Susan, no it's not the support you want. You want them to support your decision to take meds, and they just don't seem able to do that. There's a grain of truth in what they're saying-- the lifestyle choices like exercise and so forth can help, but as you've seen for yourself, right now you also need the chemical support from meds, and they don't accept that. Perhaps it's a shameful thing for them-- to have a family member on -gasp!- psych meds. There's still so much prejudice and stigma.
