Anyone else here who has parents that have no idea how bad things

denial is a thing

Shameless bumpumb

I'm kinda in the same boat, OP. The funny thing is that my parents believe that I'm not the depressed kind of guy, because I'm pretty good at hiding what I feel. My brother is the "problem child" of the family, goes to a psychiatrist, etc, while I'm the exemplary older brother who goes to college and just likes a little too much being by himself. Truth is, I probably need going to a psychiatric just as much, if not more, than my brother, but I don't wanna add an extra burden to my parents, who besides all of that are going through the early stages of getting a divorce.

My brother is graduating from college next month, but in theater arts so there's no telling if he'll be successful. I was the sure chance of having a good career. And he also has high functioning autism but its almost unnoticeable, so me telling her that both of her sons have autism would probably make her feel horrible.

I didn't ask for this suffering

she knows OP. she just has the tact to not tell you so you can delude yourself into thinking your mom still has faith in you. she hopes that this feeling of faith will somehow make you get off your ass. little does she realize it will never happen.

Me OP. I do a pretty good job of hiding it because I'm in Uni and I took mostly online classes, so I've went almost full blown hikki. Had an austistic depression meltdown visiting over Easter though, so that's probably in the shitter now.

i want to en my life and i'm just wanting to get a job so i can buy a pistol and blow my brains out.

It's probably best that you tell her so she can help you and give you a hug.

My mother knew I had no friends and was scared of people the whole time I was growing up but didn't really care, except for one time in HS when out of nowhere she asked if I had any friends, I told her of course I didn't, literally all I ever did was go to school then come home, I'd never been to anyone's house or anything, she just told me to try harder and never said anything about it again. So once I got to uni I just started lying and when she bothers to call and asks what I've been doing I just claim that I'm planning to go out with friends or some shit.

I love my mommy. When she dies I'll probably off myself.

This. Uni has ruined me, I do nothing but come immediately home from class, shitpost, and cry. But I always lie when my family asks.

My dad always pulls the "everyone has their own struggles"/"everyone is going through something" card.

I love him but he has no excuse to think this way. He is not a normie; he is succesful and famous but he is also very introspective and depressed, not to mention a conservative libertarian. He of all people should be aware of the massive social divide going on but of course he just gives those fuckers the benefit of the doubt. It's sickening

My mother knows that I'm a little eccentric and don't function well around people but she chose not to believe that I have serious problems. She tried to help me, though. She even went to a psychiatrist with me once. But she can't internalize that her straight A child has crippling depression and wants to die. I love her so much.
