 I feel like my "illness" is a normal response to life stressors and traumatic events. Is this a normal thought to have or does this indicate that my mental state is severely worsening and I'm becoming delusional that I don't even recognize it? I don't know if I succeeded at explaining what I'm feeling, hope someone relates cause this is kinda freaking me out. I'm also refusing to take antidepressants because (besides the side effects) I don't think my depression and anxiety are severe enough for meds and that it's situational, but then I'm a failure at socializing, barely have friends, I hate how I look, I don't have a proper job, I have dreams that are so beyond me and I have a very dysfunctional family, so I am in fact delusional, is this victim mentality? How do I stop thinking this way, please?
