I have been on and off my meds the past year and I can’t help but think of the reasons I feel depressed. There are many other reasons, but I’ll just give a quick recent example. I am a gay guy in college living at home and my parents are accepting now, but coming out was insanely hard and they were not accepting at first. They still struggle with it. So last night there was this cute guy at the restaurant I picked up some takeout from. Our interaction felt a lil awkward and honestly like there was gay tension lol. If this happened to my sister, she would have come home to talk freely about it and express herself. However, I can’t imagine something more uncomfortable than to just come out and say something like that to my parents. Not to be dramatic, but it’s fucking soul crushing. The fact that I can’t have this normal kind of expression in my home. This is just like many other times and I can’t help feel like this contributes a lot to my depression. If I moved out, I feel like it would be amazing for me. However, I also cannot afford that right now with school. I’m hoping someone has some tough love advice to give me here, cause basically it’s me constantly going back and forth between needing my meds. Sometimes depression is circumstantial, and I would hate to just cover it with meds when something might need to be changed…
