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

It all depends on the sort of person you are, your parents ethics etc., however the most traditional way to do it is to just sit them down and have a conversation with them about it.

Go to your parents and have a serious, open-minded, honest conversation wih them. Say something like, "Hey, can I talk to you? I think I'm depressed and I need some help. Can I get a hug and then can we talk about it?"

Your parents only ever want the best for you, the best thing to do is tell them how you feel, it always feels good to express your emotions.

You should go to online depression counseling for specific advice, and you should tell your parents as soon as possible if necessary to get professional help.

this is a hard thing to do. you could write a letter and leave it on their bed, you could ask to talk to them and say something like "i think i'm depressed, and i'd like to get help."

You just tell them.They are your parents and they care for you so much.They love you and they will try to help you.You have to be completely honest and open up to them about everything that is on your mind.

Telling parents is never easy, but making sure you do it in a serious way is the difference maker. Sit them down and be genuine. Let them know your concern and that you are seeking help.

It's difficult to share personal topics with parents, especially if you've never talked of the topic. Not to mention that you may be confused on what's going on with your own self. And I don't care how cheesy this sounds, but parents really do have 'more experience' and have probably gone through similar situations. I personally always get anxious before talking to my parents. I'm scared they'll be angry, and I wish they could just spare me beginning the conversation by asking "what's wrong?" That usually isn't the case, though. It is usually your responsibility to bring up your problem, as nerve-wrecking as that sounds. You could always start the chat with, ¨Can I talk to you about something? It´s important." It really sets the serious tone. Let them know how you are feeling and that you feel like it's severe and you need to talk to somebody. IT'S OKAY TO CRY! In fact, I feel closer to my true thoughts while crying. It's totally normal and fine if you do so. IT'S OKAY TO WRITE A TEXT INSTEAD! You can always text one of your parents about it if you're anxious about directly talking to them. Then, when they ask you about it in person, it won't be as serious, as you already got the serious stuff out of the way. Hope this helps? xoxo

Have a chat with them. Just let them know you have something to tell them to hear you out on it. Let them know how you been feeling.

You may find it easier to right write it down on paper, you can then express fully what you're feeling without feeling anxious in front of them it will also give them time to understand what you've written and help you. I suggest writing it out and leaving it somewhere where they will find it then let them come to you once they have read it. :)
