Re: Parents are in denial - April 16th 2014, 11:10 PM

Hey there!

I'm not sure how helpful I can be but I'll try. Firstly though, I think it's really great that you want to talk to them about it and you're trying to find a way for them to accept this. Support can be really beneficial when you're going through stuff, and support from your parents might help quite a bit.

Learning that someone you love has depression can be pretty difficult. They may not be ready to accept that their son has depression. It may be hard for them to know of you feeling so sad. I suggest sitting them down and explaining how you feel. Let them know that it hurts when they won't acknowledge that you have depression problems. Ask them if you can talk to them about your depression and explain how much it's bothering you.
