Off My Chest
RULES:
I am looking for mods!
1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.
2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)
3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.
4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.
5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.
6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.

Don't listen to non-medical people about medical things. It is really that simple. Listen to experts or trained people.
Follow up question: How do I get medications without them knowing?
See, that's the issue.
If you're on your parents' insurance they'd be able to see what you use it for, but otherwise your medical information is confidential and they shouldn't be able to see anything. And if you are on your parents' insurance, you could pay out of pocket to avoid them seeing it on the explanation of benefits.
You might be able to buy some gray market buproprion or something. Like, honestly I'd recommend going and getting meds from a doctor and lying to your parents about the situation instead of that. But like, it's your body dude, you can just buy prescription medication from Vanuatu if it isn't a controlled substance, it's not just hormones and birth control. Still a really bad idea, go to the doctor and claim they gave you prescription vitamin D or something.
