I have anxiety and depression really. I'm on medication and still struggling. Crying a lot. My family won't talk to me and I am hurting very bad. They are mad because I'm on medication. They won't come to my appts with. Right now I need someone and have no one to talk to.

Hi I am sorry to hear this, it must be very hurtful for you. Do they understand that you need the meds and they are helping you? It sounds like they have no idea how anxiety/depression can impact on you. Print some stuff off the internet as it might help them understand a bit better. Maybe not give it to them but leave it around where they can find it instead?

Ask them if they would say stop the meds if you had a physical injury instead. If you broke your leg for example would they be like this if you took painkillers? No of course they wouldn't, but it does sound like they are in denial. Tell them they are making things worse for you by having this attitude and if they loved you they would be part of the solution and not part of the problem.

However your welfare is most important so please think very carefully before you make any decisions. I hope this helps a bit.

Unfortunately family which should be most supportive can be the least and as much as it hurts and a person want to please loved ones you have to think of yourself and what you need to help you. I hope it all works out for you stay strong.

God slings us with violence in to dark and miserable holes and it is his responsibility and his alone for our escape, all we have to do is keep one foot slowly in front of another

Puppy 11, why do they not want you on medication ? Are they that old fashioned that they think depression is just a bad mood? You should try to explain to them, but I am sure you have. This is a great site and we are willing to talk. Do you have a therapist? You need one. You have to give the medication time.At least 4-12 weeks or more.

God bless

My family thinks the medicine will make me worse. My husband reads all the bad stuff on the internet about the medicine. I don't want to be on medicine but God is in charge of that now. They are always screaming at me. I'm in a hard situation.

Your family won't talk to you? If you had an operation and were on pain meds would they stop talking to you? Does not make sense. How is your family normally?
