Blank White Template | SO MY PARENTS KEEP TELLING ME MY DEPRESSION IS LIKE A BROKEN ARM (IT'S A SERIOUS MEDICAL PROBLEM AND THEY CARE AND WE HAVE TO FIX IT); BUT IF I PHYSICALLY COULDN'T DO SOME SCHOOL ASSIGNMENT DUE TO A BROKEN ARM, OBVIOUSLY THEY WOULDN'T STILL MAKE ME DO IT RIGHT? BUT IF I EMOTIONALLY CAN'T DO SOME SCHOOL ASSIGNMENT DUE TO DEPRESSION THEY DEFINITELY STILL FORCE ME TO DO IT. AND I JUST FEEL LIKE THEY DON'T UNDERSTAND AND I CAN'T TALK TO THEM AS MUCH ANYMORE. DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW TO COMMUNICATE WITH NON-DEPRESSED PEOPLE SO THAT THEY UNDERSTAND? | image tagged in blank white template | made w/ Imgflip meme maker

I kinda want to take both sides.

I've suffered from OCD and generalized anxiety since I was in high school but wasn't diagnosed with it until my 20s. My parents ignored it, which resulted in a breakdown in my first year of college. I didn't finish college and really wish there was someone there to push me... I'd be in a much better place today if I had finished.

At the same time, I agree that your parents need to be more understanding that depression makes it hard to have the motivation to do anything. They need to understand that you have good days and bad days, and try to be there for you when you're having a bad day...
