Depression Support Group
Depression is a real and debilitating condition that is often misunderstood by family and friends. Its meaning can range from a prolonged period of sadness to an actual mental illness with specific symptoms. Find and share experiences with others who are going through the same struggles.
I just got off of my meds and my mom keeps threatening to put me back on them every time I disagree with her she tells me that she hates me almost every week and I'm so sick of it bc i have been trying to get better but every time i make a step forward she makes me feel awful about myself by calling me a slut or screaming at me and she just told me that she wished i was more like my brother because he never disagrees with her and i don't want to go back on my meds bc i feel like a zombie but my mom just said that if i disagree with her one more time that she is going to put me back on them and I'm so scared bc i can't go back on my meds bc i want to be able to have feelings and think for myself is that even legal to threaten meds like that
If there haven't been changes for a long period of time and are living with her, start considering alternative housing options like independent living facilities or even staying at a trusted friend's place. If you aren't living with her, avoid her as much as you want to. You don't need that energy.
Second, you have a right to say you don't want to be medicated. There are circumstances in which a court order can be issued if you are a danger to yourself and others thus having to take meds in a controlled environment. Although I haven't be sedated like that I do know what it looks like and I can understand your perspective. Other options include looking for another medication that isn't a sedative and/or types of therapies to combine and expand your coping skills.
