nobody knows i'm on antidepressants. i feel that if i keep it a secret, it won't be as real. i don't crave acceptance or pity from people, and i don't want to be labeled as i know i would be if people knew. i don't care to talk about why i'm depressed, i don't care to share that i have a problem. i just want to be able to get out of bed in the morning.
That's nobody's business but yours to begin with. I mean i might let ONE person know just in case anything ever happens health wise, like you dont wanna be cocktailin' medications. But i'd make sure it was someone who would like..NEVER tell anyone else, as it's your personal business. And not for nothin but at least you ARE taking them.
do you know how many other people are just like you? SO MANY people are on anti-depressants; you'd be surprised. it's absolutely nothing to be ashamed of. i don't see why you're so afraid of telling people. would you be ashamed of being on insulin for diabetes? you're treating a medical issue. simple as that. chin up. you're just as normal as anyone else. i hope that you get to a point where you don't care what people think, though it's tough. do what you need to do.
Antidepressants are nothing to be ashamed about. I think you will be pleasantly surprised to find that there is very little stigma attached to them anymore. I know quite a few people taking them.

And if they ask why you are on anti-depressants, that's all you need to say [:

if people are labeling you for being on antidepressants, then those people are jerks. if it's what you need to get through the day and feel better, there is NOTHING wrong with that.
Well, there's no reason for anyone to know what meds you're on anyway. People don't normally go round discussing their meds. The world would be a boring place if they did!
