Suggest Medication For Depression

I'm suicidal. The cause... my parents beating us during my childhood and my brother beating and bullying me for his pleasure. My brother favored till this day. I'm angry and resent being born female. I dont have the ability to express emotions of love, even to my fiance. I've started taking medication to put myself to sleep through the days. I live happily in my day dreams where its a perfect world and Im loved and accepted unconditionally by a perfect husband. Am I mentally ill?

I went through your details. You are living in a fantasy world and such a condition is a defense mechanism used by mind to overcome the anxiety creating obsessive thinking. Therefore the current behavior can be justified. But you have move forward from that. Please understand, past lives only in your mind. If you do not think about it, past has no existence. Forget past. You have a great future. You should be able to show your parents and siblings that you are not just a female and you have many other capabilities which they cannot match. Show them how capable you are. Show them you are not just a girl child who could be bullied through. I suggest, you may need some psychological counseling and cognitive behavior therapy.
