I’ve been treated for anxiety and depression going on 5 years now. Started with therapy and made the jump as I’m sure many of us have to medications, now I’ve lived with this person for 2 years, and prior to that we lived in the same buildings and were very close. The other day we somehow got on the topic of drugs (probably bc i was finally prescribed something for my ADHD) and he goes “wait dude you have like a serious mental illness” and part of me said well yeah but the other part was actually no I’m just different than you but not any less of a person, friend, or roommate because of it. Idk maybe I’m overthinking it but the negative tone and connotation he used with “mental illness” really bothered me. Anyone else feel like you dont want to share your issues with others because of how they’ll respond, even though talking about how we’re feeling is something we have to do? Idk share your thoughts and feelings been a little off lately would love to chat and hear what y’all have to say
