If it wasn’t for my cousin, I would have left this family

I want to disappear, die in other words but I can’t because I have one special person she is my cousin shes a very important family member. I fear I have depression and bipolar disorder but my parents don’t care enough about me to get me help. My mum is an alcoholic and my dad doesn’t listen to me, I hate my whole family except for my two half brothers and my cousin. I want to disappear but I want to still be here it doesn’t make any sense but that’s how I feel. I want help but no one will give it to me so maybe I should just leave.

  1. Hey, whatever you do, never take the step that will end everything. Anyone who cares would never want that for you. I know how you feel. I struggled with depression for many years and I know how it sucks the life out of you. I also am familiar with parents who aren’t at their best. I know how people will say to ignore them and leave, but I also know how hard it is to do those things. After all, they are your parents. I want you to know that at some level, they do care for you. It may never be evident or shown, but they honestly do. I have been around many of these situations before. It can be hard to put up with though. That’s why you need to lean hard on your cousin and half-brothers. Life won’t always be like this. Trust me.
    With the possible disorders, make sure the people you can trust know. If your parents won’t bother to help, then you need support. You don’t have to do this alone.
    One more thing. You are an awesome person, you know that? Sometimes people hear that but don’t believe it. In fact, I was one of those people. However, No matter what people say or do (even your parents) you are an awesome person. You don’t have to impress anyone! You can just be you!
