Today, I opened up to my parents about my depression. Their response was to have a very heated discussion about whose fault it was. FML

When I told my parents I made my mom cry. And being depressed already it had made me feel even worse. But that was a over a year ago. She still gets upset now and then but not as much.

I have severe depression and my moms only reaction was to say I was still going to school and how much was this going to cost her.

It's called distraction. Sometimes when people are confronted with an issue they can't fix, they focus their attention elsewhere to something they can deal with.

When I was depressed my parents started fighting and my mom told me it would be my fault if they got a divorce. They're still together though. And now I take meds which helps, plus I've moved out since then. I'm much happier now that I don't live with them. I still see them but its a great change. Your parents probably just have no idea what depression is like and they're only thinking about how it affects them. Find support online if you need to. There's people who will understand and care, even if your parents can't.

I imagine that was suppose to be a joke, but it wasn't really funny.

That has to be the worst advice I have ever heard. You are a complete idiot.

Substance abuse makes people delusional, which is what you must be if you think it got you through your depression!

Don't knock it til you've tried it, weed works better than anti-depressants for me

i have to agree with 67. the only time i really dont want to die is when i have weed in my lungs. taking pills whose side effects include suicidal thoughts baffles me. but, to each their own. op, good luck in your battle. the only person that can change the way you think is you. stay strong. <3

Same thing happened to me :/ But over time they came to accepting it and got me help. Try and make an appointment with a psychologist

I'm sorry for you OP, I know first hand what it feels like to have severe depression, and parents that can't admit that they may have made mistakes, but instead blame each other for things, make it that much harder to deal with! Definitely seek help from someone with experience, and be prepared to lay all your troubles on the table and methodically and sometimes painfully sort through them. It's a hard step to take, and you have to get ready to be very honest with yourself. If you can't look in the mirror and be true to yourself, you can't ever help yourself! Good luck OP, you'll be in my prayers!! <3

Sometimes I wonder why I choose to go on living at all (other than the fact I'm still too chicken to end my life), because the world is so full of war, hatred, greed and stupidity and I'm sick of being reminded of it all the time. Ignoring the problems won't make them go away, I'm not a religious person, and if you can't change the planet for the better you can't change the way I feel. So many countries get more and more nuclear weapons every day and the freaking US can't even keep terrorists living in their own country from blowing up an killing people. Face, it we're doomed and there's nothing we can do about it. :((

I dunno, there's a lot of bad people in the world but there's good people too. Personally I find that it's better to try and make the world a better place (not ignore the problems), than just giving up. But maybe I'm too optimistic.... Anyways, going back to the FML, I think you need some outside help OP. If the problems started at home, you'll need someone more objective (and professional if you can manage it) to help you out.
