If you are on medication, and can afford to take them. By all means, TAKE THEM.

Plus therapy, plus taking care of yourself.

Yes, and the realization that there is a problem, or a disease.

It’s not for you.

I promise.

I put family as a tag for that reason.

Word.

My wife and I went through a decade of shit because her doctor didn’t believe she had a mental health issue. When she eventually self-referred herself to a psychiatrist he took about 5 seconds to diagnose depression and p rescribe drugs . Which have worked like magic ever since.

Better living through technology. We climbed down out of the trees for a reason, people.

I don’t want anymore meds. But I don’t want to feel like this anymore. It’s been a decade FFS.

I'm not going to work tomorrow. It's time to deal with this. Enough is enough.

Mental health issues are not a weakness. They are a physical problem that needs to be medically addressed like any other disease in the body.

What do you mean by that?

They are not a disgrace or embarasment either.

But if someone is diagnosed and prescribed meds, they can NOT stop taking the meds because they feel better. (Without doctors authorization, mind you)

Also religion can not pray it away. “Complete healing” is only in the Bible as far as I know.

I know it’s not for me lol. I’m just saying that it applies to me as well because I go through the same shit o n occasion. Did you put the tag specifically so I don't say anything though....

I put tags for me. If I want to find something. That’s another way to search because Kinja is broken. You know that.

I read your posts. I’m sorry I don’t have much to respond that most here already do and I feel the save/recommendation feature is broke as well.

It’s a wordless thought. “I feel you , but I have nothing to say” ( the save/star feature)

I use that for me too if I want to look something up later, not to high five a thread.

I’m not on meds so I can’t completely understand where you are coming from. But I feel numb sometimes.

Apparently I cope differently than my siblings.

Tomorrow is “Fuck Off Friday” as I say, but hardly follow through. If you take off work to get things sorted, good luck and god speed.

Religion has a place. It gives hope.

Science also has a place, it is reason.

The brain is like an italian car's wiring. A big jumbled mess, you can't be sure what connects to what, and hopefully yours was built before lunch or it will constantly have problems.

My ex really struggled with this. Her diagnosis and pill amount kept changing, and felt like she was missing the highs of life. Her lows were certainly not as low, I noticed but it was hard for her.

Only saying because of the family tag, I’d bet whoever it is doesn’ t mean to make it worse.

Prayer brings grace and strength to deal with the trials in your life. Illness is one of those trials, and dealing with it includes seeking and using the proper treatment in order to live life.

I can understand if the Docters can’t figure a person out, and switching meds is rough on a body. But to be deceptive and not take the meds one is prescribed is a problem.

This isn’t something that goes away.
