I've been struggling with depression for a year and a half now , and of course my parents know . I went into a psych ward in May and was released after a 72 hour hold and put on medication immediately and watched closely. Anyway the self harm has stopped but I still am depressed. I need to leave school so I have time to sort this out and get better while I am still doing school work . Please help?
How do I get my parents to agree to letting me go on idipendant study?

I'm very sorry that you have been experiencing such pain. I also at one time suffered from moderate depression and it truly can be debilitating. What helped me was coming to terms with the fact that I have control over my life. The things I choose to think about and the things I choose to do effect how I feel. When I chose to stay at home and isolate myself from people I would only fuel the negative feelings. If you have a bible read proverbs 18:1. If not you can read it online at JW.org. On that website you will also find articles about how to overcome depression, just type the word in the search bar. Changing how we feel is not always easy, but with the right knowledge you will overcome these negative feelings.
