I haven't explained my situation to my family yet.how do i come out?how do i tell them what all i go through evry day without worrying them too?

Dear Zombita,
Do you live with your family? If you do, they probably already sense something is wrong. If you are young (living with parent{s}), there are many possible reactions but the mostly likely one is that it will be a good thing to tell them. For instance, in my case, I can usually sense when something is amiss and I jump to the worst possible conclusions; therefore, I would be relieved. It can be really hard to ask for and accept help. Some parents might at first be in denial and therefore be sort of dismissive. Admittedly, it must be terribly hard for those who reach out and are dismissed but you still need to try. And sometimes someone might be in denial at first but later come around. If they care about you, I'm sure it will be good to tell them. Again, I have to constantly remind myself to ask for help. Most people want to be helpful. If you are married then being truthful and open is important for a healthy marriage. I find that the best time to talk to my husband is when we take our daily walks. There are no distractions. I know it's not easy.
Sincerely, Myst

When people care for you, they worry when something is wrong. That's what people do. Be clear about what's going on, and what you do and don't need from them. Tell them what is helpful and what is not. And trust them to be able to cope. It might take some time for them to assimilate the information, but open communication will ease the way. Good luck.

i wish you luck.

telling my family ended up to be the worst thing i'd ever done in my life (though they were never supportive of me, depression or not)

hopefully you have a loving caring family, and can tell them

if you don't want to talk directly, try printing some stuff out from the internet to do with depression

I took all the suggestions and well my parents just laughed at me.i guess they really never supported me much when it comes to anything else other than education.

Thanks for the suggestion.ive told my parents about wht im sort of going through right now.i just got laughed at and my parents havent even noticed any change at all for the past few months.They never asked me why im skipping meals or why i wake up so many times in the middle of the night.they aren't concerned about anything else other than my grades.theyve dropped really low and they believe im trying to use this as an excuse for that.

They laughed at you? Did they say anything?
