Sometimes that's all you can do, and the best solution is to talk to a therapist. That's what i did. if I tried to talk to my Mom about it, she just pooh-poohed everything, making light of the whole thing. Well, it wasn't "light" to me!!! To me, it was a big deal and it messed up my life! Liviing at home was horrible, and my other 3 sisters alll have severe depression too, so it's not just me.
Therapy was the best thing for me because I was validated and I knew it wasn't all in my head! My therapist let me know that I had a reason to be depressed, and that my home life WAS horrendous. That's what I needed --- validation! Plus I had a lot of "garbage" to get rid of too.
I wish you the very best. Please take care of yourself! Hugs, Lee
