So… British Empire… Colonialism… Opium wars…

As a result: Many Asian countries have strict anti-drug laws and also anti-drug culture.

That sentiment is also carried to medications.

So my parents are from one of these countries that was under british colonialism

Fast forward to modern day:

And I’m dealing with depression.

And I want antidepressants.

But my parents treat antidepressants as like a drug addiction.

So um…

British Colonialism is making me look like a brain damaged drug addict for seeking relief by trying to get antidepressant medication.

Thanks a lot, Queen Victoria, what a bitch lol.

I hate history.

What are some things that happened in the past that still affects you?
