OMG that makes me soooo angry!!! How dare they say that only weak stupid people take them. I wish I could go to work with you. I would mop the floor with them. They are the ignorant ones. I fight depression everyday and if it weren't for the anti-depressants, I am sure I would have checked out long ago.
This just infuriates me that people can be so stupid about depression.
Honey, try to ignore them although I know that's hard to do. Stick with the friend who tried to help you. That is a friend.
Good luck to you and know that there are many, many of us who are all upset about them talking to you like this.
