Alright, after reading your second post, I came here to read the original one you mentioned. I'm so sorry about the situation you are in with your parents. It's so difficult to have parents who don't understand why you're depressed, so they think you should just be able to man up and handle it. That drives me insane.

It can be really difficult to open up to people about your problems, and I think the reason you didn't want to open up to the psychologist was because of the reactions you've gotten from your parents. Maybe you feared the same response from him, subconsciously? I also understand your reservations about taking Zoloft, many people feel that way about it. However, my issues dramatically improved once I started taking it in combination with Xanax. They were a life saver. My depression started around 13 or 14, and I'm 22 now. I can honestly say that due to my medications, my life has gotten a LOT better.
