Aww, don't feel so down. I kind of have a similar situation except it's mostly with my dad. He just doesn't understand anything and swears he's right all the time. I just ignore him most of the time and despite us both living in the same house, I actually don't see him often. I suggest to continue being yourself and if your family is really hurting you, have a talk with them and tell them how you feel but don't feel sad or angry.

It's 4:03 and I can't sleep Without you next to me I toss and turn like the sea If I drown tonight bring me back to life... ~If You Only Knew- Shinedown
Well...*read BlueHatTimmy's comment below* if talking doesn't work...tell them that your friend Meg is ready to blow in there and KILL THEM WITH A FUCKING CHAINSAW!!! ... Orrrr...you could try another calm approach... One thing that really helps me when I feel down is to take my notepad or clipboard and walk. Even if you live in the city, there's still places you can go just to be away from home. It's good to get away, and the fresh air and exercise will work WONDERS for you mentally. Also, a lack of sunlight means a lack of vitamin D, and you could be developing Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) and that will really cause depression, even if your life isn't as bad as you think. Trust me, I've been there! And just remember that your family loves you all the time, even if they act like they don't. If you can't talk to your mom because she's strict about talking back, then you're taking the wrong approach; ask her if you can have a heart-to-heart sometime, and then just sit down alone...with NOBODY ELSE around. Make sure that you have her FULL attention and she has yours, and calmly explain how she's hurting your feelings and driving you away, and you feel like that's compromising your relationship, and even your friendship as mother and daughter. It doesn't always work, but I know that to my mom our relationship comes before EVERYTHING else. Parents really do want what's best for you, and they try REALLY hard to make things right between them and their kids, but sometimes they feel like they're failing as parents, so they get frustrated and tend to take it out on you.
I hope that helped, , feel better soon Janice, God Bless (=

Me: "Yeah...I couldn't sleep, so I got up and took a walk. Didn't pass the time enough so I started the dishes and the laundry." Mum: "..." *feels my forehead*
I know what it's like to have a parent that is so strict (and easy to upset) that you can't talk with them. My dad was that way. I had such a hard time as a teen because I was homeschooled so I didn't have any friends to hang out with. Well, not many, anyway. I had one. So sometimes I would get to feeling so lonely and trapped (we lived out in the country and both parents worked and went to school so my brother and I were home all day every day, by ourselves, trapped out there in the boonies, not even allowed to go outside until they got home at night.) So sometimes I would go to my room and cry and cry and cry. I remember one particular time my brother "told on me" for crying and my dad got me downstairs for a "lecture" which turned into a yelling/blaming session where he tried to get me to admit that I was just feeling sorry for myself and he yelled at me the whole time. I hated that time in my life.
But one thing you have to remember is that these things will pass. You just have to be strong and try to find your own ways to cope.
I'm sorry you're in such an unhappy situation.

I'm sorry to hear that. Your not alone. My dads the same with my sister and she doesn't even speak to him now. Have you tried asking them what's wrong with them? Cause you might need to sit down and talk to them if it helps, sharing problems always help.
I hope that your family snaps out of their moods soon and don't get all depressed. You need to be happy no matter what.
Hope it all works out
