Re: How did your parents react-when you told them about your Depression? -

My mom found out through the school four or five years ago. At first, she wasn't that supportive. She was in shock, so to speak and we pretended that everything was fine. She soon found out again and we fought a lot until the reason for my issues came out. After we found out I have PTSD and after we came to terms with it she's been a really good source of support for me. My dad, however, is not understanding but I do not get along with him too well.
I think telling your parents is definitely worth a shot. They may be in shock at first but when you have someone close to you by your side it doesn't seem nearly as dark. If you have any questions or need help with telling your parents feel free to PM me!
