Medication and the stigmatism behind it


I just recently started taking medication and I don’t know if its just my family but HOLY STIGMATIZATION!!! Everytime we’re at a family gathering someone has to mention it in a negative light and its INFURIATING!!! I understand concern as medication can be scary at first, I was really scared when I started taking it, but oml it gets to a point.

If they react this way towards my bipolar meds I worry how they'll react when I start adhd medication :((( Any advice???

Idk how old you are, but I would shut that down immediately. "Please stop talking about my personal health. I feel uncomfortable when you bring this up in such a public setting."

Hmmmmm, tough one. You could try flushing or destroying all the meds in front of them all. Then crash out and act insane then 60 seconds later be lovey dovey then go back to crashing out. Then be like "Oh would you look at that I missed a pill! Oh well, one for the road!" and you swallow it in front of them then act totally normal/calm lol



They already know how bad i get without them just hating to hate fr 💔💔💔
