I’ll preface this with: I love my therapist. She has been amazing so far, &amp; I especially love that she doesn’t push labels or meds on me. 

However, lately I have been feeling depressed. I have quite a lot going on that, individually, worsen my mood and outlook on life. My grandma moved into a home (I traveled to see her &amp; that’s when I noticed the depressive symptoms coming on), my busy internship &amp; class schedule ended (boredom is not good for me &amp; I feel lost without my internship), my potential roommates ghosted me after I turned down their offer to live with them, traumatic memories/feelings are being brought up in my new relationship, and my dad and I got into a fight and aren’t on speaking terms. 

To me, all of this sounds like more than enough to cause situation depression. But my therapist thinks it’s my birth control, not any of this. To me, it seems obvious these circumstances could make anyone depressed, especially someone who is very sensitive like myself. It annoys me that she said that. Who is she to say that it isn’t enough? It all depends on how these things affect me, how I cope with them, how I view them. My grandma moving into a home makes me feel like my childhood is being ripped away. Her sadness makes me feel hopeless. Couldn’t that alone make someone depressed? I even told her that I was feeling “off” when I was traveling, before I started the pill, yet she still said it’s most likely the birth control.🙁
