I'll adopt you.  <3

You feel horrible? Take your meds!

You're fat? Take your meds!

You feel light-headed? Take your meds!

You can't sleep? Take your damn meds, 'cause I feel horrible, I'm fat, I'm light headed, and I can't sleep either, but if I've got to take them, so do you!

 

 

(And I even smoke, so it'll smell like home.)

From a social work point of view :

 

 

Denial of mental health issues and refusal to seek treatmnet from a mental health professional tends to be common in older African Americans

 

yes. blacks are horrible at stigmatizing you when they know about your illness too. once my mom mocked my depression so i kicked her out on the street. dont have that option now but she never did it again.

 

i said "you better be out my place by the time i get home or im calling north charleston" didnt talk to her for months
