Today, I told my mom that I was taking antidepressants because I hate myself. She said "That's not surprising. You hate everybody. And, you're kind of a bitch." FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I told my mom that I struggle with depression. She then told me that she thinks that I always seem to suck the life out of a room. FML
Today, I told my mom I loved her and she asked if I was going to kill myself. FML
Today, my mom told me I'm the reason she's going to kill herself one day. FML
Today, I asked my mom why nobody likes me. She reeled off about a dozen reasons. FML
Today, my mom tried to give me a pep talk to boost my self confidence. Somehow, it ended up turning into a conversation about how much of a loser I am and how I have no friends. FML
Today, I approached my mother for comfort, because I've been feeling depressed and unloved by anyone lately. She replied, “Honestly, I stopped loving you back when you were a toddler.” FML
Today, going to my psychiatrist's appointment for my PTSD and depression, my mother yelled about how useless I am and how I torture her existence with my "abnormalities." She told the doctor how much I've improved and become such a delight at home for her and our family. FML
Today, my mom said that if I wasn't her daughter, she probably wouldn't even like me. FML
Today, my mom found out that I've been having counselling behind her back for the past 4 years. I broke down in tears explaining everything. Her response was, "So you go and bitch about me behind my back?!" And she wonders why I'm depressed. FML
Today, my mother told me to 'quit having a pity party'. I was just diagnosed with depression. I've lost my boyfriend, my job, my academic standing, and I just got rejected from every graduate school I applied for. And my mother thinks I'm a cry baby. Great. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Your mom's a bitch, but maybe the apple didn't fall far from the tree. Donno. In response to #10, I put YDI for a lot of these, not cause they deserve it, but because they aren't good reasons to say "FML." Not the case for this one, but just a thought.

You are taking antidepressants and your mom calls you a bitch.... Maybe you are really a bitch, who knows. Your mom is a bitch for sure though.

Told my mum something similar and she just gave me the icy silence treatment then 'Never. Say. That. To. Me. Again.' It hurt and I was alone but retrospectively: so, what? She had issues so that she couldn't deal with it herself. Does that make her a bitch, or just not perfect? I know she loves me anyway. Parents generally try to approach the problem the way that's best and from their own frame of working. I think it's actually sometimes more hurtful for people if they morph into a perfect therapist who's treating you like glass and that you can't be burdened with anything. You stop feeling like a person. Them's the breaks and it's in the way you look at what happened. People are going to say crueler things than that if you confess on the Internet too. You've got to work on quitting seeing darkness everywhere, instead of expecting everyone else to treat you like a fragile piece of glass.

I was apparently very mean to people when I was depressed for a few months. I think it's just part of being depressed, being seen as hostile. People may interpret your depressed behavior in many ways. However, I wasn't told about this in a way nearly as mean as that, but more like, "now we can actually be around you". I am sorry. I hope my reply can help a bit. I was depressed for a really long time. I tried a lot of things. I don't know whether "changing the way you think" is really possible after being depressed for long. To me, it felt like my emotions changed my way of thinking more than my way of thinking changed my emotions. However, there were some things I could influence, symptoms of depression that on their own often cause bad feeling, such as bad eating, or lack of physical activity, or not enough exposure to the sun (see "Seasonal Affective Disorder"). I started forcing myself to eat at least 1000-1400 calories a day (I was eating less sometimes, and had a BMI of 17. sometimes people over-eat instead of under-eat, though), and started doing exercise, just a few minutes of push ups every day. I now feel a lot better, and I kept on doing exercise frequently. Even though I slipped back into feeling depressed a lot of times, it is becoming far less common. That can definitely happen. People do get out of this. I wish you good luck with getting better, and perhaps when you are less depressed, your environment, like mine, will start becoming less hostile as well.

I swear it should be a law that you have to get a special license to breed. Some people aren't fit to become parents. If your child is telling you that they are depressed, hate theirself and are getting help for it by taking medication, you should support them, not discourage them and make them feel worse by telling them they are a bitch.

#41: They're generally doing a better job with the self-flallegation at that stage than anyone else can supply. It's very easy to generalise about this, when sometimes getting across the message to someone in a low self-esteem state, self-injuring way who often blame themselves for everything: 'actually, I'm fine. You never hurt me. The only way you're hurting me is by being in pain yourself'.

#48, medfly: Yep, sunlight, exercise, food and I've developed a thought process where I'm going 'what I'm thinking right now isn't me, I'm having a fit of low mood, it will pass and I'm not going to seriously consider anything I'm thinking about'. What works for me ain't might what work for other people though.
