I really wonder at times why I'm so sad all the time. It all started when I moved in '04. I didn't miss the old place though - I was kinda glad that I moved from the old apartment that had mold right in the corner where my bed was. For the past years I've been living here, I've never been really happy. I always fake my happiness towards people because I don't want to bring them down by being sad. In school, I was made fun of a lot and teased. I of course, was hurt, and I was constantly angry, but didn't do anything about it (and unfortunately, I hate how I lash out at my family when they don't deserve it on the days that don't go well). I had low self-esteem at the time, but when it continued, my self-esteem and trust in people decreased. I can never be happy and have that enthusiastic feeling that I really want back. Also, I don't know if this has to do anything with it, but I noticed that I'm really lethargic in everything - thinking, moving around, making choices...(continued below)

I'm always sleepy even though I sleep more than 12 hours on weekends (I sleep less than 5 hours during school days). I think a factor in why I'm always unhappy is that my parents always believe I lie and that my siblings are always angels. When I get hurt, they don't care. But when my siblings are in trouble, or hurt, they overreact and want to help ASAP. They think I get hurt on purpose to get pity and attention. Why would I want attention from them if they already hate me? I don't think it's my dad though - he loves everyone in our family equally. I also don't think that its just my mom and siblings who hate me...I think everyone hates me. I get so bothered when people look at me cuz I think constantly that they're making thoughts in their heads about me or my friends and family. I hate the world for that. I wish I could just die and have the courage to hurt myself physically.

I know first hand that feeling like that all the time is awful.
It's possible & very common that you just might have a chemical imbalance. It's nothing to be ashamed of. I would suggest that you talk to a doctor about it, you could start with your family doctor or you could go talk with a psychologist or psychiatrist.
Good Luck!

A couple of things come to mind here. One is that exposure to mold can cause health issues and since you were sleeping in an area where there was mold on the walls, it is possible that this "depression" is a manifest of a physical ailment. It is also possible that you are suffering from clinical depression. It's also possible that all the teasing and suffering you did in school has taken its toll.
Either way, the first thing to do is to realize that you do NOT have to suffer with this. You can be helped.
The next step is to see a doctor and have a thorough physical. Be sure to tell him/her about the exposure to mold. He/she can determine if your health has been affected and act accordingly.

You are not happy, but you need to make your thinking positive. Because if you keep thinking that way, then you will become a looser - who blame everything on someone else, who will stay at the same position for rest of your life.
Life isn't a easy thing, it has its ups and downs. It is what you can make the best out of yourself. If people make fun of you, then so what, be the class clown. That is why there are comdian and they are the best actors.
Be smart to check out what will be with you forever, like knowledge. Being popular or not doesnt' mean they will be successful later on. Look this way, life is about 70yrs. and right now, you are at 18, more way to go.
Cheer up

Doctors call it depression syndrome and prescribe the ill ones antidepressant pills. The last ones are addictive and may even make you crazy- you might make a suicide or attack the innocent people, but it is in rare cases.

You sound depressed to me. Depression is a medical condition that needs to be treated by a doctor. Please see a doctor as soon as possible. I have suffered from depression also. Medicine has always helped me feel a lot better.
Best wishes.
