Something that you can do, is to be a happy person. They would not assume that you are depreseed if you werent acting in such a behavior that would lead them to think that. If you just smile, compliment, and try to be around them, they will eventually think that you arent depressed. :)

Act as if you are happy and such and then your family will lay off. Hope this helps.

well i don't know how you have been doing. you may show symptons of it, but if you are young and dealing with something then you should talk to them. but if you aren't just talk to them adn ask them why they think that and tell them what's been going on, so they won't feel like that adn bug you because i was depresse and everyone asked me too-but it was true with me. but just talk to them!

try smiling a little more when you're around them.
maybe try and start up some kind of conversation? if you stop talking to your family altogether, they will eventually think somethings wrong..

You could try being happier around them. Dress perkier or smile or laugh a lot. Have your friends over a lot and just be over all nicer. Hope I helped!

Try to remember that they are only doing this because they love you and they want you to be happy. You said that for once you are not depressed? If that means that you once were depressed then you should know that depression can come in waves. You can feel great right now and then really depressed later. I think the best way to deal with your problem is to tell them straight out what you're feeling. You should say something like, "Listen, I'm really not depressed. I am actually feeling really good lately and you constantly asking me if I'm depressed is making feel bad. If I do feel depressed, I'll tell you, but for now I'm not and I would appreciate it if you would stop asking me about it." Tell them that you know they are asking out of love & concern. They will probably feel reassured if you tell them that you will let them know if you are feeling depressed. I hope I've helped somewhat. Good Luck.

Love, Rainbow
