I literally hear that all the time. "You can't be depressed, ur black" "black ppl dont go to therapy"

Bc of that i have bn really good at hiding my depression. I can hold it until im somewhere alone... cry it out and just go numb for the rest of the day. But today was diff.

I cried in front of my mom and she responded "ur not the only one going thru stuff" then my grandma piggy backed saying "yea we're strong. Black ppl dont do stuff like that"

When i came out about my depression, i was told that if i needed someone to talk to all i could do was ask. They would provide... the moments that i need a therapist i get chastised for being hurt and feeling this way!!!
