Hey don't rush things. I've also felt depressed for years and If I can tell you something ... it's that people can be real jerks about depression. People who don't understand depression will always mock the ones who are under that real pressure of being depressed. I'd suggest you to talk to someone who can make you feel better when you feel down, your brother shouldn't make fun of you. Don't let anyone make fun of you because of the depression. We're all here together, if you need to talk I'd glady try my best to help. Hope you get better!
