I am 18 years old girl. I weigh 95 kgs. I am gng through a lot of stress. I am the eldest child in the house. I live in joint family. There are Twp siblings of mine the younger one. They r good at almost everything and m not m just an average girl. So I feel inferior and my family members also think that m not useful to anything. I have tried to commit suicide in front of them but still they don't care. After that I know that even if I die there will be no difference in there life there is no way I can commit suicide just make them understand my existence. I need a permanent solution for this problem.

Committing or trying to commit suicide is not a way of showing our importance in others' lives. I can completely understand the level of stress you are going through, but there is always a better way of handling it. I sincerely feel that your depressive symptoms, self harm thoughts and being overweight could be a part of hormonal imbalance. So I would advise you to do a complete hormonal profile including thyroid hormones, serum dhea levels, serum testosterone levels etc. Consult a gynecologist to rule out pcod if you continue to feel depressed and have feelings of hopelessness nad worthlessness, I would recommend you to visit a psychiatrist personally and start treatment and counselling. Depression is treatable so are hormonal problem. I am sure you will feel much better after treatments.
