Am I being selfish or am I allowed to feel this way?
Depression Support / by Sarcasticballoffun

...See more I'm 19, asian, I live with my parents and younger brother. We live in a two bedroom flat. I have my own room and my mom and brother share and my father is an insomniac so he has a bed in the living room and sleeps whnever. I was diagosed with depression at the age of 15 and was put on antidepressants and couselling. I'm off the anti depressants but still continue with the counselling. Today, after a year and a half I started crying over the smallest thing and I couldn't pinpoint if I was being selfish or not. I found out an uncle of mine was coming to stay which meant that my mum and brother would move in to my room for a month until he goes. I felt like my peace and safe haven was being taken away from me. My room is the only place that makes me feel like everything is going to be okay, its the only place where I feel like I can properly breathe in this whole house. My depression stems from a lot of family problems i've witnessed and experienced as a child. SO after hearing how my uncle staying over meant that my mom and brother will have to move in and me crying so much over that just made me think am i being selfish? or am I allowed to feel like this....is this my depression and anxiety not wanting to let go of my room?
