubles to divide the burden, and PLEASE speak with a Psychiatrist about all of these issues!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
