I don’t really know where to start with all my emotions because they are very confusing even to myself. I’m 14 and I had depression when I was about 12 or so and I had suicidal thoughts every day. In that time I saw the world in this very ugly way like if there was no more innocence or beauty. I was able to get over my depression by myself (my mom didn’t believe I actually had depression and I didn’t know who else to tell) and with the love of God. After that experince I learned to look at life with great gratitude and to love the people that surround me. Once I went into high school I felt so much better. I currently love the school that I’m in I’ve made lots of friends that I really care for and that make life worthwhile. But at home its really bad. My family was homeless a few weeks ago until we found a really nice house for rent and we moved in. I had the idea that everything would change once we moved in, no more fighting, my sister not being a douche like always. But I was wrong like always. My family is kinda messed up in many ways. My mom suffered from domestic violence with my dad and my sister lived through it for 5 years and then after my mom left my dad my sister and her have been fighting non stop. When you grow up in a family where fighting is something normal you get sucked into it which is what happened with me. I dont have the best relationship with my sister or mom and me and my sister hit each other and tell each other a lot of bad things. I don’t like going home at all to tell the truth, I hate when my mom says she’s outside my school ready to pick me up because I dont want to leave. I feel safe in my school, I feel welcomed, cared for something that I dont feel at home. I feel as if my friends are my family and that I can do or say whatever I want and everyone would still love me. But that’s not how I feel at home. When I get home I become very quiet and withdrawn the complete opposite of how I am in school. Well lately I’ve been getting into fights with my family and my suicidal thoughts are back. They only last a few moments but in the back of my head I keep thinking maybe I will be able to rest if I kill myself. Ive lost hope that my family life will get any better and that I myself will become a better sister or daughter and I feel that the only time I will be freed from this is when I die. Its not that I want to die because I still have the idea of me getting married and falling in love and having a life but I feel that if I do die I won’t have to feel pain or deal with my home life. Ive also looked for other alternatives, cigarettes, weed, alcohol, anything that can help me forget about the world for a while. I really dont know what to do. I’m so tired I feel like death will set me free. Please if there’s anyone out there that can help me please do. I feel like I can’t get out of this one alone

If you were older I would recommend maybe running away or moving in with someone, but I’m not sure if that’s a viable option for you.
I think that your problem might be in part situational, and if you get out of that you could get ‘better’.
When your family is fighting, is there any way you can remove yourself from the situation? go outside or to a friends house?
