Was my mom wrong?

Question

When i was 18, I took 8 antidepressants hoping it would end my life. Of course it didn't but I told my mom out of guilt. I called her at work , told her, she drove him, got
Out of her car, and slapped me across my face like a bitch. Then dropped my off at a mental ward. Was she wrong?

*im older now & I have no mental health problems. I realized my problems were w my parents. I don't need antidepressants and never did. My mom shoved them down my throat to fix me she said. Was she wrong for
This?

Answer

Since we don't have the whole story or your mothers view, people shouldn't be saying she was wrong or not. You aren't the first person to blame their parents for their problems.

Answer

It sounds to me like she was very scared for you and desperate and did what she thought was best. It can't have been easy for her watching her child go through that. It comes across as she did it out of love, I don't think she was wrong. I'd have done the same

Answer

It's hard to say! I would say yes because you needed help but than again that's what she did.

Answer

She shouldn't have but you, though taking you to get help was a good thing to do

Answer

my mom was like this when she found out I was cutting myself at the age of 17. she was angry instead of trying to understand. I don't blame her now at the age of 21, some people will never know what it feels like to be suicidal or depressed. she threatened many times to send me off if I didn't stop, that only made my self harming worse. some parents don't know how to deal with something like that, so we can only forgive them for doing what they believe is best or easiest. but that doesn't make it right by any means.

Answer

She did the right thing by getting you help but she didn't have to hit you. I know she was hurt and lashing out though. You should be thanking her.

Answer

It's hard to say. Sometimes environmental factors really to affect people. Changing the way you live can really change your life. Imo there are some parents out there who just shove medications down their children's throats to make their lives (the parents lives) better. They don't realize what the child is going through. Sometimes people actually do need antidepressants. Maybe you needed them then, maybe you didn't. I'm sorry you had to go through that. I'm glad your life is better. I've seen it happen. My friend was very depressed and suicidal. She was raped by her ex, saw him on campus all the time and it ruined her life. She hated her existence. She is happier now. She has a great fiancé and a child on the way. Lives can change for the better.
