That's like my mom telling me "What are you depressed for? You have a great life, you have no reason to be sad!"
That's what fucking depression is you dumb bitch.
Only I had every reason to be depressed. Lonely, ADHD, gay kid in rural Texas, in a Christian household that doesn't believe in therapy or psychiatric medication.
Not gay but raised in Texas by same kind of parents. I hope you gotten out. My youngest son is not only ADHD but also gay, but unlike his grandparents I am supportive and understanding.
But always looking to do better why I join this sub.
Hope you are better now. That's a uniquely cruel combination of ignorance in one place.
What an adept description of her. Uniquely cruel.
