Never would of Thought

Looking forward to a medicine evaluation tomorrow. Been struggling with the idea about taking it. But I think its time. The sadness and heaviness is just to over baring. The dark cloud is always looming over head sure there be be a short break. But it sucks living this way.

barb08, we've all struggled with the issue of taking medication or not. When the symptoms start to interfere with our daily life in that we can barely function, then it is time to reach out for help.

Short term medication with therapy can do wonders. Medication doesn't mean you failed or will be on it forever. It means that you now have a little respite to your symptoms while you look for other methods in handling your sadness and/or fears. By not taking that leap of faith, you could end up staying stuck for what could be months on end.

See what the medicine evaluation suggests for you tomorrow. Trust in your doctor and believe in yourself. Rid yourself of doubts and fears and take that first step forward. We are right behind you in supporting you through this. xx

Hi Barb, I used to hate being on meds. But now am thankful they exist. If I were a diabetic I would take insulin. This is no different. We beat ourselves up over mental illness. I did it for years. "If I were just stronger". A counselor helped me see I am actually amazingly strong. As I am sure are you. Glad you are getting evaluated. Smart girl!
