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.
