Today, I spent five hours sobbing in my room due to antidepressant withdrawal. My mother refused to come and talk to me, because I'm "a terrible, hateful child who only cares about herself." Last week, I spent two hours comforting her because my brother hadn't called in a week. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I went to my boyfriend's house to break down and cry because his mother hates me for unknown reasons. I walked in, gave him a long hug, and started sobbing. I then saw his mother. She was visiting him to complain about how terrible a person I am. FML
Today, I called my mother to say hi. She spent a whole hour and a half complaining about how I never call her, bawling and calling me "a waste of human flesh." I call her at least once a week. FML
Today, I realized how self-absorbed my mother is when she came to visit, and was so upset at my sibling over a non-issue that she didn't notice I was high so I wouldn't have to remember anything she said. I was hoping for a healthier relationship with my family. FML
Today, I realized that no matter what kind of mental break, even just needing someone to vent to about night terrors and fears, my husband and mom will threaten to call a 72h psych hold on me if I so much as cry or be emotional at all. Then they'll forget me for two weeks and say "it's not a big deal." It makes someone want to die. FML
Today, I finally convinced my mum to take me to a psychologist. As soon as he sat me down and asked me how I was doing, my mum burst into tears and went on a rant about how her life is terrible and she regrets everything. I was asked to sit in the waiting room. She used up my whole hour. FML
Today, I tried for 45 minutes to convince my psychiatrist to take me off my antidepressant. When he finally agreed to do so, I broke down into tears and sobbed uncontrollably for 10 minutes. Hello, increased prescription. 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, I was feeling depressed. I overheard my mom crying on the phone. She said, “If my daughter kills herself, who’s going to do the dishes?” FML
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
Today, my mom chewed me out, because my brother has been complaining to her that I don't talk to him anymore since moving out. We've never talked much, even when we were sharing a place! FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

12- even when you gradually come off anti depressants there are withdrawal effects, like nausea, headaches, insomnia and uncontrollable emotions because of the nature of the drug.

Be careful, OP. I didn't have time to see a doctor to get a refill on one of mine and I ended up having a withdrawal seizure. It can be a really serious thing.

Sometimes people need to come off them urgently due to adverse effects.

Stop being depressed, life is short.

Being depressed isn't exactly OP's fault when her mother speaks to her like that. Depression isn't something you can control.

Yeah.. Because 'not being depressed' is just so easy. C'mon now! You couldn't think of anything better to say?

Yeah, OP! Tell your brain to stop having the wrong hormone balance and stop being depressed! In all seriousness now, I'm really sorry to hear that OP. I hope you get your medication again soon and that your mom sees what kind of bitch she is. I can understand why you're depressed if she's like that.

Stop being a jerk! Life is short! Too short to have ppl constantly say stop being down or crying.

Your mom is a 'terrible, hateful woman who only cares about herself' and she made one of her children feel bad for no reason. No wonder her son won't call her....

No wonder OP is depressed. That witch can't be doing her much good.

And how old are you?

How the hell does her age make a difference? Teens can have depression as can adults, and it's extremely prevalent among the elderly.

I've been depressed since I was 11. Antidepressants since I was 15. Age is irrelevant.

Depression hurts. Symbalta can help.

I have had bad experiences with Cymbalta. I'm more of a Zoloft guy myself.

Sounds like you need something different. Just because you had adverse reactions doesn't mean everyone will. As it just so happens, I take Cymbalta and I don't have any problems with it.
