How Can Depression Caused By Family Issues Be Treated?

i've been really down lately, i've had a lot of upsetting things go on in my life lately, my dad had an affair with some woman, and it feels like me and my mum wasn't good enough i feel soo rejected, and i feel like giving up on life, theres been a few mental illness in my family but i do not no what. ever since i found out about my dad i've been eating a lot, and i've gained alot of weight, i've always felt bad about the way i look but it has never been as worse as it is now. I've been self harming hoping it will help, which it has, but im only 14, and none of this really seems normal. I feel like pushing people away is best, soo it dont end up hurting them, but it also feels like the worlds against me, like i've dont something bad and karma's coming back to get me, please help me!

Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. I can understand your emotions. You were and are disappointed with what happened in your family. Fine. That does not mean that you will ruin your career and future for what happened in the past. You should come out of that disappointment and move forward and plan your life and future. Positive thinking about your future helps you be happy and focused today. Negative thinking about future destroys even your today. Keep this in your mind. Because you hinted at binge eating and weight gain, I suggest you to consult apsychologist for advise on eating disorder. Exercise, keep yourself physically and mentally fit, forget past, enjoy your education and career, have friends and enjoy with them. Your past lives only when you think about it, otherwise it has no existence.

If you still need my assistance in this regard, please use this link. http://goo.gl/aYW2pR. Please remember to describe the whole problem with full detail.

Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.
Good luck.
