My sister mocks my depression, I'm going over the edge! Please help! (serious help)?

I understand what you're going through. And I hope that you will find something, someday that will make it all dissappear.\n\nAs harsh as I may sound, I don't think your sisters reaction is normal. She is being overly zealous. May be she should have herself checked out also. \n\nAlso, do you fight a lot. Is this just mere sibiling rivalry. Have you tried winning her affection?. If this is not the case, i suggest talking to your parents about your sister, and she might want to visit a behaviour consultant.

I wonder the same thing. I try not to think about my sister hating me but it is really hard. My sister has caused problems between me & my mother just by doing things like you said: she would pick everything just to hurt you. I have shown my mother proof from my doctor that I am really ill & that I am dying but oh no my sister tells her that I am lying so now my mother refuses to talk to me. She says I made everything up even the letter from my doctor with his signature & the letter was written on letter head paper. Go figure. I made it all up. I wish that I wasn't dying. My sister says that she can't deal with my illness. I passed out one day asked her to take me to the hospital, says she can't deal with me. I don't know why she hates me. and I don't know how to handle it except for focusing on one day at a time. I have my husband and my daughter with me. She even told my husband something that my daughter did at her home, she was grounded for 8 months and then 2 months ago I found out from one of my other sisters that it was all a lie. she wanted to cause problems between my husband & I. She thought he would leave me over it. She has major problems. She has 2 daughters by her 4th husband. but actually the 1st one belongs to his brother but she confided in me not to tell him and I haven't. It has been 7 years and he still does not know. I don't cause her problems why cause me problems. Why can't she just love me? I love her with all my heart. I wish your sister would love you too. Maybe they are having emotional & mental problems and they have focused on us to take it out on so that they can live with it. I wish  you the best of luck in working things out with your sister. I am trying but to no avail.

It is very common for people to feel guilty for asking for help. Many people feel like they are just trying to 'act sick for attention' or whatever.  I believe that you want help and think you need it. You are not acting and not just seeking attention even if that is what part of you might be whispering.  I don't know you, but it sounds like you are having a very awful time right now and I really do believe that you are of great importance to those around you even if that doesn't remotely seem true.  Heck, I happy to even have you here to be typing to you.  Death is just too final.  You are taking antidepressants so perhaps these feelings of suicide are coming from the mood disorder you are suffering from.  It is nothing to be ashamed of! many many people suffer from things like this.  Believe me that it can and will get better! This is just one phase of your life and you have so much more joy to confront as you continue to move through life.  Seek help.  Call up a help hotline, they can be very helpful.\n\nHelp is out there.  I hope i have done a bit to help you. It is not much, but I don't want you to keep the world from having someone as special as you.\n\nAlso, I don't know how old you are, but younger adolescents sometimes react poorly to antidepressants and it can make them suicidal.  Call up your doctor.  Find the number and just call him yourself if you don't think your mom will help.  This may or may not be the case, but something to ask your doctor about.\n\nI will hope and pray that you will come to know how much of a joy you are to the world and that you will get past this and find out that this was a rough patch.... very rough.. but has passed.  It will pass. Find help and believe you can get past this.

If you suffer from chronic depression I would suggest you consult with your physician.  Depression is serious but it doesn't mean that you are crazy it means you suffer from a chemical imbalance.  It's nothing to be ashamed of and it's nothing that you brought on yourself.  Please see you doctor as soon as you can.  Once everything gets evened out you will feel good again.  Good Luck!!!

First of all lets take the judgmental statements such as wrong and weird out of the equation. They are shamming words and you have nothing to be ashamed of. You may be suffering from depression which is a common ailment these days. Depression is simply a deficiency in certain brain chemicals that produce a feeling of well being. Your family doctor can be of great help. If you do not seek the help you need your condition could worsen and produce some real tragic consequences in the long run. So, there is nothing wrong with you as a person. You are fine and you are courageous to ask the question. You simply need a little help to get you back on track.

Keith, you are presenting with the symptoms of Depression.  What you are going through is not your fault and there is help for you.  I believe medication would be beneficial, but I also understand that going to a doctor right now may be more than you are able to manage.  I urge you to call the suicide prevention hotline 1-800-273-TALK.  I am truly concerned for you.  You may also e-mail me through Yahoo Answers. Take care and let me know how you are doing.\n\nKeith I wrote my response  to you yesterday evening but I have heard nothing from you.  Are you ok?  Please give an update.

Perhaps I can help you out a little.  I have been dealing with a bout of depression for about a year now.  So I understand your situation.\n\nIf your friends seem to be distancing themselves from you, perhaps you should voice your concerns to them.  Ask them if you have done something to offend them, because you feel that they are shutting you out of their lives.  If they do not offer any answers, perhaps it is time to find some new friends.  \nPeople change over time, so do their opinions of others.  \n\nYou really should not allow it to hurt you physically.  True loosing a friendship is a traumatic event, but you have to be able to move on.  If you begin to dwell on why somebody dislikes you, you may miss out on forming another friendship with somebody else.\n\nI'm sorry you are feeling "down" from all of this.  All I can say is keep your head up, and live your life to suit YOU, and not those around you.\n\nI wish you all the best of luck in working through this situation.  If you ever need to just talk to somebody with a sympathetic ear, you can feel free to e-mail me anytime.  jam961@yahoo.com\n\nTake care, and God Bless You!

awww.... thats reely sad and i have suffered from the same thing!! try listening to happy music and instead of listening to depressing stuff music has a big part in depression and  not talking about it compleatly to any one and shutting your self out ,wright  how you feel or what your thinking about and it'l just get your mind off it... it works pretty good and try going to see a counceler.. even though they might not be able to know whats wrong right away you just need to talk about it to someone no matter what ,cause if you keep it all botled up inside your never gonna be able to talk or trust any one anymore.. and with you r mom she's probably just worried about yoyu i know it may seem like she's yelling and thinking your sooo dum but she's just confused on how and why you feel this way..\n and it's okay to cry .. the only thing is that if you cry too much the littlest bad news will just be like the end of the world.and dont think about it soo much just relax and pray to God to give you peace in your mind and soul.\n and ask your doctor about taking some antidepresents and then see how you feel after a while..\n\n   but you need to talk about it with someone it's not healthy phisically and mentaly. your not alone i feel the same way al ot of the time and i'm on some meds and if you want some one to talk to you can talk to me.. even though you dont know me it's just good to talk about it with some one .and parents they wont understand compleatly but they just want you to be okay so wright a letter to you r mom telling how you feel and stuff..

Hey Cee Jay.\n\nI too am a Christian who has battled depression. Depression is a horrible thing.  People, especially Christians, who have never fought a "true depression"  just do not understand.   I was under a severe depression for 7 years.    \n\nFirst I want to say that I do not know if the sin you were referring to was the cause of your depression.  You seem to think there is a connection.    So I am going to base my response to the clues you left in your question.   \n\nPlease, hang on to the relationship you have with Christ with all that you have within you.  Do not let your sin, or others cruelty tear you away from Jesus.  Please, even if your depression keeps you from going to church at times, hang on to Jesus.    \n\nDo not let the stress of your recurrent sin get you so down.  Use this spiritual block of yours and turn it into a stepping stone.  \n\nTake some time to be with Jesus.  Pray by talking to him in as you would anyone else.  Try to be calm while you are talking to him.  Don't be afraid to say what ever comes to your mind.    If you are being honest with him and yourself - your healing can begin.    God will not be angry with you.   \n\nMedicine did not work for me.  They may work for you.   I had to claw my way out of depression.  When you help yourself overcome depression you will be truly free.   It can be a long hard road.  But I am here if you want talk.   I hope this helped.  May God bless your jouney.

This is a tough place for a young woman to be! You are going through an emotional time anyway as you enter puberty. Have you talked with your sisters and do they acknowledge the way she treats you? Maybe one of them will be kind enough to tell your mother how her actions are affecting you. My other suggestion would be to speak with a minister or your school guidance counselor, perhaps have a family session. Please know you are worthwhile despite all that is going on. love to you.

Therapy is something one can only start by himself/herself. You may suggest it but pushing the issue may only trivial your relationships with your sister. You can tell her that you are worried about her, and really want to help in any way you can (make sure to use "I" vs. "you"- so that you are letting her know how you feel about things without putting a judgment on her. The best you can do is be there, be supportive, be non-judgmental, open-minded, and kind... So that she will turn to you for help -which she will only do if you make her feel safe to talk to you about anything... \n\nIt is always difficult to see friends and family go through tough times but it is their journey, and their load to carry... And you have to learn to let go and accept that this is her life... Just make sure to be there for her. In the long term, it will make all the difference... Good luck...

Maybe it is time for you or one of your Brothers to go visiting with Mom and Sis. I think it sounds like there needs to be more communication between you siblings.\nDoes your sister have anyone that relieves her ever? Is she stuck there 24/7, 365 days a year?\nDon't get me wrong, I love my Mother but she came to visit me for a month and I was so ready for her to leave. She is in good health but she lives in the past. She tells the same stories over and over to the point that I had them memorized myself. \nMaybe it is time for your sister to take a long break, since she is verbally abusive to your Mom. She might be feeling that she is entitle to any money because of the time that she has put in.\nSomeone with suicidal tendencies shouldn't be in charge of any one else, little lone a person in ill health.

I am sure that they will "be funny" again.  Your personality sticks...the depression might alter it a little but they will spring back to normal.  Support them, be there for them.  If this person you are talking about is you, confide in a friend.  It's okay to cry and be depressed for a while.  It might be almost embarrassing to let that vulnerable side show since you/they were always the "funny and happy" one.  Trust me, you will seem even more real and likable when people see your human and have bad days...even if these days last for awhile.  Also, no one is too good to seek professional advice.  I'm not saying run out there and get put on medication, but you might need an extra boost to get back and going..whether it's just medical advice or whatever.  Good Luck.

Hi it must be awful for you but sometimes grown ups act in really silly ways. Try as hard as you can to keep out of it, do you have a aunt or cousin you can talk to? Once everything has calmed down quietly explain to your mom how much this is all upsetting you. If you are really suffering or feel that you are in physical danger ask a teacher at school to help you.  and don't worry...it will probably make you a stronger person.
