Nothing to be depressed about

My friend said to me that I have nothing to be depressed about and now I'm really upset she said that.

I was with three of my friends. we're freshman in hs. we were all sitting at a table and talking. my friend said "i don't feel like doing anything. let's just all sit here and be depressed." and i said yeah. and then she said to me, "you have nothing to be depressed about." Then she said "Yeah so your mom yelled at you today but my mom slapped me"

i was mad because my two other friends are the ones that really have nothing to be depressed about. i just smiled.

I didn't say anything.. was like...well what does *my other friend next to me* have to be depressed about? She said well her brother is a douchebag. and i was like..SO IS MY SISTER!!

The reason she thinks I have nothing to be depressed about is because i am the type of person who does not talk about my problems. i feel embarrassed to talk about what goes on in my family and i would start crying.

my sister is in college and still lives at home. she goes out everyday and gets drunk ever since high school. i think she's an alcoholic. she dropped out of college for a semester. she screams and fights with my mom and dad and it recently got out of control. she now sees a psychiatrist. she lives at home, but i don't even talk to her.

my dad is literally bipolar. sometimes he will go completely psycho. the most recent and scariest time my dad got up at 1 am and my sisters room is right next to this. my sister was talking with her best friend. then my dad started screaming "YOU BITCHES GET OUT OF THE HOUSE!!" a lot more screaming was done but it would take forever to type on here. he then went into our bathroom and threw everything into the bathtub. i was so scared. i was in my room shaking and i was bawling.i had never in my life been that scared. i could not stop shaking.also, the next day we found out the neighbors called the neighborhood security on us. my dad has done stuff like that many times. and i barely talk to him.

my mom and i argue daily. she has hit me before. but yeah. and i dont open up to her. she is barely home because she works so much. i also know she is cheating on my dad with a 28 year old guy. my mom is 41. its a long story about how i know. she calls him her assistant for work but he's not. my dad knows because he has yelled about it when he has gone psycho. my mom and dad hate each other and my mom is planning to divorce him and move out with me. anyway, my mom and i are constantly yelling and screaming.

i got really into detail, but that's the kind of stuff i don't talk about with my friends because it's embarrassing. and they don't know how dysfunctional my family is.

so for my friend to call me out and say i have no family problems makes me really mad. because my two other friends have normal families. and they make a big deal when their parents yell, but for me it's like that everyday.

i know other people would not make such a big deal about their friend saying that, but now i can't stop thinking about how she thinks i have no problems. and she thinks my other two friends do.
