My family is slowly falling apart due to the effects of alcoholism, mother is always angry and my dad is always buried in his work and they're both extremely insensitive to me and my sister's problems, often finding the worst possible solutions and just generally being incredibly insulting and insensitive. Drives me crazy and it's almost impossible to be happy anymore.

My sister has a license and a job so I maybe see her about 10 minutes a day (and I personally don't blame her) but I'm not so lucky, I have nowhere to turn, really. The only real way I know how to cope with it is listening to music and just distancing myself away from everybody and finding support on the internet.

I can't stand being near my family, I love my parents and all that, but just don't wan't to live with them anymore.
I've been having real mental problems for the past few years and have even secretly went to a doctor to talk about it. He said I should visit a psychiatrist, but I haven't done that yet. I've talked with my parents as well, but they haven't done jack stuff.
Every member of my family has his own problems, but they all take their anger on me,
my dad thinks he had a bad childhood and can't control his anger and mostly runs around the house yelling at people. My mom spends 12 hours at work and has these really annoying mood shifts. She also loses control of herself sometimes and becomes really violent and destructive. My grandfather is spying on me because he thinks I'm doing drugs, he really annoys me and thinks he knows everything about me and keeps telling me I should stop seeing my friends, but he's just paranoid because he couldn't make his children stay off drugs (my aunt). My grandmother supposedly has a hatridge for men, because her father left her during the war, that's what my dad told me. And my cousin is an idiot.

I really don't know what I should do, I keep having dark thougts. I wan't to get rid of them so much, I can't get them out of my head for a second, from as soon as I wake up untill I finally fall asleep. This also sucks because I really want to be a positive person now but I can't, because I'm depressed and desperate all the time, I don't talk much and rarely smile.

Please help me.

I feel really bad for you, and I hope you can overcome your depression. Have you ever tried reasoning with your parents and relatives? It could work, I think you need a sit down conversation with your parents and most important family members and try to explain to them your problems and how they need to be more caring and willing to help you. Therapy could really help out your situation though.

Best of luck.

before you do anything about it take some things into perspective first, and I'm not being condescending, I'm giving you advice from someone who went through similar things.

I moved out of my house with my family to live with my grandparents, my family then disowned me (pretty obvious reaction), and I couldn't have communication with my two younger sisters.

At my grandparents house things were about the same, so I had two choices, move out on my own, or go back home.

One of those choices wasn't a choice because of the choice I made before, which led to my parents disowning me.

So now I live alone, and honestly there isn't a day that I don't wish to have that life back, living at home, joking with my family, hearing the noises of a home.  I made a mistake because I never realized that perspective means a lot.

A good saying is, the grass isn't always greener on the other side

Good luck to you

im in a similar situation except that my parents love me too much

[Daswiruch]

When I'm frustrated/mad/angry/anyoftheabove I like to listen to Skrillex (don't judge me.)
I also like to talk to my friends because they are supportive and actually listen to me.
