> It's really difficult to be around people who genuinely have no idea what I'm talking about when I say medication has helped me. If you've experienced this with your friends and loved ones how do you handle it?
I coped with it by not talking about being on meds. Unless, they talked about it first.
I just didn't need or want them putting their shame inducing baggage on top of mine. I felt bad enough as it was.
For me, it was simpler to keep my med use to myself.
