Print what you wrote here and hand it to them if you cannot say the words to them.

When there is little understanding of what depression is, they of course will act like you are fragile. It's obvious that they love you or they wouldn't have made the effort.

Sit down with them and talk as openly as you can. Have some educational material for them to read if needed so they can learn about depression. If there is something specific that is affecting you and it's written about in the material, then circle it so they have an idea of how you are feeling.

Just some ideas for you. I hope you are feeling better soon. Good for you for making an appointment with a therapist. Wishing you well ((((((((((( whoever )))))))))))
