How To Cope With Overbearing And Non-understanding Parents?
I feel that I am suffering from depression.
The main reason is that I had a bad childhood due to un-understanding parents. Felt that I was always misunderstood. When i was 15 I got into the habit of cutting my hands with blade due to the trauma faced at home. My parents believed that it was due to some guy I was in love with. Then an year late I found a friend with whom I could talk and share about my family problems and when my parents found out that I have such a friend they labeled us as lesbians and told me to stop talking to her.
Even 9 years later, situation is still the same. Am 25 now and have been working in an MNC since past 2 years. I had a fracture in my leg 5 months ago where my left tibia snapped into two, and had to go home. Now am back and my mother has come back with me. Not just to help but also to take a look at my lifestyle because before the fracture there was an incident with a guy + drinks. Although nothing had happened and that incident was no way related to the fracture but still I get to hear a 100 times in a day that I am a characterless person and I destroyed my life and that my mother will keep on staying with me till she marries me off respectably.
I am from India and here in my city I could not even find a decent psychiatrist to consult with. I feel suicidal because there is no reason to go on. I am writing here maybe because am looking for a hope to live.

Dear
Welcome to HCM

I went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. I do not know why are you thinking bad about your parents. They always tried to keep you better. You know them after 5 years or so. Before that you do not know. They always tried to give you a better life. They are still doing it. They want you to prosper and that is why they always advise you. If they were your enemies, why should they advise you? Why should your come with you to look after you? You are misunderstanding the whole story. Please understand them, they are your parents. They know you better than you yourself.

Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.
Good luck.
