“Did you take your meds this morning?”
Those words take back all the progress I’ve ever made.
My feelings are invalid because they are irrational.
Apperently having depression means that any emotion is dangerous
Apperently being medicated for it means that your negative emotions are a mistake.
“Did you take your meds this morning?”
My mother slaps when I’m not laughing singing and smiling at Breakfast.
Yes, I’m just calm.
“Did you take your meds this morning?”
My father shoots when I slam my door after an intense argument
Yes, I’m just angry.
“Did you take your meds this morning?”
My friend spits when I cry over a deep broken heart
Yes, I’m just sad.
“Did you take your meds this morning?”
My brother taunts when I can’t talk to the cashier at Walmart
Yes, I’m just nervous.
Medications regulate emotions.
Medications do not erase emotion.
Emotions are valid, organic or controlled.
