I think you did the right thing....
it's like when my mother says to me that people shouldn't be 'proud' to be an anti-depressants.. myself and my brother in law are not PROUD to be on them but we also recognise that we were both STRONG enough to get help when help was needed.... Her (my mum) saying that it's an embrassment to be on medication... just discourages poeple from asking for help.

Everyone is allowed to have their opinions.. but sometimes they should just keep them to themselves imo.
