I just had to come clean with my parents about being depressed for 5+ years. I needed their financial support for therapy. That was the only reason I told them.
Their reaction was a mix of "we will give you the money don't worry, don't worry about getting a job we will support you financially", "don't you tell anyone because it's embarassing and no one will ever want to be with you". They told me to keep it from my sister as well.
I'm a bit overwhelmed right now, I have no idea what I'm feeling. Maybe I'm feeling ashamed of myself because they definitely are.
They have me on suicide watch now and don't believe me when I say I'm doing better.
... Feeling very confused. Looking for some validation I guess
