Lately, for I guess a few months, I've dropped really really deep into depression. I'm just sad, alone, angry, upset, frustrated and most of all I just feel like I'm at a point where I don't even feel like myself. My sisters constantly gang up on me because they think I'm irresponsible and rude and immature, but I honestly only treat them how they treat me.

I don't have very many close friends anymore because they all found better ways to occupy their time. Usually, I'm very genuine, honest, kind, generous and level headed. I really just don't feel like I can take this anymore, I'm tired of feeling so lonely.

I just want to be happy and I feel like it really is never going to happen for me..

Thanks for reaching out for help with this depression. You are right, you cannot just live with this indefinitely without getting some relief. Please consider talking with a counselor or therapist to help with your emotions. They will not be able to make this feeling go away completely or right away, but they will be able to help you feel less depressed and more hopeful about your future.

As far as your family goes and the way they all treat you, try treating them with nothing but kindness regardless of how they treat you. You will be amazed at their reaction to this. Part of it is because they are being unkind and part is your interpretation of their intent because of the way your depression is affecting your reasoning.

Don't worry about your friends. Once you get some help and get back to the genuine, honest, kind, generous and level headed "you", you will have time to work on friendships. Until then, stay focused on helping yourself get better.

Ask your parents to help you find a professional in your area to help you.
