I've been thinking a lot about this and i was wondering how my parents feel about me being an unhappy person. I know they always try to make me happy and they want the BEST for me, but i'm always crying about how depressed i feel. I dont know why i'm sad all the time but iam.I think that my parents are really upset and they feel like they cant make me happy no matter what they do. Thinking that they feel like that makes ME upset. I'm just wondering, what would you feel like if you were my parents and you had a daughter that cant get happy even when you try SO hard to make her happy?

I cant be sure but it must be extremely hard on them. Your are their gem and their offspring, an extension of their life so to see you hurting hurts them. As parents it is natural to try and solve everything. I think you may have to bite the bullet and sit and talk with them and see if there is anything they can do. If not I say try a psychologist. In my opinion i dont think young people should be on antidepressants or any mind altering drugs.
Kinda off subject if you drink alcohol try to stop because it is a depressant and can be a contributing factor as well as weed.

Hum...first of all u should worry about U imho. The core of the problem is U and ur mood. Solving UR problem u surely will make ur parents happy. But, it's a personal issue and just if u want share with us ur problem, maybe we can help.
All I can do for ya now, is to "supose" what do ya pass and try to cheer u up, for u search a solution and solve once for all ur problem.
Do ya live in Canada, me in Brazil. Of course, everyone is unique and suffer in unique ways, but look for my country: Here ppl doent have any garantees if they'll be medicated if they get sick unless they pay ( with U$ 400 average per month ) States have 46% taxes ( nearly of 50% in Canada ) but don't repass it for ppl and the most terrible think: State protects bandits to keep ppl scary and continue in power.
Yeah, we live in a dictature pretending be democracy. Ppl lives like in jails ( caged trying to protect themselves ) while bandits walks free everywhere.
Also, in a ultimate universal way: Universe's gonna colapse in 10bi years, so all we know will be less then memory...it should be desappointing, but what do will left for others ppl? Ur parents, they effort to rise u is in vain? Don't u think u should try to give back all the love and work they had to rise ya? What matter is what we do in our time...and we have few, so we must give ur best...
U live in a amazing country, where States cares about U, like ur parents and surely, ur friends. Even if u have a unmaginable problem u can take care of it more easy then lot of ppl, u can count with a way more tools as well, so don't give up and go foward, ppl don't wanna see u unhappy and they expect U to fight, cuz it's UR battle, they'll just suport ya, but the main effort should come from ya.
Think about that, u can be happy if u want, I'm unhappy too and I have careless parents, no money and no social assist, but I'll never give up!
Well...I told too much, but I hope to help.
Now cheer up and good luck!

I am a father, and I have been blessed that my children were happy kids...It would break my heart if I couldnt "fix" them, as a father should be able to. It sounds to me like you are very blessed to have such understanding and caring parents. Maybe start asking them questions about their childhood, and eventually you might find something that they did as kids that intrests you. That would get your depression off your mind for a while and make them feel like they are helping you in some small way, and who knows.....just maybe they will! Good Luck and have a Merry Christmas. I will be thinking about you and yours

If you were my daughter, I would feel frustrated and anxious, but I would also encourage you to consult a doctor and get some antidepressant medication. I would also realise that I don't have the power to make you happy ~ only you have that power. I would want you to take control of your own life and feelings.

They and you need to understand that no one can make you happy but yourself. Happiness comes from inside oneself, no one and no thing can "make" you happy. Once you learn more about how your mind works and learn to control it, you will find that inner happiness, and then nothing on this earth can make you unhappy. That, in large part, is what life is about...learning who you are, and finding those things inside you that create your happiness.

What exactly makes you happy? What is it your parents can do to make you happy. Make a list and sort it out. Good Luck!

I am a parent and I would feel not only concerned, but helpless. I do hope you're on medication and are exercising to improve this situation.
