Fine, I just won't talk to any of you.

I'm seriously starting to think that no one in my family is going to take my depression seriously unless I get caught attempting suicide.

And even if that were the case, I'd just get to hear how selfish I am.

Oh, thank fuck that my medical benefits start tomorrow, that's all I've got to say. Now what's the quickest way to get back on anti-depressants ...

EDIT: Also, I really shouldn't have to argue more than once that my parents leaving me hyperventilating on their kitchen floor is actually a BAD thing.

Oh, gods, I'm sorry. It's one thing to know intellectually that people don't understand depression, but it's another to have to experience those closest to you not understanding your depression. As other people have said, you know many of us here--including me--have been through depression and go through it periodically. Ask for a lifeline and we'll throw it out while you wait to get meds and for them to take effect.
