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.

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.
