How to tell my mom I am depressed

Just tell her, and let it all out.

I’m a mother of 5 kids and the last thing I would like is “not to know”. I currently found out my 21yr old is on anti’depressants and I was sad to hear, but again I felt comfortable knowing she confided in me.

We can work this out together. So in your case you need to speak out. It’s not your fault your depressed stuff happens that triggers and brings the cloudiness to our days. I myself have been on anti-depressants. Took me awhile to accept I had a problem but now my “whole” family knows and now they understand the “why” of many of my actions. This is the only way anybody can help. If people don’t know than they can’t help you. Keep on with your treatment don’t stop, because you don’t want to be another statistic. Good luck to you, and gather up your strength, tell your mom.

I think that it would probably be best to tell your mother that you are in counseling first and then explain to her why. Just tell her that you are very upset. Tell her simply that you are very depressed and that you are seeking help for it. That is all you really can do. I don’t know your mom, obviously, but I don’t think that she would judge you for the way you feel. Seeing as how you are her daughter I would hope that she would want to help you. I know that it may be very difficult to tell her what you are feeling, but I think you need to. If there is anything you need to ask me just contact me personally.
