Why would you orginally do that?
>>35622348
>dad told me he was depressed
>>35622408
Same.
I feel like they don't even take it seriously and just think its a meme. And that makes me feel horrible desu.
>>35622453
>They never shut up about it
>>35622479
You're not really depressed if you're telling everyone you're depressed
>>35622500
>actually want to tell friends so I can try and get help
>feel like they'd get weirded out and just not talk to me again or act different.
>>35622502
I'm glad we have a mental health specialist on this board to keep us right
>>35622541
I told my friends, they were really supportive of me and didn't bring it up unless they thought something was really up.
Unless your friends are fucking retards, I think it helps talking about it.
>>35622502
>my depression is the only REAL depression
heh heh, tell me about it, booooyyyeeee
>>35622348
I hope my parents would find out.
>>35622620
Just put the blinds down and lie in your bed.
I did it for 6 months and they noticed. I am such a horrible person. I want to die.
>>35622563
How do you tell em 'Hi my name is anon, and I thought about blowing my brains out while you all were gone'?
>parents found out I'm depressed
I pay my alcohol and bills, they can do shit about this and I will die alone.
>>35622348
>mom walked in on the depression session
>>35622767
Well you definitely don't say it like that.
Just say
>Listen guys, some real shit, I just recently got diagnosed with depression.
>If I flake on shit or don't feel up to stuff, just know I appreciate the offers but I won't always be able to make it out.
Hopefully followed by some beers with the bros and emotional heart felt drunken chats
>>35622901
That sounds so fake and attention-whory.
>>35622948
It's called putting up a brave face, but letting your guard down for a little bit as well.
Depression is tough but if you can't tell those around you in a way which is appropriate you are just going to make it worse for yourself.
Depression and suicide are a kind of an inside joke in my social circle, so I get away with saying really dark shit and we laugh it off when in reality I mean all of it. Makes me wonder though: how many of my friends are in the same spot?
>got diagnosed good goy feel good pills

>>35622477

f-from what?

My mother was a bipolar alcoholic who abused prescription drugs. She did a lot of terrible things while I was growing up.
>>35623339
You properly just inherited her bipolar.
>>35623474
I certainly hope not, but it does seem like a possibility.
>Think I might have an anxiety disorder
>Too anxious to get checked
>>35623527
sounds like a catch 22
>>35623184
>Dad phone me one night and shot himself in the head
>parents beg me daily to see a psychologist
>sometimes even threaten to get me put into a mental ward
>know my brain is irreparably broken but im still afraid of the verdict and being deemed crazy
>>35623202
Just do it. The fact that they asked means you'll have to do it eventually. Either now or years down the road when the despair kicks in and they refuse to look at you like that.
I'm in the same position and it's such a defeating feeling having to do things you don't want to, but you have to because you know it's the path of least resistance.
>>35623555
Don't be afraid. You have the ultimate excuse for all your failings. You could even turn that into a meal ticket if you live in a social democracy.
>grandad found out I'm a Nazi
>>35623496
My gfs mother was bipolar. I always chalked some of her weirdness up to the childhood trauma. Then she got a full blown manic psychosis.
Not writing this to scare you. Just beware of it. Also lithium is you friend if you ever get there.

Clevr ol bat.
>>35623569
I'm shit at expressing myself and hate talking about my problems. Tbh councilling is my version of hell.
>>35623703
Suit yourself.
Maybe none of us wants to say it, but we all crave for this attention. We all want them to approach us and ask if we're okay. We like that they make us get help, because we can still keep up our "tough person" image. Even more if we're only pretending to be depressed (I think I have been for the past 10 years).
>>35623627
>she got a full blown manic psychosis
This freaks me out because I've had "episodes". I've had times where I've been convinced that my life was coming to an end and that some conspiracy or an acquaintance was out to get me. When I'm in a normal state of mind, it's disturbing to look back and see how overpowering and believable those feelings are. Could this be the beginning of psychosis?
>>35623729
Maybe you think I'm an attention whore and I can understand why but I'm really not. I just want to be left alone, but maybe not

I've been telling my mom that I'm depressed and anxious since I was 17. She constantly asks me if I am and I will tell her yes. I'm fairly certain that she either doesn't want to believe it or she just doesn't want to deal with it. My uncle has bad depression and anxiety and she has to put up with that a lot.

Sounds like paranoia. Which can both be a symptom of PTSD and depressive psychosis. Paranoia is uncommon with manic psychosis, as it usually feels fantastic coming up.
It very rare that people recover from psychosis on their own without medical intervention. So you shouldn't be afraid that you are experiencing psychosis - you are properly not. People around you will notice fast and take action, should it comes to it.
I would advice you to seek a psychiatric evaluation. There's a lot of things you can do to lessen the risk of developing bipolar, when you are in the risk of it as you are. Good sleep and treatment of other mental problems (like PTSD) will get you a long way.
That way you are in control. If things go south for you, you will be at the mercy of the psychiatrist that treats you. My gf was lucky and got a good one. But I have head horror stories of people getting put on insane levels of antipsychotic medicine from the get go, effectively barring them from having any meaningful mental life when the episode is over. Getting antipsychotic induced psychosis if they try to tamper off, locking them in a cycle of episodes.
If you seek help when you're not totally broken, you decide if the treatment is worse than where you are now.
>told oneitis I was depressed
>she gave me a hug
>I hide my depression and suicidal thoughts from my parents to spare their feelings and them worrying
>My little sister is visibly depressed and miserable as fuck. She's a complete bitch
>My mum says things like "I'm going crazy just sat inside the house all day, i should just slit my wrists"
Why the fuck can't they just be miserable on the inside. Sharing it with me just makes me feel worse. Fuck. It's not like I can help their situation, just fucking act like normal people around me.
>mom is illiterate and really dislikes my dad
>dad is a uni graduate but his field has virtually stopped existing so he just works a shitty job and wishes he married another woman
>they both very clearly love me from the bottom of their hearts and have never pressured me into doing anything, probably the reason why they even stick together despite everything.
>I love them both and it hurts me to see them this way
Can anyone relate?
