Would your family be there?

Question

I have had a very hard year.  I have magor depression and it is getting worse I'm on medication and had different types of treatment.  My whole family lives about 2000 km away.  I'm single with limited friends.  I'm very Lonley and my family considers me a burden.  My question is would you be upset if your parents didn't attend your colege graduation.  They said they had to attend your younger brothers high school graduation.  Even though he didn't graduate!!  I had a suicide attempt last year it wasn't a cry for attention my goal was to die!!!  I took 32 20mg oxy and went to bed a friend found me and I was put in hospital.  Still no visitors and when released had to hitchhike home because I had no money.  Would you expect your family to be with you at times if need?  My parents have helped me finically but make me feel terrible for it and very undeserving.  If your child was in hospital would you go to them.  I spent Christmas alone as well.

Have a one-on-one talk with them. Tell them about your problems and how you feel about it. I am sure they would understand. Try to casually mention your suicide attempt, this might spark a sense of concern. If you have mentioned it to them and tried everything, may I suggest you get a better doctor. I'll be your friend :) xxx

i grew up in an over-caring family. my mother takes care of my like im still 10 and my dad wont let me date a guy unless my dad approves of him and im an undergraduate in college. i guess we are so opposite and our families differ. but i can tell you this my family is 9 people in one house and we eat each other up like animals for love, because we care. believe me i really love my family but sometimes it makes me feel like its too much you know. its no ok if your family does that to you and if all thats really happening then you need to stay away from your family, you dont need to owe anyone anything. you are your own person. snap out of the depression, look outside at some people get to know with them, make friends be your own new person. sweetheart if you dont change yourself then there's no use of being a person. you have to see whats good in this life and ditch the negative feelings. watch some comedy that helps me boost my confidence. watch melissa&Joe or something funny. i really dont want you to kill yourself. forget about your family, get a boyfriend and start seeking for a settle- down life which you will enjoy. i pass my positivity to you. i wish i knew you so i could be your friend. good luck sweetheart!

I have learned in the last year that most people are selfish (not all) I recently had two parents that have both went through cancer and none of my family supported me, it's sad and hurtful. I can't dwell on it or it would consume me. I would give everything for my daughter, if she was in your position I would not leave her side. Did you talk to you parents about this, they need to know. Maybe they just don't/can't deal with what you are going through? (Imagine that) We all go through our own S*it....good luck with yours!
