I've been where you're sitting...care to chat?

if they got upset, that's an indication they also have feelings. Did you validate their feelings, or did you invalidate their feelings?

If they went through the same thing as you and have come out with a different conclusion, maybe they are right. or maybe they are wrong; but you do need to at least consider the possibility. It is very easy to see the world from your own perspective all the time, but the mark of humanity to consider it from someone else's now and again.

I tried telling them a small thing about why I am the way that I am. I meant that they went through the whole thing of having anxiety and depression so I thought they would understand where I'm coming from and what I'm going through

Sorry you are feeling so badly. Maybe the person you thought you could trust hasn't worked through their depression and anxiety. They were unable to give you the support when you needed it most. They weren't the friend you thought you had. Have you considered talking with a therapist? At least with a therapist you will know that you are not going to be judged. They are there to listen to you and offer advise. It may be the best thing you can do for yourself.

Sometimes people don't. They have come down a different path to get through it. She may have ideas; she may actually have answers if you can find a way to access them.

Remember you're two people in two bodies, trying to communicate via a series of grunts. Lots gets lost between her mind and your ear. Lots gets lost between your mind and her ear. Until we can communicate telepathically there will always be this erosion of meaning via talk.

The person happens to be my mother and I don't think she's completely gotten through it but I think because medication didn't work for her that she thinks it won't work for me either. I've talked to one before but it was kinda on and off and in the end wasn't helping me.

I know a lot gets misunderstood like that but it's so hard not having anyone to talk to.

you need, if you are going to take meds, to take them every day. Otherwise they're worse than useless. Setting your phone is good. If you're on the pill, setting your phone to take your pills is a VERY good idea.

:D

Do you want to talk about what's bothering you? I'm a mother and I've been through it, with meds, and without meds. My mum would never have been able to help me because she was mostly in denial about her own self, and yet I think she is someone who could have very well done with medication herself.

Do you maybe have a guidance counsellor at school? They're used to this kind of thing and there's nothing you can tell them that will shock or upset them or make them cross with you, even if you yourself have done something bad. They are there to be on your side and help no matter what.
