Hi and welcome to babble,
I've been in therapy and on meds for two years. I never thought I had mental health issues, I guess I thought everybody was constantly depressed.
I am doing better, depression seems to be in remission and I trust my therapist more. So I would say there is hope, though for me progress is slow. But there is progress which is a positive.
My husband and one friend know about my mental health problems. I don't feel comfortable telling anyone else, because I don't think they'll understand it. I don't need to be stared at or argued with: they're nothing wrong with you, etc.
Are you afraid your mother won't be supportive? I can understand that fear, that's why my family doesn't know. Maybe some other posters can offer some expertise.
I want you to know that you are not alone with your questions and I hope I answered some of them.
Babble is a fantastic place, full of people who understand and want to help. Again welcome.
