Hello.
Yesterday I was talking with my mom about how my voices have gotten louder and I’ve been paranoid, then she says it because of my depression. The thing is i don’t believe I’ve experienced another true depressive episode since my first one. I don’t feel depressed at all. When I asked her why she stated that she think so because I spend all my time in my room, don’t do what I used to, that I don’t have motivation, and that I appear sad. But I don’t feel sad, worthless, or hopeless, in fact I feel just fine. Like in a normal mood. I don’t even close to my previous episode. Yet when I tried to convince her that I’m not depressed she wouldn’t let it go. Why would she continue this and how do I convince her that I’m not depressed? __________________ "The Japanese say you have three faces, The first the one you show the world, the second to your close friends and your family and the third face you never show anyone it is the truest reflection of who you are." -unknown |

She's likely worried for you, and is picking up signs of depression. Not doing things and isolating in your room would make a parent think you are possibly depressed.
How to get her to stop thinking that? Maybe take her to an appt. with you to a doctor and have them evaluate you for depression. Are you on medication? |

Yes, I’m on medication. I suppose I could ask my therapist if she thinks I appear depressed or ask for an assessment.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
