I don't think I can take meds for mental health...

Every kind I've ever tried makes it worse.

Sometimes I wonder if I don't have anxiety or depression at all. Maybe I'm just a screwball and I need to embrace it.

I'm almost one week on the nightmare meds, laying here after work and my shoulders and chest won't stop shaking. I sobbed the entire first half of work. Luckily it's easy for me to hide.

I can't do this.

I am the same way, I've tried so many anti-depressants and they always made my anxiety way worse and never helped in any sort of way for depression. I tried staying on them at least 6 months and still nothing. I just think some of us don't take well to them and it's not a fix for everyone. I am sorry you are going through it, I can relate to this big time.

@SlippingAway I'm sorry your experience has been negative too. Sometimes you do wish there was just something to help, to maybe have an easy day, but no luck.

@ScreamingFox I've tried taking a lot of different things but unfortunately no easy way for me. I do find that staying active helps with my anxiety though. It's not a fix by any means but does help the intensity of it for me. Maybe it's just burning energy off I don't know.

@SlippingAway physical activity definitely helps. I can tell when I'm not getting enough. Being outside in nature and quiet helps too. If only insurance would cover time off so I could actually take care of myself 🙄

Do you have any idea why you have bad reactions?
