I was having a blah day yesterday. Wasn’t horrible so I guess that was a “good” day. Then at night as I was heading to bed, I just somehow started thinking about my family (which is *never* good) and all the sh*t they did to me and I just got so angry and so sad and started crying.
I’m wondering how many people here on SP have a good family and yet still suffer from depression? I feel like most people who have depression have their depression stem from having a bad family or a bad childhood.
Let’s do a tally.
__ Good Family
__ Not Good Family

I’m not sure how I would answer this. My family is a good one, they care, they try to do what they think is right for me. But they aren’t a good family for me. I don’t want people to help me. I hate asking for help. My moms Mormon and very religious and I didn’t have a choice of going to church. I hated it and because I was forced to go to the Mormon church, I now hate that religion and it will be very hard for me in the future to be converted or interested in any type of religion. My family is a good one, but it wasn’t good for me. I needed one that can keep their distance and care less about me. So in my opinion, they are a bad family. But objectively, they would have been great for another child. I wished so many times as a kid that I had a different family and I still wish this.
I don’t really know whether my family is good or not. They are good when they have to be. We take care of each other and all that. They love us. Then there are bad times. Like the horrible fighting, the nasty things both my parents do and say when fighting. The things my father does when he’s drunk. But they always take care of us. I’m really not sure about my family.
I would say a neutral-ish family. Many years they have been married but its never really worked. I’m 22, so I’m really pathetic. I feel like a child in an adult body. Alot of stuff that I don’t like… too much to explain, and stuff I did like, again a bit too explain. But they let me stay with them…
The worst I got was being called ‘retard’ for years for being a mouth breather, I haven’t seen any other Eurasian do that so I failed. I know I’ve failed in life. So fucking what? Death isn’t so bad 😛 now I’ll be waiting 50+ years as I cant fail
Dad is an alcoholic, usually cant go a few days without drinking (unless money runs out)
Mum, well, so pushy… ‘my way or the high way’. Sorta. Both my parents can be nice, there is waaaay worse parents out there than mine. Mum cleans up most of the place. Allegedly been putting down my father for years and years and years. Sadly its true. But alcoholism… I mean, i fucking hate it, but he wants to escape the shit…
I’m a burden
Refer to my username ^^. Oh, I’m a weakling too
My family are great – I fucked this up all by myself.
I have a grrat family that is happy. All my sisters have famimies of yheir own. And they worry about me.. I hate myself. But am happy they are there for me. But i hate myself
My family is alright but they are all about looking good and keeping up with the Jones. They are fake and as miserable as my ugly poor ass. Good thing they always got money to shout me a drink. :p
62% of my family is great and of the immediate family that i live with 4/5 are top notch. Of that 1/5 that isn’t great, that being 20%, 85% of that 20% is at least trying not to be a total douchebag, but the 15% left of that is so utterly insufferably hateful that it most likely will destroy 100% of what I have been working for in my list these past 12 years.
Damn i love that number crunching!
I’d say I have a good family. It’s just one person who is negative and didn’t even want me to be born or whatever but I’m decent with her.
