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

You can sit them down and tell them the emotions you are going through, and how specifically it is affecting your life. They may be helpful, if you let them be.

Honesty is the best way. Tell them how you feel and what you want them to do to help. You could also ask to see a doctor or consult a counselor.

Just sit with them and be honest the best you can. If they love you they will understand and accept you, and help you. And I know they will.

I had to tell my mother this one day. What I did was just tell her right after I came home from school. She kinda got mad at me, but I told her I was serious and she got me someone I could talk to about it.

That's a hard thing to do, but it has to be done. They will most likely be shocked, but they will want to help you. When depressed, you should open up to people and let them help you, especially your parents. You should probably just sit them down and just say it.

It is best to ask them from their time for some time. Tell them your struggles first, and how it is affecting your daily life. Mention how you researched about it, and it appears to be depression. Tell them that just to be sure, visit a doctor.

You can write letters. Express your feelings, your situation, explaining that you need help and hope that they accept and understand you.

Well, i can say that i always tried to indirectly tell mine when i was feelinf depressed. But it's more of a thing what your parents are like. I told my mother, and she was sad, but wanted to help and talk to me. We were both sitting in living room, and i told her that sometimes i feel sad.....well it started like that and we talked about everything and she helped. You should find your way to tell her, anyhow how you'll feel comfortable. If you'll feel more comfortable with writing everything you feel and want to say on a paper, that works too. Good luck, you can also get help here, anyone will help :)

Parents could be told about depression by saying them, "Sometimes I feel everything's sad. I really appreciate if you'd take some time to talk to me about it."

It can be very difficult to tell people we are close to that we are sad or hurting. Often we may feel that they won't believe us or take us seriously, or that their reaction will make us feel bad about how we are feeling. It can be a scary feeling when we make ourselves vulnerable to others by sharing something personal. However, many people also feel much better after sharing our feelings with someone who can support us and find that the fears they had prior to telling someone did not come true. It's always easier to tackle a difficult situation with someone to help us. Remember, a problem shared, is a problem halved! Always remember that there are people who care about you, in your personal life, and here on 7 Cups!
