I Am On Medication

[image deleted]
I never thought I would be on psych meds for a long time. :( I am now dependent on them, time for my night meds.

@SW-User For the most part I agree, I do think we rely too much on a lot of medications, but I think with mental health things are a lot more complicated.

Just like people are dependent on meds for other medical conditions. Nothing wrong with that when they can save your life.

@JaneCas The stigma against mental illness is very unfortunate. Regardless, there’s no need to tell anyone. And feel good about yourself for getting help. Countless people never do and suffer in silence.

Long term meds are nothing to worry, or be embarrassed about. They are used to fix a chemical imbalance in the brain. You won't see people with heart, or other health issues, worry about such things.
I will be on meds for the rest of my life. It is what it is.
There will be someone somewhere who will love you for who you are. Don't change, or act, to fit in. Be you, and the right people will be drawn to you.

I am an open book. Lots of people take psych meds and I am like, "right now the citalopram seems to be working" and I am due to up my dose in a few days. This works especially well because it will be giving me a medication bump right before my period.

@Quizzical It does not matter they are both for mental health, ppl do not tend to say what meds they are on when and if they tell someone but simply say " I am on meds" which ppl in my experience usually associate with mental health, I know because I work in the mental health field.

@JaneCas i understand that.
Past shit can run your life.
Your mind doesn’t simply drop it. A therapist that knows and cares is the only way to get through that and very tough to find!

@JaneCas It is so strange with them...professions emotional distance which can make them seem like they don’t care and hence less opening up to them.

What happens when you skip one or two, or a few?

@PhillyPhill If I skip one or two days theres no real difference but if I skip a week than I notice a difference which I have not done in a long time. Thus I typically become very depressed almost manic like, have obsessive thoughts, highly anxious, and feel really suicidal at least this what I believe.
