This morning, my mother gave me another reason to hate the stereotypes of depression. I told her that I was thinking about bringing up my anxiety to my doctor and possibly looking into something to help me over come it. She immediately started into how pills are addictive and how I am already on so many other medications (mainly health wise, only one for my depression) and how I will become addicted to all of it. I was considering pills, but I would accept anything that he tells me that will help. My mother cannot really tell me what to do with my health, because I am 18 and it is my decision to keep her informed about what I am thinking medication wise. But she is convinced that I am going to become a drug addict in order to "numb" any feelings. I am so sick and tired of it. Because I know better. And I would rather spend my money on other things than on drugs. I am just sick and tired of it all.
