You dont have to win today, you just need to keep fighting today.

Depression for you, ad you see and feel it, is different to what other people such as your parents may see. Most of the time we look in a mirror and only see our face n hair. Yet we often forget or even cannot see the rest of us if not full lenght mirror.

My point is you see live feel and know depression. Its what faces you every day, and that is probably all you can cope with. Your parents may see more....your needs for a car for new job, your need to get well- hence funding therapy. unless they have experienced depression they are not going to understand, and its unrealistic to think they would. It sounds like in practical ways they are trying to fix something they don't understand how to fix.....and their frustrated loving efforts make you feel guilty because you know its not the material side of thing thats the problem.

Be patient with them. It sounds like they're trying to be supporting, allbeit in ways you don't really need yet. But don't beat yourself up because they dont get it and you cant fix it or snap to it...your all working together just from different angles.

You will get there, and hopefully they can continue to be part of that support network you need. In the meantime help yourself as much as you can by baby steps, small ecpectations often, and staying on meds, off alcohol etc.

Life will and does go on. It will get better.plz keep posting here. You'll find a lot of people who want to be supportive and will offer good advice.
