Today, after struggling to get something out of my eye, I kept my eye open long so it would start to water. My mother in law noticed and said, "Aww, do you need a therapist again?" She knows full well I struggle with chronic depression. FML

Today, I woke up with my eye swollen half shut. To spare the embarrassment, I asked my mom if I could stay home from school. She said no, but also attempted to make me feel better by saying that with my eye, my acne was unnoticeable. FML

Today, I woke up with pink eye. My mom tried to help by putting drops in. It started burning like hell; she didn't understand why. It turns out she was putting ear drops in my eye. FML

Today, I told my mom that I struggle with depression. She then told me that she thinks that I always seem to suck the life out of a room. FML

Today, and for the past year, I've been struggling with depression because of family life. I've been talking to my mom for the past weeks, telling her things that happen when she isn't home as a way to build trust. I finally told her I have depression and have had had it for a long time. She laughed. FML

Letting yourself go

Today, I told my mom I wanted to see a doctor, because I feel like I’m slipping into depression. I told her I was so sad, I didn’t shower for 4 days. Her response? “I don’t believe that. You’ve always had great hygiene!” Duh, I’m not myself lately! Thanks for noticing. FML

Today, after opening up to my husband about my mental struggles after a difficult birth, I shed a few tears. He left me there to go take a nap. FML

Today, I told my mother-in-law that I was going through postpartum depression and was put on a antidepressant to help. Her response was, "Great, now we have a pill head in the family." FML

Today, I've been seeing a therapist after more than 20 years of struggles. I think I saw him cry during our sessions a few times. I guess that my inability to live my life at the fullest was hard earned. FML

Today, my wife and I received confirmation that she has postpartum depression. When sharing this with the family, my mother exclaimed "I told you she was a psycho!" Now my wife is crying louder and more often than our newborn. Thanks, mom. FML

Well that's ******* rude. Even if you were upset the first thought that comes to mind is not "Do you need a therapist again?" I mean that's so demeaning.

She is just a witch. Take what she says with a grain of salt. Or if she really is nice, she might be showing her concern, but for some reason, I doubt it.

Slap her in the face and when she starts shouting at you ask if she needs some medication for her anger issues

I'm sorry, no. Smack her in the face. I don't usually condone it, but smack her the **** in the face.

That's when you say: "Aaawww. You need to go potty again? Cuz you got SHIT coming out of your mouth!" Ignore her OP. She sounds like a bombastic moron.

A knife to the chest can solve any problems. Including her.

I hate to break it to you. But. Your mother in law is a bitch.

I know she's technically family and all...but I suggest slapping her. There is never a reason to be condescending to someone when they're upset, and her being so because she assumed you were is even more obnoxious.
