Oh, my stars, can I relate. My sister not only thinks that therapy is self-indulgent, but that if my faith were stronger I wouldn't need meds. My mother says if I need to talk, I should talk to her or my pastor, like I want them to know how crazy the neighborhood is in my head. Oh, and if I pray hard enough, I won't need meds. And of course, my psychiatrist must not be a Christian, or he wouldn't give me Xanax.
