"Sorry, I have another issue that isn't about bullying.. I have a really bad self-loathing/aniety/depression issues, and they can be sparked by just about anything. But lately I've been dealing with just feeling really insufficient and worthless as an artist, as a person, as a friend, and esp as a sister. I'm the oldest of six siblings, and I just really feel like they deserve so much better than me. I don't live with my siblings b/c I live with my dad." (continued in comments)

(continued from comments) "One of my siblings is a 4y/o stepsister who I rarely get to see, and one was just born a few weeks ago, so they weren't a part of this discussion. My dad was driving my three oldest siblings and I home from some family reunion over the summer, and they started complaining about how I never come with them to visit their dad, and how I barely even leave the house. Two of my siblings are eight and ten, so they don't understand my issues, but my oldest brother is twelve, and he understands what is going on." (cont)

"So he starts sobbing, and then the younger two start screaming at me b/c it was my fault, my dad was trying to calm all this down, and then my youngest brother screams, 'Why are we stuck with a weird sister who never even does anything?!' and then my sister starts screaming abt how I must hate them all, which made my oldest brother really mad, and he slapped her across the face and it was a huge wreck. That was months ago but it still hits me hard every time I think about it.. I feel like I'm just a horrible excuse for a sister.. I'm not around as much as I should be, and I'm always really moody and irritable.. I don't know what to do about this, and Ik it'll pass when I'm out of this depressive episode. But does anyone have any advice??"

You could send a genuine letter telling them what's going on. I'm sure your siblings would be excited to see a letter in the mail for them than a text or online message. It's not super expensive either. You guys should try and get together more often as well, although it might not always work out at least they'll know you're trying to get together. I to had family who thought I was strange because I didn't spend much time w/ them. I now admit that it was true, and I had more fun being with them than doing my own thing anyway.
