Hi Friend

If your sadness continues for more than 6 weeks and you can't get out of it then its a symptom of depression. Therapy and medication can be a costly affair and that may be the reason your parents putting it off. people also don't understand this and want you to snap out of it.

don't struggle too much. just imagine that some brain chemicals are messing up and that you can't directly control them. so now you try out things that can control those brain chemicals. get started with what 'Vital' has offered you in the above post. start slow and take your own time. it can be overwhelming and dissuade you. but keep trying.
