I've been suffering from depression and anxiety for a couple of years and last year I got meds for it. I told my parents and they were supportive for a while, but when I got better I guess they just thought I was completely over anxiety like it would have been "just a phase". I today got a anxiety/panic attack and just said my parents to inform the school I was sick today and told them I had anxiety. Now first thing when I say I'm anxious they tell me to go to school and just bare with it, witch i understand but it feels like they think I'm using it as a excuse. I am completely aware why I got the panic attack and I don't think I need to go to my psychologist as I haven't been there for a while. But my parents seem to disagree. I am quite sure that this panic attack is just pent up stress and it'll pass. I just sometimes feel like my parents don't want to help my mental health, but just make me go to school.

So I guess my question is how can I tell my parents that this happens sometimes, and it doesn't mean I've fallen into depression and in need of professional help.
