Even after I confessed about suicidal thoughts my family is still pressuring me to get married.

I recently confessed to my parents that I have been having suicidal thoughts since last four years and I don't want to get married
But my parents are hellbent still on me getting married and are pressuring me to get married .
Don't know what to do ?

I'm really sorry that kind of pressure sucks. And sucks more that they're prioritizing it over your mental well being and basic needs. Is it a cultural or religious reason or like they think that will make all your problems go away?

They actually think that getting married and having a family will make my depression go away.

They wont understand this , you have to stand your ground , marrying will make it only worse due to additional responsibilities and more stress. Once you get married they will ask for kids , it's a never ending cycle.
