    Default Depressed and sad from what my brother said...

    I've got to say I have been very sad/depressed about what my brother had said about me awhile back. Well it all started with my moms car breaking down. I had made the comment that it's what happens when you buy crappy cars. Well appearantly this upset my brother and so he came in and told me so. He pretty much made me feel i was a spoiled rotten brat and I was lazy and didn't deserve anything and was ...IT all started with a legal matter in the past that required a law suit between my mom and a hospital and to which i get a small check each month in which it was for when i was older to get on my feet and start school and made sure i could afford to live on my own later in life. Now what is upsetting the rest of the family they think my mom is taking the money from me since she's unemployed..well now my brother assumes because of this i expect everything to be easy and handed to me because i get this small check each month...now with my mom being unemployed she still tries to do the best for me and scaraficing doing things she needs to do but she chooses to do for me cause she loves me and gives me the things i need and it hurts me that my brother thinks that way of me because i am not that kind of person and I'd give anything to everyone if i had it. It kills me that he thinks this way..Makes me feel like ...All i want to do is find work and go to school just like any other 23 yr old. I hate I have this hanging over my head and i hate even more what he said about me. I am in a deep state of depression... I also worry about paying my bills and other matters...I just had to get it out...I can't stand this anymore

    Unfortunately, we cannot control what others think or do. We can only control ourselves. It sounds like your thoughts are running away from you...like they're out of control. What you need to do is find someone you can talk to...perhaps a counsellor or a therapist. You could also take out some books from the library about self-help and how to improve your confidence.

    I don't think it's healthy for you to feel so bad about yourself or about the problems in your life. Try to do things that help you feel better and try to find some help.
