i feel like my parents are not helping me enough with my depression, so i resent!


Question: I feel like my parents are not helping me enough with my depression, so i resent them, is this justified?
im suffering from depression due multiple reasons. tmau/bdd etc etc

my parents did take me to see a doctor who said i need to take anti depressants. But im not going to take them due to multiple reasons... parents dont believe in it, makes my tmau worse..

my mum told me "you just have to try lift yourself out of that mood." that has been the only thing said about my depression issue
And yep.......that was like months ago, and they havnt said anything about it since. Its just distressing when you feel like your going to blow ur head off any second and ur parents r making u feel like its the easiest thing to get out of.

Basically i dont know if im right in feeling resentment towards them, or if thats just normal for people that have depression to experience. I mean.....SHOULD my parents be talking about this to me? My dad knows i feel like commiting suicide like 24/7, he saw me have a emotional break down in church where i ran out crying, he knows i turned up to none of my final exams. But still nothing happens.
I literally have no one to talk to about it. I've lost all my friends...they dont care anyway. My sister is not close with me etc.

Answers:

Can you talk to someone about all of this? It sounds like you need some support! Talk to a trusted adult about what's happening and ask if they can help you come up with suggestions in talking to your parents. Also, get closer with your parents. I know how difficult that can be, I am also not so good with my parents. But I think if you really sit down and talk to them about this that you all can come up with solutions for you.
