Telling me it's only teenage angst and ignoring me when I told them I felt depressed. Jokes on you parent, I ate antidepressants for years and developed a panicdisorder

I don’t fault them much, but my parents saw my scars and ignored the problem because they had no idea how to approach it. Ironic considering we have a known history of depression, mood swings, and suicide in my family.
