I have struggled with depression for at least 10 years and I got diagnosed with bipolar last year. It took my dad a long time to accept that I had depression when I was young and still won't acknowledge the fact I have bipolar, it is too shameful for him. My mom tries her best to understand but she's not fully there. 

I graduated college this summer and moved back home while I tried to save money and find a job. My dad is a suit, top corporate, fiscal conservative, i think you get the idea, so he thinks it should be easy for me to get a job. I applied and barely heard back from anyone, so i took a job in catering. it helped me meet people my age and get re acclimated to my hometown since I went to school out of state. since this job is not in my degree and I work only a few days a week my parents are not too happy about it. They were supportive at first but my dad keeps asking me when I am getting a job and my mom thinks if I am out too much or home too much then i have too much free time and I need a better job.

I believe since I have been stable and working hard on myself since my diagnosis my parents think I am "cured". Now that winter is coming where I live my depression has been getting worse and I do not know how to tell my parents. When I was depressed (and only diagnosed with that not bipolar) I was still expected to participate in life and do just as well. If i fell behind in school or napped too much it was viewed very poorly and that I was making choices that hurt me, so i would be punished. They cannot punish me now and i am not in school but I have so much shame from feeling this way after doing well for a while. I really do not want to tell my parents I am struggling but I feel like I have to. My dad will not understand and my mom "only puts up with so much" of me falling behind in life when i am depressed. I feel so much shame being depressed i push myself too far trying to please my family. I love my family so much and I know they are trying but I do not know how to talk to them about this. Moving out is not an option right now financially, trust me I wish I could just so i did not feel like a failure and have the constant reminders of feeling like I am not enough.
