How can I make this up to her?
Hello, my little sister (a primary school child) has a really small school event tomorrow. Since my parents have to work, no one can watch, but there are probably very few parents there in general. She asked me if I could come. I didn't say yes or no at first. I'm 17 and, among other things, have depression, which makes it extremely difficult for me to participate in everyday life. I would really like to fulfill her wish, but I feel like I won't be able to do it in the mornings. Especially in the mornings, when I often feel bad. Do you have any tips on how I can manage it, or better yet, what I can do with her tomorrow instead? Something easy and preferably not too long so the mood doesn't get spoiled. Thanks in advance.

But you can do this because your sister needs you now. You don't have to talk to anyone there, and I'm sure it's not long. Maybe you feel better after that. But I know how hard it is to deal with such situations with strangers. If you don't go, you won't feel good either.
Even though it is probably not the simplest solution, try to talk openly to your sister. Otherwise, for good mood always helps me to listen to music or eat food what I like, but this is probably hard to compare with depression. But I don't think you should be responsible for your parents having no time and you have to take over their role, if I understood it correctly. Are there perhaps grandparents or other acquaintances nearby, who might come instead, or accompany you?
Unfortunately not, I asked a friend if she came with her but unfortunately canceled. Thanks for your answer I usually feel mainly that she doesn't feel seen by my parents
I don't think you can do so much about it. The situation will not be a single case, and even if you try it and I find it nasty, it doesn't change the fact that it's the task of your parents to support the children. I guess it doesn't help talking to the parents either, because they wouldn't understand, would they?
Yes, you are indeed right, thank you for your answer!!
Hey,
I also have depression. And it helped me to be important to someone. That's what I managed to do.
It's just your attitude. If you say tomorrow I'm going to be bad, you think it's bad but just picture sooo a lot and make it worse than it actually is. Why don't you go and prepare her a pleasure because it doesn't make anything to lie around. I had exactly the same as you, I came to the conclusion that no one is waiting for me or will help me, either I alone or I am dying alone. And so it's with you, is your choice.
You should give your little sister this pleasure.
I think you'll be able to get up tomorrow. If your sister's happy about YOU, then you've done something cool for your psyche.
Don't think about it… Put it down for you now and go to the bottom.
