I'm almost 13 and this has been going on for about 2 years I always get really upset over nothing convincing myself I'm just a menace to my family and my friends only hang out with me out of pity. I'm not good at talking to my family so most the time I just sob quietly at night or leave the house for a few hours. I don't know how many times I've collapsed out of exhausten from living. I don't cut myself I get to scared and I've thought of killing myself but never acted on it. Cronic depression runs in my family I don't know if I have it or if I'm just being over emotional? I had kind of a rough childhood my pare4nts divorced and then my mother tried to steal me when I was 5. My step-dad and sister didn't get along and so my older sister blames me. She says it's my fault he hated me that I would always just be a replacement for her. No matter what my hobbies are she always says I'm horrible at them and when I argue she says I need to learn to accept "constructive critism". I might just be being whiny or is this a serious problem? Please help.

Well first, I'm sure your family and friends don't think that about you. I mean maybe your like me. I think the worst when things get bad or life starts going down. Secondly I kind of know where you are coming from. My parents divorced too. Third don't let the things your sister says get you down. I'm sure there not true. She could be letting anger she has out on you, or maybe she feels replaced and is blaming you. Don't let that get you down. Fourth you are not being whiny, you probably need someplace to let all your problems out. And last I say if you feel like "help" would... well help then go ahead. ^_^ Maybe you just need a friend to talk to. One who will listen.
