I've come to post in this post/chapter a bunch of new facts and info on my mental health issue that I really want as many of your thoughts, insights, advice, tips and more on all these. This morning my sister, Emily came in to ask me what I included in the email I had sent to my parents that lead them to choosing to cancel their plans of going to a friend's cottage for the weekend. I explained some points of some symptoms
I've been experiencing and how I've been trying my best with what little control and energy for with helping myself get better. To feel better, to be more sociable, to be more responsible, to be more smart about my life choices with jobs, career, friends, and hoping I soon get a love life (a boyfriend, sometime soon whenever that time comes).
But as I explained some of the symptoms as explaining how much I've tried, it doesn't stick nor last long enough to continue on. She doesn't see it as a mental illness like depression. She has some friends (Kelly, Mae and Jenna who have depression and are taking pills/antidepressants) and from what she told me: they aren't working in positive ways and make them feel like crap and others too. And my mom had a long talk with me and she still doesn't like what I've done to try to get better, and she hates and is against using antidepressants.
What are your thoughts on all this?
