If you have been depressed since the age of 8 then you need to see a doctor, seriously.

Firstly i would say you are unhappy not depressed.
My parents split when i was 15 it was the worst thing ever.
I know you are going to think my advice sucks and i dont know why your mum and dad split.
At the end of the day your dad is happy, stop resenting his new woman maybe she isnt the eveil witch you think she is.
She wont ever be your mother but if you give her a hard time she wont ever be your friend either.
I have had depression and trust me there is no way you coulda gone all this while without someone noticing ok.
You are old enough to talk properly with your dad try again ok but maybe try a different angle.
Im on your side here i been there myself my friend, and i wish you good luck ok

i agree. find someone to confide in. talking it out is always a good idea. second thing to do would be to start a journal to record how you feel and what triggers your depression if anything. Also, having a nice sit down talk with your father would help if you could get him alone. good luck.

A book that has helped me a lot deal with all of my negative and repressed emotions is called “Care of the Soul.” It is not a Christian book. Though it would help a christian or a non-christian. Basically it has turned almost all of my negative emotions into highly enjoyable experiences.

The book talks a lot about the shadow side of family. There is also a section about depression alone.

I have read about 30 philosophy, psychology, and spiritual books this year. That is one of the best if not the best (in my opinion.)

High five.

It’s time to get some help mate. You can not keep hating this woman for being part of your Fathers life. I am sure if you started cutting her some slack your Dad will be more open to spending quality time with you.

i know exactly what you are going through. my parents divorced, i moved to a different town for my mom to re marry didnt talk to my dad for two years, then got kicked out of my moms house n now live with my dad n we have a wonderful relationship now, im also 17. im depressed. but, i have been to therapist in the past and let me tell you, the drugs they give you make you happy. horrible advice but they work. you also have to keep your head up high and realize how young you are n you have your whole life ahead of you..thats the only thing that keeps me going. your relationship with your father isnt doomed forver! maybe youcan change something in your life to help it. if not there is always finding another soul mate for yourself. later in life, but even a fling can help keep your mind off things. and then of course theres always going to a party n getting drunk making a couple horrible decisons n regretting it later…but its a quick fix.
