Dear Dr. Esther, My whole life I've been treated like a piece of trash. I'm seventeen and I don't want to live another 17 years like this. Today I considered suicide but I don't want to disappoint people around me. I don't know why I'm feeling like this.

My anger and mood swings and being irritable has to do with being depressed but my mom doesn't seem to understand she thinks I'm an angry person but it has to do with my self esteem issues and depression I've had for a while it's a never ending battle I struggle to be happy.
