| My family has a history of depression, and I've had some problems with it. My mom put me in therapy and put me on medications last year, when things were really bad.
Now I'm healthier, and she's gotten worse. She's had mood-swings and sometimes she'll just start crying. My dad got her to admit that she's struggling with depression, but I overheard them talking about it and she said she wasn't "weak enough" to go on medication.
I have never felt so hurt or stupid. My mother thinks I'm weak for going on medication for depression. I didn't ever tell anyone that I overheard it. I guess it's not that big of a deal, but to me it is.
I just wish she took me seriously. I never tried to make this a big deal. |
