How do I come clean to my parents?
For the last year, I've been avoiding to talk to them about me having dropped out of college. I tried at first to ease into it by saying that "I feel overwhelmed by all the schoolwork" to test their reaction. They immediately started yelling at me without even listening what I had to say, and suggesting how disappointed they were. I wanted to open up and say I have social anxiety and depression but I realized they would just deny me. I can't say they are evil parents, they are just emotionally off. I can't handle the extremely awkward situation I'd be causing if I were to tell them about the college, about depression, etc. I know they'd be making a huge scene, especially since I've been lying all this time. Should I just accept I can't turn to them for help? I'm certain I'm only on their good side because they think I'm this very competent guy, and they'd forsake me if I appeared otherwise.

Get a job first if you dont already have one. Are they paying for an apartment or do you still live with them? Do you have friends you could crash with (while you have a job)? Hows rent in your area? Does all this sound too hard? Have you considered suicide?
If your parents wont support you and you cant handle supporting yourself then your best bet is buying a gun while you keep up thus charade, and then tell them about your lies in a note. Thats what id do famalamadingdong.

I still live with them. I have zero friends to crash with. I only have rent money for one month.
And yes, it sounds too hard since I have depression and can't open up to anybody. You know, depression is when you don't feel like doing anything, so I barely feel like getting out of bed. I could probably handle supporting myself, but I just think "what's the point". Maybe If I had my parent's support, I could make it through. But as of now I feel totally useless.

You should not have dropped out, you sound apathetic. That's mostly what I felt during college but I have parents who helped me get through the hard times. Talk to your parents and be open, don't worry about the after math. What is going on in your head is bad enough. Get a job but what kind of job are you going to get without a diploma? Do you know anyone of any importance? Buck up, tell them what happened, and really for school or work forever outside and/or for shitty pay.

But... I can't. They'll kick me out on the streets, and I'm too weak to deal with it. They'll do it anyways sooner or later, that's why I'm so conflicted about what to do. Continue to feel like shit or come clean and get kicked out? It's awful catch-22.
