Today, I told my parents how grateful I am for having them in my life and that not many kids are as lucky as me. My mom texted me after I went out 10 minutes later: "Are you OK? You seemed depressed earlier." FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I received numerous text messages from my parents asking where I was and how worried they are. I was in my room, they didn't even notice me walk in. FML
Today, I called my mom while she was out of town and confessed how I have been depressed lately and thinking suicidal thoughts. After my long sob story, she took a breath and said, "OK, just make sure you don't forget to take the dogs out." FML
Today, I told my mom I loved her a lot. Her reply? "Thanks." FML

I agree, I don't understand what makes this a FML at all. What's wrong with your mom making sure you're okay?

a change in behavior pattern is a sign of depression or suicidal thoughts.

They obviously don't care enough to bother listening to OP otherwise they would know that OP appreciates their life.

No, but he does know his parents love him and that he did a good thing...even if they didn't quite get that it was coming from the heart. When he tells them he feels fine, it will mean all the more to them :). Good job op! The world needs more people like you, who are not afraid to say how they feel!

@2: wow, you don't know much about depression if you connect depression and "depressant". Depressants don't make you depressed, they slow your body's functions. Meaning it slows your brain, and your inhibitions. So you will say what you feel because of lowered inhibitions, not because it makes you depressed. I would say you're a retard, but that would be unfair. You just don't know. Ecstasy is a stimulant, and it will make you talk more about your feelings than any depressant ever could. @OP's post. I would ask the same thing in her place. Random emotion can come from saying goodbye forever, or losing good feelings from depression, and telling those you love that you love them, because you feel bad and you appreciate the feeling of love in depression.

I'm tended to do this with my Mom just to see how she'll react. She'll probably think I'm being sarcastic... Damn.
