My sister told my mom that I am taking an anti-depressant. I got off the phone with my mom a few minutes ago. She never mentioned it. I kept thinking about it and never said anything. I don't want to end up with a "pink elephant" in between our conversations. I had this same problem with my T. She kept mentioning the option and I would just kind of listen grudgingly to her. I finally decided to try it and now my mom knows. I don't want my mom to think I'm mentally ill, nuts or crazy. I will have to talk to her about this sooner or later. But, I just seem to not get the words out. I HATE MY STUPID, CRAPPY LIFE! My T thinks I should talk to her and try to point out how it helps me. I think if I mention how it helps me, the low level of side effects and the temporary use of it, I think she wouldn't mind too much. But, I have a bad feeling that it will take forever for me to talk to her about it.
