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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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?

People this isn't a sad little girl that needs help. Well yea like rehab but she doesn't need comfort. She didn't say she suffers from depression. She said withdrawals. That means she can get any pills and is tripping out

You can get withdrawals from taking medicine that was prescribed to you, especially anti-depressants. There can be a myriad of reasons, and I refer to my other comment responding to your arrogance, that the girl cannot get the pills that she needs to treat her depression. I have plenty of friends who needed medications and when their insurance changed they had to try and find a new doctor that was covered. They suffered withdrawal because of the time it takes to get a new doctor, new prescription, and cut through all the medical insurance BS. Basically, you don't know what you're talking about. Just because someone says "withdrawal" doesn't mean they got the medications illegally.

And she wonders why he doesn't call (I'm guessing she's the reason you were on anti-depressants in the first place)

Quit getting mad at your mom! Think about other things that are positive! Look in the mirror and say five things about yourself that is positive. We as humans do think negatively for safety reason. 'Eg- Don't step on the ice.' These negative thoughts can become over the top as we age. Catch yourself when you can on the ones that can be positive thoughts. Good luck OP! Give it a go!

My mom does the same thing, just ignore her and find somebody who makes you feel better when she fails to
