how tf do I tell my parents who don’t understand mental illness that I’m feeling depressed, suicidal and want to leave. I am staying here for two weeks in my childhood home town with my parents

Ofc open communication is always a good thing if they will be receptive to it. But if you don’t think they will understand then do what you have to do

Honestly if they are anything like my parents i personally would just leave to protect my mental health. They can’t stop you you’re an adult. If you have a friend you can stay with do it.
