How did you tell your family members that you were/are depressed?

...See more I have never directly come out to my family and said I am depressed. Sometimes I wonder if they have ever considered it when they talk to me. My family has a history of mental illnesses but we still arent comfortable at all about talking about them. I would like to tell them eventually but just dont know how as I dont want them to judge me. I would love to hear how you told your family members or relatives. 
Has taking medicine helped your depression?

...See more For a couple years now I have contemplated taking medicine to help to overcome my depression. When things get pretty much unbearable and I feel like I can no longer deal with my depression by natural means I consider it. However, i'm scared to take medicine for many reasons such as the immense side effects such as fatigue, honestly im in my early twenties and I cannot afford to be more fatigued than I already am. I find that Im already dealing with so many symptoms of depression and anxiety I cant imagine going through more because of medicine. Im also worried that I will have to rely on it for the rest of my life, I know I will always have depression for life as I've been experiencing it now for 10 plus years but I go through phases and that is why I dont think it is necessary to take it all the time for life. I'm a true believer that there are always other methods of dealing with depression. That is why I would like to hear from someone who has taken medicine for their depression and what their experience is from doing so, whether that be positive or negative.
