Ugh. I was rather depressed when I still lived with my mum. I had a lot of the "don't" things said to me. Was told I was doing it to get attention and that I wasn't actually depressed, and that "life is unfair". Also at one point I was told by mum that she and a friend of hers had been discussing the possibility of me having aspergers (mum yelled it at me in an argument), which I don't. I'm introverted, but that doesn't mean there's anything wrong with me. Definitely not helpful, what they said to me, in any case. :/ I don't think they understood it. Which.. I don't get, because my brother has since been put on anti-depressants and they're actually helping him with it (or at very least, admitting he's depressed and needs help).
The thing that got me out of mine, other than moving out, was having my flist around and their support. And my best friend, Bec. I love my friends. ♥ Occasionally I'll have a bad day now, but I know now that I have people in my life who care and will help me instead of the other thing. So. Yep. That's me.
