Silas, an additional problem is often that women tend to show all the stereotypical depressive symtoms - like weeping, sadness, melancholy., etc - that our culture has conditioned us to think are the "real" symptoms of depression. Men often don't, or don't to the same degree, not because they don't feel the pain, but because those avenues aren't open. Women who don't emote the same way as men can get the same reaction when they say they are depressed, but aren't sobbing wildly or talking death or manage to get themselves into the shower now and then. All too often people think they "Know" how people who are really depressed should act, because they see it in the movies.
I'm really sorry that your folks have reacted like that. That really hurts, and I am inclined to agree with rohag. For whatever reason, your folks aren't able to ive you the support you need, and it's time to turn to a councilor or maybe a pastor. At any rate you need professional help to deal with this, because you can't o this one alone, hon. Best wishes and HUUGGSSSS
