grrrr...again

Some things I just don't tell my family anymore - the chance of support is often less than the chance of judgment. I've been very open in the past - and that's why I'm taking this approach now. I do understand. I've been there.

depression is often a chemical imbalance and you have no control over it.

yes your conditions seem to make you more suspetable to depression.

don't let it bother you it is real and you can not just shack it off.

i know it is hard, but things will get better, and often families find it hard to believe you can have so many problems at once.

good luck mg

Has anyone had to deal with the stigma of depression and anti-depressants with family? Not all of my darling family is supportive. Some have that attitude of that I should just get over it, or it is just one more thing I am complaining about. I'm tired of explaining and justifying myself. My ic is flaring, my fibro is acting up, i'm cranky and achy, and still feeling the effects of the new meds.
