Are you miserable or depressed when you’re around your parents? When battling depression, it’s important you have a strong support system, and that includes having a supportive family. But it can be difficult when it’s your parents that are causing some of the trauma you’re trying to undo.

If there's one thing that you could change magically about your life, what would that be and why?
tho this was 4years ago i still suffer from depression and i relate to 3 6 5 and 9 ..
..I'm used to this being a disappointment…I'm barely good at anything my mom and dad always push me to my limit and expect me to do better…but in reality my parents and teachers are failing me to learn better I just…wish that I can go to another school where there's no rules….But sometimes those dreams can be disappointing
The fact i feel everything what is shown in the video is what i feel around my parents…
I don't know why but they like yelling at me or making me angry/sad… (expect number 8)
There was a time that I didn't pick my phone because it was on silent mode and when they got home he chased me around the house and kicked my knee
5 of ther signs did my parents
I want to Just go Away from Earth to teach my Bich Parents a lesson
I wanna leave home so bad
I'm depressed because my mom said I got in trouble for not eating and not hearing her while calling my friend and in trouble for crying
My mom always tells me “hey go watch tv” I lose something than it’s ALWAYS “it’s because your watching that stupid tv and not paying attention if you have all your stuff” WHAT-
REVOLUTION !!!!!
"Sometimes not only children but parents can also lie.. "
This is the quote i learned myself..The experience i am feeling right now is terrible. I didn't expect my father to be like this. Until now, i didn't know he was showing the signs of slight toxic behavior and emotional manipulation.. Its 4 in the morning, raining while the light is stroking aswell and i am writing this, unable to sleep, stressed about everything happening in life, still a minor but already has alot of problems. I am wondering why do i have to go through this at such a young age. I don't know if i am gonna get depression or am showing signs of depression or just over-reacting. I am glad i at least have my mom and god. I hope i pass by this experience as i am still a child and i don't know what to decide properly. I am feeling light after venting a little.. Whoever is going through the same don't worry your not alone..
When I was younger my dad beat me with a belt for no reason and every time I accidentally make him mad I say I’m sorry I’m sorry over and over and sometimes still he gets the belt out but now bc I’m older I run outside and sometimes he even comes out
my parents give me anxiety and then tell me that i need therapy
Thank you (9/27/2024)
this made me think of my dad and i started crying…
Mum hates me
Half of them I suffered with
They never stop reminding and telling you how useless you are whenever you make a mistake 😢
“Go and get yourself a job”…. “ are you not ashamed at your age im still feeding you “.
“Im just doing this because i love you ”
Me:Really?! being depressed
I wish I had parents that support my dream
no do not brace up you will not be fine
another one is that they don’t believe you what whenever your brother and sister says that you done something to them but you did not
I always feel exhausted after being with my mom, and I don't feel safe changing, having different opinions than her and just being around her makes me anxious. my dad is rlly nice and supportive but he works to I don't get to be with him a lot . I don't have any siblings that I can talk to, so I usually end up talking to my online friend or not saying anything at all.
Psych2Go cares about me more than my own parents combined!
My parents divorced I never loved my dad he was drunk and releasing his anger on me I got a step dad now and my mom doesn’t love me anymore and always yelling at me for no reason my mom made me gift my apple watch to my step dad which I hate I didn’t want to cuz it was a gift from my uncle which I reallly love He bought my mom an iPhone 15 for my bday I got nothing from both of them I get physical abused by me mother And soon is my bday I wanted to get myself an iPhone 16 pro which I had the money for but my mom doesn’t even want to buy it He got him a 2k dollars gift for him I hope I escape her soon and go to my uncle
😢 I was riding my bike with my friends until my dad got angry at me and he called me in and I said and my mom said put the bike in there I'm like okay and then my dad like I was yelling at her because she got me angry and then my dad came out and and I looked away and he put my bike and broke it and now I don't have any bikes in those only bike that I had to have some breakfast he was angry at me he was he was hitting me
not so fun facts!! : my mom was watching a video the other day that was talking about “signs you’re emotionally abusive” and she was thinking out loud saying “no i dont do that” or “who would do that” and i was sitting there listening to the video talk about everything shes done to me 😭🙏
Oh shit I think my 9 year old lil brother has depression
