I'm just gonna write this and not worry if it's grammatically correct or not making much sense.

I don't understand how a therapist can change the effects of depression. Why would seeing a therapist help? How would talking benefit your depression.

It dawned on me or rather I was forced to realize that i need a therapist. In order for me to try to live life, in order for me to move on, in order to move away from the past I need to see a therapist. And now I'm finally game to try it again.
However I need my parents to be game to it too. Several of you already know my parents attitude towards all this. They think it's all trash and snap out of it kind of thing.

Here comes the reason of this post.
How do i tell my parents? How can I have a decent conversation with them? I don't need to tell them but I would if I want insurance to cover it. How can I speak to them and have them understand. I want to know how I can try to make them see the need, to make them realize that it might actually be a good thing. How to have a successful, mature and intelligent conversation with them? A conversation where I don't just give up and stop participating in.

If possible I'd appreciate opinions and views from all to see a parents viewpoint and my own. Thanks.
