Was told that a lot when I was first diagnosed with depression. My husband at the time was not very understanding of my illness that’s why he became my ex- husband. My current husband of 20 years is excellent and my advocate for me and my depression. I also have Targive dyskinesia from taking depression medication for 38 years. Medication for that is $13,000 a month thank goodness for excellent medical insurance with the union.

Absolutely ..I get made fun of called names I'm around alot of toxic energy it's not easy just to snap out of it ! I know how much it hurts to be always told get over it I only wish it was that easy but unfortunately with our illness if they can't understand what your going through you have to eliminate toxic people for your own sanity ! 🥰

Ever since I was a young child. Even then, I recognized I was not like the other children. My mother used to patronize me for it. She never saw it as a problem, nor did she Consider finding me help. When I was 21, however, she ended up finding out.
This was the one and only time she saw out for me. I started my eating disorders at age nine
The therapist they took me to was a crackpot. He kept over and over, asking me if I had been sexually abused. I adamantly told him several times that nothing like that had ever happened to me.
Why he should’ve asked us if I had an overcontrolling mother. He never did though, but if he did, it could’ve made a big difference in my life.
