Today, my shrink diagnosed me as severely depressive, due to a lot of stress and yells at home. After the session, my parents argued about whose fault it was and then went on to yell at me for being depressive and wasting their money. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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
Today, my parents screamed at me for being diagnosed as depressed, because I’m not allowed to be depressed, because me being depressed makes them look like bad parents who couldn’t raise a happy, normal child, so I have to be happy or I’ll be punished. FML
Today, my parents screamed at me for cutting my wrists. They asked me if I wanted a therapist. I said that I didn't know. Then my mom said, "But wait, it's going to cost a lot of money!" FML
Today, my mother threw a fit because the psychologist she got me suggested I visit a psychiatrist. Apparently, it's my fault because I "choose" to be so "crazy". FML
Today, and every day I decide to get therapy for my severe depression, my parents spring a workload of chores on me, which mentally exhausts me to the point I can’t do anything. Including start my therapy. FML
Today, going to my psychiatrist's appointment for my PTSD and depression, my mother yelled about how useless I am and how I torture her existence with my "abnormalities." She told the doctor how much I've improved and become such a delight at home for her and our family. FML
Today, I got a lecture from my mother about how bad my stress has been, how I have to treat myself better and do something with my life. She still doesn't realize that most of the cause of my stress has been from her berating me about how stressed out I am. FML
Today, my dad told me that I'm a weak and negative person because I suffer from depression and anxiety, then he told me to just snap out of it. FML
Today, my mom read my diary. Then she frantically booked me an appointment with a psychiatrist. FML
Today, I was talking to my professor and explained how depressed and stressed out I am. He called the police to my house because he thought that would help with my suicidal thoughts. My parents don't believe in mental health, and I want to die more. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Get over it. Stress and yelling at home? Hi, welcome to many households in the world. Deal with it till you are old enough to move out on your own. If you can't handle the stress of your parents fighting at home then you are screwed when you are actually working and supporting yourself. You did waste their money.

What an asshole you are. Severe depression is REALLY severe mental health issue, and people who are predisposed for it can have it set off by even the tiniest of things. What you just said is the equivalent of telling a person dying of cancer to "check out of the damn hospital, man up and go back to work." I'm not kidding. Depression is serious stuff. You don't **** with that shit or people end up killing themselves.

#22, I'd have to say that #24 is right. you can just say that to someone. the hint is in the severely depressed. Have some decency and don't be so cold-hearted. Btw, OP, don't listen to your parents, it's good you are getting some help and they should be supporting you not yelling at you.

Depression is literally a chemical imbalance in the brain, it's like an illness, it's not your fault if you get it. Bad situations can trigger it but sometimes everything seems to be fine and you could still get depressed. Idiots like you really get on my nerves cos telling someone to 'get over' their depression is just ignorant and can do a lot of harm, so do the world a favour and stfu.

You guys are a bunch of idiots. Why don't you actually get a clue before you speak up. I know what CLINICAL depression is. Did you actually read the FML? He wasn't diagnosed with clinical depression, he was diagnosed as depressed due to stress and family issues. Clinical depression can occur as easily in a healthy home environment as an unhealthy one and isn't triggered by petty things like stress. You guys go to a psychiatrist and tell them that you are sad and when they ask about your home environment tell him/her that your parents yell and scream all the time. I would bet 100% of the time they "diagnose" you with depression due to stress in the home. It's a BS diagnosis and a waste of his parents money. Please don't try to lecture me on clinical depression when you clearly don't know the difference between a depressed person and someone with depression.

#59 - It doesn't make a bit of difference in your life, so back the hell off. ANYONE who is depressed (clinically or otherwise) doesn't need a negative response from an asswipe such as yourself, because it will only make them feel worse.

This is.. Just sad :| You can come and live with me, if it would make you feel better! Unless you mind a cat-crazy family, then it isn't the best offer you can get.. Run along now, run along..

FYL. That really blows, OP. I know the feeling -- my mom used to yell at me and blame me for my depression all the time. Maybe you should keep your parents out of your sessions for the time being and focus on feeling better first. Here's hoping you get well soon.

your shrink shrunk you

anyone that says ydi is a ******* douche, bro. this is a very serious issue, and depending on the OP's age he may not have many options to make the situation better for himself. hopefully your parents realize how damaging their actions can be before they end up driving you away. if possible you should consider moving in with a friend or close family member for a bit.
