Having a bad day with depression?

So I have been stressed for a while; it's as though my whole family has been cursed. In June, my parents broke it to me that we were selling the family home, somewhere I had been in for 15 years and was peaceful and quiet. Now I am having to go and live down in the village with my Mum in this shabby **** house with noisy kids playing all the time etc, worst nightmare. Dad is moving to Edinburgh so I wont exactly see him much. My sister is going to Australia for nearly 18 months on work. I have no money coming in from my job and there is every chance I will have to go back to college to resit an exam because I did badly in it this year. My Grandad is very ill, and I have been giving up alot of time to look after him. We have a viewing on the house tomorrow from some snotty twat in Edinburgh who the credit crunch obviously hasnt affected. This has affected me badly, I want to do everything I can to put this w*nker off getting it. I have just screamed and shouted at my folks and am feelin

like crap today, agitated and sad. It's so bad I feel like I want to go and hit someone. I feel so angry with my Mum and Dad for putting me through this that I want to get back at them. Like get drunk in the woods and overdose. I havent told anyone this, as I find it easier to talk to people on here. It would feel like an O.D would be final and I wouldnt have to go through all this **** we are facing just now, what with the credit crunch and all this crap going on in life. Dont know what to do.

It may seem like the end of the world but its not. Everyone goes through rough times and it seems like things will never get better but trust me they do. I was living out of my car for the better part of 2 years so be thankful you have somewhere to lay your head and shower.Not to make light of what you are going through. I am sorry for your troubles. Exercise is a great stress reliever. Go for a run or something that will really get those endorphins going. Don't drink because alcohol only intensifies the mood that you are already in. Good luck with everything. Look to the future with hope, not despair.

If you need someone to talk to you can message me and I can help you out! We can think of ways to get back at your parents that does not involve you getting hurt! I am sure things will work out for you in the long run just try not to stress it to much, things will get better. Lets talk.

I am not unsympathetic, but really. You have a roof over your head and a loving family.
Not everyone does, you know?

we've all got problems..

I'm sure they must have their reasons for what they are doing and hard as it is for you try and support them, don't try and put off the buyer which will only cause resentment and not change anything in the long run. We all have problems now and then and I admit that at the moment you must think you have more than your share. O/D is a selfish answer really because while you will be out of it if you have any feelings for your family you need to think what it would do to them.

Try and work through the problems one at a time. The resit isn't the end of the world. I'm not sure how it is you get no money from your job but you can sort that out with a job change maybe. You can feel proud of how you are helping your grandad. Stick it out and when you do come out the other side you will feel so pleased with yourself.

I hope you can find something of help here on this site. Good luck.

What dya think would happen if you OD....you may succeed & your parents siblings & freinds will be angry at the pain they have at your loss, you may fail & end up disabled or in a worse mental state than you are now or you will be sick & feel dreadfull everything else will be the same....I guess your reason is attention & you may get your own way if ppl realise what a priority you are.
Help yourself go to the Doctor get reffered for counselling & in time with work & maybe meds you may come out of this as someone who can see how precious life really is no matter what the circumstances, many ppl have a crappy life but go on to achieve things in their lives - you could do this & you know what when you do your Grandad would be proud of you.

look i went through something like this. when i was 14 we lost our house, we had a car accident , my grandma died, we had to move to a new state to try and start over, i lost most of my friends that i had back home. tell you the truth i was depressed, but no one saw it. i went through it on my own and it was hard but i got through it. one day at a time. it helps when you just give sometime to yourself and do something that makes you happy. but things we get better. now if you are depressed and can't seem to get out of it after a while, you should get help. you know they say most people go through a depression at some point of their lives,but most get out of it after a few weeks.

That's tough. Losing the home after 15 years is a killer. I'm so sorry. If you leave in the end then you must start your plan of becoming rich to buy it back. That's your house and they shouldn't take it. I am sorry really I am. In this new house it seems bad as you say but in time you will adjust. Are they selling the home because they are splitting up? If so then scream your head off at them. How could they do that to you?
Your dad and sister may be going away for a while but they will be back and its not like they are going for ever. If you need to resit an exam and you are serious about passing then you will trust me. Your grandad will be very grateful that you are looking after him. Hopefully he will get better. Unfortunately the man buying the house will if he likes it. You can only now pray to God and believe me he will listen. He steps in when you think he won't. I am sorry. You know its only when people read questions like this that they realise how lucky they are. I am sorry for you really I am but remember somewhere out there someone is less fortunate. You will be alright don't worry. It is hard and you are very hurt but all you can do is try to sort it all out and don't forget to pray, It really helps.
Good luck and it will be ok.

look i know how hard it is suffering with depression and i know that when you feel bad you do feel like a final desicion has to be made but the truth is, however harsh it may sound, overdoses arent final, they are slow, painful and dont necessarily kill you. only 5% of overdoses actually succeed and you would just have a really bad record. trust me, you just need to keep yourself occupied until you are feeling better, and really appreciate how worth it it is that you aren't dead.

What good would OD do anyone? Haven't you thought that your folks are probably just as upset as you are about selling the family home? Don't you think your attitude is only making matters worse for the family unit? Insulting people you don't even know just because they haven't come across the same hardships as you is not only immature, it's counter-productive. Try to be part of the solution for your family, rather than adding to the problem.

it's clear that things are tough for you right now and I'm not about to patronise you by saying there are others worse off than you but the way I see it you have two choices, yes you could go down the woods and kill yourself, and yes that will end it for you but what about the people you leave behind, your mum and dad, your grandad, they will go through their entire lives devastated that they weren't there for you, you say they have no idea what they are putting you through but have you thought what it must be like for them, if they are selling your family home because they can't afford to keep it any more, then your mum must be feeling like the worst parent ever, like she has let her children down, like she has failed because she can't keep a roof over your heads, imagine how she is feeling, if you put this bloke off of buying your house what do you think will happen next? do you think the mortgage company will say 'oh well, never mind, just carry on living there' of course they won't, they will take your house. What your going through now and how to handle it will give you strength of character that will define your whole life, are you the sort of person who gives up when things get tough, or are you the sort who say, yes my life is **** at the moment, but I'll be bollocked if I let the bastards get me down, I'm a fighter and this will make me stronger. You can control how you react to your situation, at the moment you're letting it control you. It's your choice my lovey, I hope you make the right one for yourself and your family XX
