Discussion Parents worrying about you.

[CFLoser]

Do you people have any tricks or ways to make them stop? Anything to do or say or act?

My parents generally call me once in a while, and I just tell them that things are going ok. Before I was working, my parents would call me at least once a week, sometimes twice a week, so I try to put up a front that things are going ok just so they won't keep pressing me for details and stuff. I never talk about ctb with them since I don't want them to "worry" and complicate things.

They don't.
And if they notice something - they say "im stupid" or "dumber than average"

I guess im actually lucky..don't have to hide anything.

Honestly I think it's easier to acquire the US' nuclear launch codes than to fake feeling good in front of your parents. They just see right through you. You can lie and say you're feeling better every day and that it'll be over soon though, but they will always be able to tell if things aren't ok.

I can't hide my symptoms because sometimes I don't realize when they are so bad. My family has recently been hounding me about going to the hospital. There is nothing they can do though because I deny deny deny.....

None of that happens in general

My parents once asked me if I was suicidal, and I said no. Other than that, they are used to me being a depressed loser I guess. ¯\(ツ)/¯

If you don't live with them, pretend to be Busy ™ being a Responsible Adult® Or a Hotshot Partier, super tired from doing my taxes or parties and brunch, call you next week and establish a baseline of seldom in depth communication...
