Hi, I'm having difficulties communicating with my parents. I'm not sure what happened to me. Last year, I somehow fell into depression but I have gotten a lot better recently. I feel really good about myself now. But there are still times that I don't feel good or am just irritated. I have some weird mood swings and my parents don't seem to get that. My dad is very straight-minded. It's his way or no way. I feel like he doesn't care about my opinions and usually always puts me down. My mom, it appears, just wants me to be better so I can not be a pain in the butt.
All I ask are a few tips to how to talk with them.
