My parents are different?

0

Ever since my doctor out me on antidepressants, my parents no longer trust me to be okay. I’m not joking when I say each parent would give me life advice each day after school. I just want them to treat me as their daughter, not their queen. I come home and instead of sanctuary I find discomfort with my own family. Help me?!

As a parent myself I can kind of see where there are coming from, and having just had my son seek help for feeling depressed I know that I am feeling worried. I think that if you speak to your parents and tell them how you don't need extra special treatment, that just knowing they are there if you need to talk, and get them to trust you that you will do that then things would change. I know if my son told me that he would talk to me if he needed to then it would certainly ease my worries. Good luck.

I think that they're just worried about you. They might seem to overreacting or annoy you sometimes or treating you like you're a queen, but I'm still sure that they care about you and want you to feel good and happy and that's the reason why they act different. The best thing you can do is talk to them about it, I guess. Just tell them you appreciate what they're doing, but that it is not needed and you'd rather have them act like nothing happened/nothing is wrong, that that's a better thing to do than what they are doing now. They should understand that, and hopefully start act normal again. Still, you should know that they probably don't mean it in a bad way and just want to help you.
