[stef000]

I am quite angry about what happened today.....
a man got to talking about how antidepressants don't help anyone and then i piped in and said that it helped me....
and he said well you know what those chemicals in antidepressants are the same if you exercise.....so basically he called me lazy and fat....:cussing:
i couldn't believe it....
and this was in the line at the pharmacy....
i could not believe it....
i am still mad over this.....
thats all i really have to say about it....just needed to get it out ya know??
i fight chronic pain and depression, and chronic pain from depression, and depression from chronic pain....i fight all of those everyday and to hear someone in line at a pharmacy basically call me lazy and fat.....
i am still quite angry....:cussing:
i got on antidepressants when i was in a very dark place where it was either do something bad or try antidepressants and they have brought a lot of my life back and i just cannot believe it.....:bonk:
i don't know.....i fight it everyday and have someone say that to me????
well i just needed to vent a bit even though i could talk about it all day but i just cannot believe these people out there ya know???
well i just needed that outta my head....
i just cannot believe some people.....
thanks for letting me vent....

Sorry this happened.. Some people can be very ignorant!! (((hugs)))

Sounds like you met a self-righteous idiot. Sorry it happened. Try not to let it get to you, you know what he said isn't true & we all know it too...

[ICNDonna]

There are some idiots in this world! That guy isn't worth the effort it takes to stay angry --- just be glad you don't have to live with him!

I'm sorry someone said something so hurtful.

Warm hugs,
Donna

IMO you are being way too kind when you call this man "ignorant." He's hostile & nasty and he used you as target practice. I'm sorry you had the bad luck to stand in the same line as this clod & hope you have already put his ugly attack into perspective. Take care....

Don't waste your time or energy over this incident. We will always have these kinds of people around us. At least you don't have to live with this "man". If he is married with children, I feel sorry for them. If he isn't, then at least we understand why that is the case.

(((Hugs))) of support coming your way. :):):)

Was he short, ugly, big nose and his name was Tom Cruise, lol!

Seriously though hun, I am so sorry. I know it is hard not to get angry! I would be too. Why would this guy choose a pharmacy of all places so say something like that? Weird.

It is funny though b/c I often find super critical, judgemental people have SO many of their own "issues" and are often so insercure. He is probably dealing with something himself and took it out that way. Counterproductive.

Hang in there and sending big hugs,
Sarah

I'm sorry you feel angry about this, but it may help to know that what people say is a reflection of them, not of you.

There really are people out there who do not know what it is like to feel depressed or anxious or angry from chronic pain. Until they deal with it, I don't think they can understand, and there will always be people who are downright judgmental....I know because I can be one of those ** from time to time myself. And it is usually after I've spoken that I realize I may have hurt someone's feelings.

Isn't it good to come here and know that those of us who suffer along with you know what it is like, too?

[Bessie]

Sorry you had to deal with such a mean person. Maybe he is a bitter person and wants to make everyone else miserable.
Hang in there.

i know i can't let that kind of person get to me but its hard since i would always go to my dad for comfort and such and i can't since his health is failing and he can't take any stress so that is gone from me...
i have you guys (thank you all and especially jill for making this forum) and i have other internet friends, and cats and a boyfriend but dad always said something to help me through ya know??
now i don't have that....
so it was sorta reality slamming me and its a sore spot....so yeah....
thats why i was :cussing: yesterday....
thank you all for helping me out
i hope all are ok today
take great care
