Argh.. Parents..

[Cindex]

Well last night I snuck out with my friend Macy. We just drove around for a while and talked and things. I was out for about 5 hours. I snuck out at 11 and came back at about 4.

Well longish story but my brother didn't help me and I got caught, even though I've covered for him every time he's asked. Dick.....

Anyways, before I left my parents had this talk about me being depressed. They wanted me to go on antidepressants.

So in the morning my dad walked downstairs suprisingly calm, and said we need to talk. It was only like 7 so I said when I wake up. He said fine. So about 10:15 my mom came downstairs and started ranting about me not being responsible for myself and how I'm hurting more than myself. How I'm keeping her up at night trying to make sure I don't go vandalize something.

Naturally, I was pissed. My mother always gets on me for doing stupid things and I've never done any of them! I have no trust from her. I can't talk to her because she's always right, and then I argue and she accuses me of trying to always be right. Frustrating.

Anyways, now they both want to stick me in therapy and put me on antidepressants. I REALLY don't want to do either. Antidepressants scare me, because of the power they have over you. I've done pot, but this is different.

Therapy is just.... Wrong....

Basically, I just need a way out of it. I'm fine keeping to myself, and I don't want pills. Help? :(

Way out of what? Maybe I'm too sleepy to get it but this whole threads seems like a ''I want my parents to leave me alone'' and almost like a ''I am depressed but don't want to do anything about it''

Since I'm too lazy to re-read such a thread..

If your depressed you need pills & theraphy

If you want your parents to leave you alone you must find a way to please them

Out of therapy and pills. It scares me.
Yes, it kind of is.

They're never pleased. I'm never good enough for them. I'm always a burden.

Edit: I'm not depressed. I'm sick. I... Fooled around with someone and they bit through my skin and I got a bad infection. I'm just slow for quite a while.\

Since you asked........

First, try to look at this from their perspective: Your sneaking out all night doesn't exactly make you look angelic, right? If you want them to think differently of you (and treat you differently) you might NOT want to give them the ammo they need. They are reacting to your behavior.

If you cannot see the wisdom of this, or if you cannot control the urge to slip out in the middle of the night, therapy might be a very good idea. It will help you learn self control and better judgement, and it might give you the perspective to see how your own behavior influences the opinion of others (your folks). Don't respond to their suggestion for therapy based on your feelings of them 'controlling' you or telling you what to do, or your preconceptions of what it's like, but rather as an opportunity to either learn some new skills, gain their trust, or at the very least, have an ally to support you in your ongoing issues with your folks, should they prove to be really off base.
