I'm a freshman in college now. I've basically had issues with depression, anxiety, and self harm since I was around 11. My parents found out about it back then, but I don't think they took it seriously, and I definitely kind of downplayed it. So, I never told anyone about my problems before.
Once I came to my school (which is my dream school, in my dream city) I learned about the resources here. They basically put a lot of emphasis on their mental health services because they've had a history of suicides. So, I decided to go. It's been about a month, and since then I've been assigned a therapist and psychiatrist, and put into group therapy. I've also been prescribed an antidepressant. At this point, it feels kind of major, and not telling my parents is making me feel extremely guilty (not great for anxiety or depression.) But, I'm afraid telling them will only upset them and they'll force me to come back home.
Any advice?
