my mom started antidepressants after I went nearly no contact with her and I can't believe how much of her anger was depression. I wish I had this version of my mom when I was growing up, but she was too anti- "big pharma"

Depression is tricky cause even if you recognize there’s something wrong, your mind tries to cope with the helplessness you feel from it through denial & fear of reaching out for help cause you feel it’ll be useless. I was in denial for years until I had a psychotic episode that nearly ruined my life. If it wasn’t for my friends seeing it, I would’ve never sought treatment

Well. Enjoy it now that she’s her best self! Don’t judge her too harshly for her worst moments.
