Felling quite deppressed lately
Im sorry this is long I have just kept it in for a while. So here is the thing my life has been quite depressing lately. My family life right now is crazy and so is my personal life. My parents are unhappy and I think considering devorce and I tried to get every one in the house to talk to one another and tell each other how they felt, it seemed like it helped a bit but then things went back to the way they always were. I constantly see my mother crying and I ask her what is wrong and try and help but she just ignors me. I assume my brother dose drugs and have heard from many people he dose and have seen him I tried to talk to him about it but it was to no avail. I was diagnosed with deppresion when I was very young I am no 17 and I was on medication for a very long time and had been taken off it last year. Things had been good but now I can feel my self becoming deeprssed again. Is it becasue I am surounded by family that is deppresing and freinds who are deppresed by their own problems that I am becoming deppresed? Lately things havent been exactly the best between me and my girlfriend either like the other day I flipped out on her when for no reason later realizing she only was trying to help. It feels like Im either pushing everyone away or being abandond by the people around me, and my self getting more angry at the peopel I love as family and friends. Am I just being selfush and should I consider getting back on the medication or trying to do more to help those around me?

It does sound like your on the road towards depresson with all the stress at home and with friends. I think you should talk to your GP and see what they think about going back on medication. Also you should explain to your girlfriend how you feel and and let her know it wasn't her falt that you snapped at her and you realised she was only trying to help. As for doing more to help those around you it sounds like you've made the effort to talk to them however, there's only so much you can do/say, the rest is up to them.

The hardest thing to realise is that sometimes you just can't help people no matter how much you want to or try because they have to help themselves.
It sounds to me like you may be on the road to depression again by what you have described and the situation at home could very well be a large reason for this. Feeling helpless while everything around you falls apart (especially when it's family and friends) is enough to bring you down really hard. I would suggest firstly that you speak to your family doctor and explain the situation and see if he/she does advise you go back on the medication or not. It could just be that you need time away from everything that is happening around you. I've been at breaking point myself when friends unloaded all their problems and stress on me constantly and it was like having piles and piles of bricks put on my chest. What made it worse was not being able to talk to them about my own problems becuase they all had so many of their own. It got to the point when someone did try to talk to me to try help me I unloaded all that stress on them. Speak to your gf and explain you're sorry for what happened and you understand she was just trying to help - try and resolve things with her. As for things with your mom and brother - you shown them the path and now it's down to them to walk down it. As I said above, there's only so much you can do.
Speak to your family doctor and see what he/she recommends and in addition, if you can, consider taking a break or a holiday away from home for a little while. Getting away from the environment you're surrounded by may help you clear your mind some.
Good luck.
