No. You’re not using it as a crutch. If you have to ask, you’re not. Your mom unfortunately just doesn’t grasp what depression truly is. I’m so sorry you’re going through this— seek medical help for your dosage ASAP. This is definitely a depression issue. 💕

I get the felling 100%. It happened to me when I had my first job. I was sad and no one seemed to wanna talk or anything. Personally for me, what I did was to go out and treat myself to window shopping and remind myself I am getting money and it's under my control. Windows hopping helped cuz I can go out and see so many things I've never sceen before with a fresh set of eyes and remembering I'm earning money means my efforts at helping my Co workers are valued even if they are to busy to say it. I know its hard and it feels super sad cuz you may not feel like you fit in or hate the job but know you are still your own person no matter what.

My mom is pretty much the sane way. She doesn't think I have depression and doesn't think that I need my therapist. I don't know what is the deal with everyone's mom being like this!(not everyone just most)
