I really hated it when my parents didnt know what I planned to do with my life so they assumed I was going nowhere and talked behind my back about how stupid I was, my mother even consulted some autism society online who suggested I be on an SSRI or else traditional antidepressant and that I might benefit from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.  Sorry, but I'm not the kind of person who likes being told what to do, and while I might have gone on the anti-d's because I was depressd (though it was totally situational), I would have gone off them immediately if there was anything about them I didn't like. I don't know how they would have made me take any of the treatment; I wouldn't have ended up getting it anyway so HA! Anyway, it wasn't really pushed on me; my parents believed I would joim the military and said that I should be in it right away, and psych patients aren't allowed in the military officially. There were other instances too, like when they went through my sh**, and I really didn't appreciate that. I never trusted them to stay out of it; I wasn't complacent, just very preoccupied.

My ex thought she was going to save me by calling me out on my hand tics and when I got into a flow. The relationship didn't last long as, while I appreciated the aim, I needed her to accept me for how I was (am).
As for your post, I've been on an SSRI for almost two years now. At first it was to treat depression, but then the doc/my mother decided to keep it up for moths afterward to help with the anxiety caused by the AS. I resent the fact that I'm pretty much dependent on it, but I haven't noticed any huge negative effects so I can't say much against it. My relationship with my parents has been pretty trusting, so I haven't had the spying issues, but then again it does help being 500 miles away during the school year. |

These people thought they were protecting me from myself but they were really hindering me. 
As for the SSRI, I'm on one for depression and social anxiety... by then I was so depressed I actually needed it!  Maybe I should have been on it before to prevent the horrilbe depression that I got.

That's what it felt like for me: like the depression that let to me going on the SSRI was caused by not just a major external trigger (as it appeared) but also from having had to repress the social anxiety for so long. The aforementioned incident was merely a catalyst.
Feelgood: Like most things it's a matter of finding a happy medium. On one hand yes, it's good to have people looking out for you. The problem is that these people often don't fully have a grasp of how we see things and thus aren't necessarily in a position to define what behaviors/pursuits are good versus bad. |

Exactly how I felt. I hsd many many years of social anxiety and humiliations, which lead to more social anxiety which led to more humiliations... and then realizing (or thinking I was realizing) that this big dream of mine was unrealistic was the catalyst, the trigger.
