She said those things because she doesn’t know any better. It’s sad but very common.
Get to a doctor. You may need medical help.
It’s not too late to turn things around. Please keep coming back here and let us know how you are doing.
Many, many hugs.
people who don’t know, don’t understand. they just can’t. try to see a doctor.
It’s an unfortunate misunderstanding. Depression has been confirmed to be a disease… or at the very least a mental illness. Regardless, I seriously doubt that she meant anything I’ll from it. The type of depression that she thought you have was a short-term mood… kinda like having the blues for a day. Actual clinical depression is of course very different. Those people who have never had depression simply don’t know what it is like or what it is. Don’t be too hard on her on that front… but I COMPLETELY understand your frustration though. 100% as I too have run into people and their misconception of depression.
Medication can definitely help if you’re non-medicated. If you haven’t done so already, contact your local healthy authority. Don’t be hesitant on contacting a crisis help line either. It’s worth a shot…..
PS…. I struggle with depression and yes, medication does help me. I’m confident that it can help you too. Notwithstanding what I’ve mentioned above, consider talking with a family member… parents maybe?
