Ashamed to be on ADs?

[GetDownYouWillFall]

I've been on ADs for nearly 2 years following PND with DD.
I met a friend today who has a 10 month old and I've always been quite open with her about what I went through.
Today I was really surprised to find out my friend has also been prescribed ADs but she seemed really reluctant to talk about it, and acted like she was actually ashamed of the fact she has been prescribed them. When I was leaving she said "you won't tell anyone, will you?".
Of course I won't tell anyone, but I feel a bit baffled by this, why would someone feel ashamed, particularly talking to a friend who had also been through something similar?
Am wondering now if I shouldn't have been so open about my own experience...
Anyone have any thoughts on this?

you see i feel like maybe there are people who do have chemicals missing and medication helps to 'replace' them but myself I just feel it doesn't apply - i am me - i am faulty - i am unreliable - i am a waste of time and energy - i am unlikeable - why bother with me?

I just want to snuggle you into my norks and make you feel better

Oh blushing, I remember that feeling exactly, I told my GP I was 'broken'. But depression does very strange things to your head and causes thoughts like that.

This is a sympton of depression, it is not a judgement on you or your character. You sound like you think being unreliable is a character fault, but it's not because you clearly want to be reliable, but you're just not well enough to be 100% yet. But you will be.

And I have plenty of friends w/o depression that are 100% unreliable and who strive daily to be awkward and unlikeable! I still love them dearly! People pleasers are boring.

Whatever the cause of your depression - missing chemicals, hormones, life circustances, who cares - IT WILL PASS and LIFE WILL NOT ALWAYS FEEL LIKE THIS. I PROMISE YOU THAT.

Please keep posting here amongst people that understand and have been/are in your situation.

I feel like I am on the brink at the moment, with the black dog barking every so often. However he's buggered off before and he will again, for both of us.
