I can tell I am severely depressed but my dad doesn't think depression is a real thing and he won't take me to a doctor to see how bad it is.

Smiles mean nothing.

I've had severe anxiety and depression for years. My parents think that because I smile and pretend all is well I'm cured... I don't think it's ever been this bad 😔

IT's not an exaggeration.

My dad doesn't think my anxiety disorder is real. He says I'm crazy and should be on the 5th floor. I can't bring myself to tell him I want to go to therapy because he'll just tell me I'm over exaggerating.

Tough love is not real.

Honestly I've never looked up to my parents and I don't think I've ever will. They are the reason why I have depression and anxiety, because of the "tough love" that they've shown me

When I started working at the pharmacy my records said I had been picking up anti psychotics for years. I never took any meds despite my depression/anxiety. My mom denies knowing anything about it.

It's obvious.

My parents always deny that I'm mentally ill but I'm on pills for my severe depression. Shouldn't that tell you enough about me🙄
