How do I break it to my parents that I'm never going to get better
| You know, just because you're condition is life long doesn't mean you won't learn to deal with it. You may not get well ever, but getting a little bit better is by no means impossible.
You should sit down with your parents and tell them this is something you're going to be wrestling with for your whole life, and that it's not just a phase.

It's for you to deal with my g/u/rl. I'm chronically depressed. I knew that before my doc told me. My parents knew way before I did. They never speak to me about my mood, they never ask me why I don't talk about it.
A year ago, my parents found me in the shittiest crisis I'd ever had. I was panicked like mad.
Just remembering what went on inside my head brings tears to my eyes... They stayed with me until I calmed down, the whole night.
They knew it was hard.
| They told me I was just having a bad day. And I never believed those words. I simply couldn't, I knew I wouldn't be fine after because what I think about can't be considered fine. The anxiety is just engraved in my head now.
But you know what? There's no fucking way they're gonna tell me: "You won't get better, we know it".
They don't say it because I just can't stand those words. These words make me angry. Just like the words "Don't worry, you'll get better".
| I easily get depressed, but that's just part of me. I lost a shit-ton of hair in the past 5 years. I have long hair, and my parents worry a lot when seeing the amount I lose, because a lot has happened that really weighted me down. I need to go on, I can't let this have the better of me.
My guess is not that they're brushing it off. But that's probably their wish for you. That they see you in better shape soon.
That proves they know it's a really nasty condition.
| Tl;dr:
They most likely already know.
| I know they likely know, its just theyve never been emotionally close or talk about feelings or major life things, they just sort of ignore their failure-to-launch adult child living off them with no future prospects and don't seem interested in helping rectify it

Why the fuck do you care what they think? Go out and live your depressed/anxiety life. Hanging around them isn't doing you any good.

Yet my parents just want to brush it off and assume its just a phase that will end eventually... Even though I'm in my mid 20's at this point
