Does anyone else feel this way?
I have totally experienced this. You get legitimately upset about something and the response is "Have you taken your pill today?" It's just like asking if you have PMS. It's totally invalidating! Just because you have depression or anxiety it doesn't mean there's anything wrong with your perception of reality!
