Sounds a bit like my D. Very negative, assumes the worst will happen, dwells on the worst and never appreciates the good things, “hates everyone” at school. In our case, she is very depressed and has been taking Prozac. It helps a bit, but she refuses to get therapy. We did go to someone, who she liked, but she wouldn’t open up to her. She’s very stubborn and insists nothing will work. One thing the Prozac does is take away some of the really low lows, and the crying jags.

Anger is often how teens show depression. It’s worth looking into.
