I'm a senior in highschool and I've been depressed for awhile now but I don't think I knew it until recently. I think the source of my depression is just that I do everything I can to please my parents and make them proud but they're constantly complaining about how I don't do this and don't do that. I don't have much friends in school either as well. I just feel very unwanted and unloved.
Today I came home and she complained that she got a call that I was late to school(which I am ALL the time) and she's very religious so she was talking about how the devil is making me go to school late to get her upset and all of that. And I just got upset and I ended up telling her about how she treats me and how it makes me feel and that I'm tired because I'm depressed.
And she pretty much said what I expected her too: That there's no reason to feel depressed because I have a bed and I eat and that I should feel grateful instead of unhappy. She also cried and pretty much insinuated that she herself was depressed.
I don't know if the outcome of this was because we were both upset and I should've just sat her down when we were both calmed done but I just feel really shitty right now. Sorry it's so long. I heard all these stories how telling their parents turned out to really help them so not really sure what to do now...
