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 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.
