My mom tells me if I take medications for depression, I'm gonna end up relying on it even in old age... I mean I guess the alternative is being unmedicated and dying young lmao...

Original wording (Cantonese): "你一食葯就会食到老嘅啦“ (Once you start, you will need to continue till you get old (aka: till your death)) Oh okay mom… “唔食藥而家死咗就唔使到老囉” (If I don’t get medicated, I die now and no need to get old) (didn’t actually say it, but really want to) This culture is gonna kill me 😭

Don’t listen to non-medical professionals about medical things. It is really that simple.

Follow up question: How do I get medications without them knowing?

See, that’s the issue.

You may be able to find a psychiatrist that does virtual appointments. They can prescribe your medication and then its just up to you to go pick them up. I’ve dealt with severe anxiety and depression for more than a decade. This is pretty much how I’ve gotten my meds since Covid.

If you’re on your parents’ insurance they’d be able to see what you use it for, but otherwise your medical information is confidential and they shouldn’t be able to see anything. And if you are on your parents’ insurance, you could pay out of pocket to avoid them seeing it on the explanation of benefits.

You might be able to buy some gray market buproprion or something. Like, honestly I’d recommend going and getting meds from a doctor and lying to your parents about the situation instead of that. But like, it’s your body dude, you can just buy prescription medication from Vanuatu if it isn’t a controlled substance, it’s not just hormones and birth control. Still a really bad idea, go to the doctor and claim they gave you prescription vitamin D or something.
