Meds are ok!

our society often stigmatizes people who use medication to help them cope with their mental illnesses. this is absolutely absurd as medication for mental illness saves lives, just as any other medication for one’s physical illness does. those of us who choose to start medication are often called weak, but the truth is that we are strong for choosing to get better and to fight the stigma around medication.

- I take THREE mood stabilizers ( one doubles for depression)

- 4 different anxiety meds ( two as needed)

- I’ll be be going back on my med for ADHD

- I take 4 vitamins daily also that help a lot

Meds aren’t a fix all BUT it helps so much!! It is trial and error and can be frustrating but once you find the right ones its A whole new outlook!!!
