Great but not great

[HJam5880]

The great thing is: I got my unofficial grades back for school today, all A's and B's. This was great considering how much I had struggled with my anxiety and depression this semester.

The not so great thing is: I told my grandmother that I'm on anxiety medicine; I didn't specify what but for those who don't know, I'm on Buspirone. I didn't say anything about the Sertiline(Zoloft). She wasn't so accepting about the anxiety medicine, so I didn't feel the need or want to say anything about the Zoloft. I've only been taking them since Friday.

Congratulations 💐

Honey just because she’s your grandma doesn’t mean you share your health stuff with her. I haven’t told my grown kids my bladder fell and now I need a female operation. Anxiety is physical. It’s faulty brain chemicals. It’s like your pancreas messing up with insulin.

You’re okay and it’s your business. I’ll bet there’s a lot about her body she hasn’t shared with you.

Take care of you.

Well I wasn't going to say anything about it but I thought that she would take it better. Plus it just kind of came up in a conversation. I share a lot with her but I don't share a lot about my mental health with anyone.

You will find a lot of people won't agree with what you are doing. It's something we have to deal with having this illness.

It's no ones business what you are doing.

Congratulations on your grades

I share everything with everybody besides my credit card number but I dont even have a credit card because I got denied credit and started to argue with the loan officer because after they pulled up my credit report they didnt even want to serve me coffe anymore, so I was like you know what..can i see your manager and she was like I am the manager and I was like well thank you for your time and have a great day....

Probably some of her reluctance to accept anxiety medication as a useful tool is based on her generation. Don’t let that deter you though. It’s better to seek help and be happy than worry about what others think and be unhappy. Because deep down she wouldn’t want you to be unhappy and suffering. I think you’re very brave for asking for help! Congrats on your grades!
