Experiment Do your parents know if you’re depressed?

[ColdLightOfDay]

I used to outwardly telegraph my depression, especially in periods where it was really bad. I have found that having everyone know you are depressed does not help you unless there is a clear path out of the depression. People cannot help you if the situation is truly hopeless, and their naïve attempts at positive input only serve to infuriate you. As depression is an obsessive disorder it is very unlikely they will be able to tell you anything you haven’t already thought of, with the amount of hours you may have spent obsessing yourself with it, exploring every conceivable hypothetical avenue of escape only to eventually accept there is none.

Parents can never accept this, so are an unhelpful addition to the equation in my opinion.

Yes but they don’t know why afaik.. maybe they’ve figured it out as I often joke about how my life is over cause I’m nw3 but they know there’s a lot of truth to it.. more than they think

My mom does, but doesn't give a shit and tells me to just go out more and that others have it worse.
My father roped a year ago.

 

[Ritalincel]

Yes bro

 

[ColdLightOfDay]

Yes bro

To what extent do they know? Does it not make life harder?

They haven’t a clue. I’m just a good caring son to them, while in reality I’m a fucking destroyed husk of a person. Other than talking to my parents and keeping them company, I spend the rest of my time in bed barely abled to get out half the time. My sleep is shit because my own thoughts are so toxic that I have to use music to drown them out half the time. They even asked if I will ever get a girlfriend and I just laugh and play it off like I was some player. Best I can do is give them some false hope on their last few remaining years. The worst part is that they always tell me that it’s okay, and that I just take my time.

They should based on the shit I say (I mention killing myself and that no one loves me all the time).

My parents are willingly in denial about some of my problems. They wanted everyone around them to know that I was the perfect boy growing up. My dad would always tell me to get over it when I said I was depressed. My mom says she doesn’t get depressed. But then again she never opens up about her emotions. I know that I have a chemical imbalance in my brain. I’m not stupid enough to lack self awareness about my problems.

I live at home, so yes.

 

[Not_Important]

Yes but they don't give a shit

My parents tried to force me to go to a psychologist when I was younger, but I stopped after a couple of times I went there because the bitch said only bluepilled stuff that made me to laugh on her face, like that if I want to have sex I just have to go in a club offering drinks to girls lulz

You sound like somebody who could massively benefit from meditation, it is really good for those who feel overwhelmed by their thoughts and though it will not solve your problems, it will better equip you to cope with them, by reducing the affect they have on your stress levels.

I went once to a psychologist that was throwing me blue-pill stuff, when I contradicted her and asked for answers, that bitch was on medical leave for the next visits, always canceling them a few hours before, and she insisted I find another therapist.
Btw., In EE the public system is so fucked up, that despite you have a prescription from a psychiatrist for urgent treatment, you still have to wait several months to see a therapist, or to go to a group therapy. And see the results .

At least I noticed that EE girls are relatively more kind than WE ones with ugly guys. I live in Italy and here girls, even ugly and obese ones, make fun of ugly people and ostracize them with no reasons, just because they're not good-looking.

That didn't happened to me. EE girls make fun of "ugly" people and ostracize them with no reasons, as well. They're all the same.
