How can I tell my parents that I think I'm depressed?

That’s difficult, I know. Try to start with “I have to talk to you” or something like this. Make sure that you have their full attention, than just tell your parents, how did you feel, when your depressed. You can do that, it’s hard but possible.

Acknowledging the way you feel is the first and hardest step. You are already halfway there. Talking honestly with someone you trust can be a huge weight off your shoulders. Do not force yourself to talk about your mental health until you feel comfortable enough to. Accepting the way you are feeling should be a priority. However, it is always best to tell someone when you are beginning to feel depressed as you will be able to take action and find out how to make things better for yourself, without suffering alone. Remember that you are never alone and that many people suffer from mental health issues.

Hello. When you are ready, you can bring up the topic. This is a huge step to take, and you will most likely be a bit nervous. Calmly tell them this, and ask for help. Therapy would be ideal to ask for. Always have a backup plan, for they may not accept this. But it is always okay to tell them, for most parents will not judge and be happy to help their beloved child.

You can try to approach the topic by testing the waters and gauging their opinion on depression before broaching the actual statement. It also helps to make sure you understand it well enough to explain to your parents if they don’t understand.

When I was younger I tried to hide it, I would look tired from staying up crying, Again I would lash out, Till one day I met a gitl who I fell for, Some things happened and I ended up cutting myself deep, The girl told my mum which ended up in me going down stairs and showing my mum, My point is, I should have just told her first

Try writing a letter or expressing it in a way that is personal for you. For example, if you enjoy art, maybe try drawing a picture and then showing them and explaining what it means. This might be easier if you're worried about not knowing what to say or how to put it in a way that makes sense.

The best way would be to sit them down and walk through it with them if you need more advice I can give you a link to a more qualified individual

Just tell them to take you to a psychologist. Tell them how you feel. Talk it all out. You'll feel much better and light.

Just recently, I told my parents about the things I was thinking and the feelings I had. It seemed to work pretty well. They understood and came to the conclusion that I was (and still am) depressed. Unfortunately, not all parents are understanding and supportive, like mine. Some need you to explain more or some might not believe you. That's okay, just breathe and tell them what you think is going on. I hope this helped in any way. Sending well-wishes!

Speak to your GP first. That shows the issue is real and has been recognised by a professional. Then, maybe, tell your parent(s) by saying that you went to the GP because you haven't been feeling great and they think that you are depressed.
