Honestly I feel like more of a community talking on here to people that listen, understand the issues we all are going through because you can empathize with them and talk about sometimes abstract concepts such as why you are unhappy without judgement and not tip toe about it feeling that way. They then don't understand why your not happy.
Then we have the (especially holidays/family time of year) where we veer into the you need to go to church and god can help you/get some sunshine, think happy, thoughts and the classic chemical imbalance group, just take the magic one ant-depressant and you'll be happier than ever, It's not a small pox vaccine or penicillin where it works for 99% of people and just fixes you overnight, when anti depressant are half the time ineffective, have horrible side effects, it's like throwing darts at a board and just keep guessing until you find one that might work but is slow and it's not going to improve you from a 1 to 9 in helping it's most time a for many 1 to a 5 approximately, enough to get out of bed.
Not everyone's case even find a medication that works, some do and are happy for them, but for many 20 treatments don't work, you are beaten down by the process of option 21 and tapering and withdrawal to try another to be told are told 5 years later that they don''t know and say t's treatment resistant.
So you don't have energy to explain the whole story and th so you just agree to think more positive or start to explanation thethat times are different.
