sometimes i'm really sad
If i compare mine to others, i have a good life, but sometimes I get really sad. I know what sometimes causes it like my parents making me feel like I only do things wrong, my friends saying stuff behind my back then acting like it was a joke, and feeling like I'm worthless. I try to stay positive, but it rarely works. I always end up thinking about the bad stuff and I can never get it out. It's like all my imperfections in my life and me are mocking me. A year and a half ago, I got so depressed that I resorted to cutting myself. I crumbled to the pain I constantly felt. And I couldn't talk to anybody about it. I can't tell my parents about it because they think that i'm too dramatic. Maybe I am, but I can't help it. I've stopped doing that, but when I have free time, I just think about all the crap that I've done and that's been said and thrown at me. I don't know how to stop it. I know I have to do it myself because nobody in my life understands. I feel so alone and empty. what should i do?

I'm guessing you're in school still? If so, please visit your school counselor as soon as possible. While mild depression is common among teenagers, what you are suffering from may be a clinical condition and require professional treatment.
If you are not in school, visit your primary care physician or look for counselors in your area. (If you're worried about cost, group counseling often costs much less.) While your primary care physician can not provide you with complete treatment, your doctor can be a valuable partner in your recovery and refer you to a therapist.

Dear "sometimes i'm really sad",
Happiness is a state of mind that occurs when you are working towards a worth while goal. Thinking about all the negative in something, especially with emotion will cause these things to manifest in every aspect of your life.
Cutting is extreme, and I am sorry that you feel you need to dull your emotional and mental pain with physical pain.
Here are a few things that I do to keep myself from letting negative thoughts occupy my mind.
Clear thinking will reduce the mood swings and help increase your level of coherent actions. Drama is usually a result of someone who has had bad food and their brain is altered. Use food to heal yourself. Beneficial foods act like medicine for the body, when avoid foods kill the body.

Attitude is everything. Set up a ring tone on your phone, or paste stick it notes on your mirrors, doors, ceiling above your bed, anywhere you look regularly.
Use this phrase "Attitude, attitude, attitude. It is the single most important factor to guarantee good results, day in and day out, for the rest of our lives." You may need to hear this phrase a dozen or more times a day for 6 months, but it will work if you set your mind to it.
People are going to talk about you behind your back. Your parents will continue to rat on you about whatever. They need to know that you are the way you are because of they way they raised you, Your attitude is their fault. It is a reflection of them. This is why they will lay the blame on to you for your 'dramatic' behavior.
After all, someone in your life taught you how to behave like this. You are a reflection of the ten people you spend the most time around. If that is your parents, then they are the influences that are bad for you.
The past is the past, make a clean start. Since your parents just think you are being dramatic, maybe you should check yourself into the hospital to get away from them for a while. They are not taking your cries for help seriously. You are obviously in and unhealthy environment, and in a lot of pain if you are cutting yourself. Use the time away to recover from the way you feel and reflect on the situation. Gain new perspective.

Cutting can lead to suicide attempts. You can talk to someone at the above link. Half way down the page it gives the number for the nationwide hot lines. Call and talk to someone that can help you. Otherwise, you can call Child protective services and tell them that your home life makes you want to kill yourself. They will do the rest. They may remove you form the home, put under observations and get you help.
Anyway you look at it, your current environment needs to change, otherwise you will get worse. My advice is to call someone who can remove you from the home, and place you in a more positive environment. While you are recovering, use the diet and attitude advice to heal yourself.
Love and peace be with you dear one.
Good Luck!
Doktor Tammy
