See... This is why I hate being depressed.
Yet.. a friend said that I have a reason and just because someone is worse off it doesn't meant people who cut and are bullied for being 'gay' or 'retarded', are abused, or shunned by family that they can't just.. stop feeling bad because someone is worse off.

What some of you have said has made me realize how lucky I am... O.O I have a nearly all Christian family, kind friends, and adult friends who are very kind. Sometimes I really hate my brother, who can be a pain in the tail, and sometimes I dislike my parents, and think they love my brother more than me, but they don't. They love us both equally. Although at times it's hard for me to believe that, I know deep down that it's true. I have no reason to be sad, and I hardly ever am. But sometimes I think that people can be a little unfair to me. I don't mean any of that in a mean, boastful way

I'm going to stop typing now, or I'll get depressed and cry. That's just me. Please don't think I mean any of what I have said in a boastful way, because I don't. I'm putting a perspective on it all...

God bless you all, and may he help you through tough times.

This is so nice! My mom always says 'You chose your own happiness and no one around you can influence your pleasant thoughts but you.'

Beautiful work (as always), the eyes are quite captivating.

And also, wonderful message. I too have been there and honestly my childhood wasn't the greatest either (honestly...my father was abusive.) I don't seek sympathy, I don't wallow in those sad moments of my life. I had many thoughts of suicide sometimes, but like you was too scared to go through with it, and am I ever happy now that I didn't.
If I had followed through with my sadness I would not be here. I wouldn't have the wonderful life I have now. I've experienced some painful things in my life, but through it all there was a small glimmer of hope. I've always had a loving mother, and now a loving husband and I couldn't be happier with my life. Sure there are some days better than others but there is no reason to go whining over it. Just let it go and move on because the longer you worry and feed that anger or depression the bigger it will grow and the more horrible you will feel, and make others feel.
Never forget that too, when you act the way you do when your mad or depressed keep in mind how it may makes other around you feel, like your parents...your friends. Don't ever be selfish enough to only think about yourself, it will never get you anywhere.

Anyways my point is, don't whine. Take a REAL look at your life and reeeaaaalllly think about it. Is it really that bad? Most likely no. Some days are hard, of course, but you can't wallow in your sorrow. You have to learn to pick yourself up, brush yourself off and move on. Life is what you make it and only you can make it better.
