No support network at all
When I told my mother of my depression, she told me that I was choosing to be this way. That hurts. Now I know not to bother her with any of it. So what now?

Its not a choice.
Your feelings matter.
They are valid .
You are heard here.
You'll be supported here 💜💕
It's good you are seeking a support network!! 💖💖

depression is not a choice, but trying to get help is. i hope u have other forms of support whether it be from a friend or professional ♥️
@generousKitten6660
Your mother doesnt understand what is depression, its simple as that. It cannot be explained in words to everyone, as for you it is best you take up help from a counsellor or a therapists.
Take care and keep a smile

That must have been really hard opening up about your depression and then feeling so dismissed by your mom. I can understand how painful it was to hear her say you choose to feel this way. No wonder you feel like you can’t go to her for support. 😞 Depression is definitely not a choice. I am so sorry that you have to deal with this by yourself. 🫶
@generousKitten6660 Sorry to hear this. Whatever you're feeling right now is valid. We're here to support you. 💌

I am so sorry, Kitten. You do not deserve to be invalidated in this way, and I am here to remind you that you are strong for fighting through your depression on a path to a more positive life, despite the haters. I am always here for you, and if you need a listening ear to confide in, do not hesitate to DM me on here.
@generousKitten6660 Hi!
I know it's hard when we reach out for help and instead of receiving help, we are shunned. I am proud of you for reaching out for help. We are here to support you. You can connect with listeners on 7 cups (I am a listener too).
Only people who go through depression know how it feels. I remember my wife telling me to snap out of it.
Talking to people or having someone to listen can really help. You will lotsa people here to help you on that.
You are not alone!!
I understand your feelings. And it's valid. I feel the same with my fam, sometimes it's pointless to talked to them about my feelings, because they always make it about them. But you know what.. That's why i am here☺ and you are here also, it's mean looking for help and support even though we never met with these nice people.
