I've gotten used to the medicine and it's definitely in my system now. I hate to say this but it's nice in a way to be stable for once. I still have the headaches and it usually goes away after an hour or two. I wonder if this is what persons without depression feels like? Less of ups and downs?
I talked to my mom tonight, and discovered that my mom is still has her ups and downs. I expressed how I felt about her support when I was going through the same thing, I felt like she didn't want to talk and avoided the topic. However I understood why she felt uncomfortable about this as I am her last child and the baby of the family. I can see how it became difficult for her to hear the fact that I am depressed too. I reminded her that I am twenty-six and no longer a child, we should be able to be open and tell each other things.
keep in mind that your mom is from a different generation than you. when i was going through my own junk a few years ago, my parents didn't really understand and didn't say much. that was a frustrating time. they're much better now...
ReplyDeleteyour mom will come around.... perhaps it's more than just you being her baby... if there's one thing i learned about exposing my mom on such topics (that we freely talk about and her generation doesn't say a word), is to "plant seeds gradually" if you catch my drift. Even though your parents were hippies (if i remember right), they're still from a different generation. ;) zozo
