You got this. Absolutely nothing wrong with medicine as part of your support package.

Plenty of self compassion, self care, and remember how ever you feel that is right for you at this moment. You're not broken, it's just your body and mind protection itself from *gestures* everything.

Yeah you're right. But sometimes I feel like I'm fighting my meds. There are days when it's indispensable. Others it feels like it's barely working.

Be careful lowering your dose when you’re already feeling low because it can make you feel a hell of a lot worse before it gets better. It’s so hard. Sending you so much love 🫂

Yeah that's true. I've been bouncing up and down on my meds the last few years. It doesn't feel right at any point all the time. But maybe that's me getting ahead of myself.

Thank you!! ❤️

I see you. You aren't alone.

I was on sertraline a long time before I realised how much it was killing my enthusiasm for anything. Now I'm on something more suitable for me.

I'm sorry you're struggling, it's a tough road. If therapy will help, I recommend. There's options out there. 😊

Thank you. I'm trying to get back into it. It helped a lot before. And I'm lucky that it's covered by work. But the prospect is still daunting.

I'm so glad your work is helping you! That takes a lot of the stress and worry out of it. I hope they are able to line you up with a therapist that suits you.

I understand starting the process is a lot, just remember that you're doing this all to help yourself. It's worthwhile, just as you are.

Thank you. That means a lot. I'll get this done.
