Moving forward

[tn26]

I’ve just started taking meds to help with my MDD, GAD and Psychosis symptoms, hoping so much that it really helps. I’ve gone undiagnosed my whole life and am so nervous I will always feel this miserable no matter what I do. Does anyone have any positive experience with meds? Or things they’ve done to help feel better?

Hi and welcome aboard! Moving forward sounds very positive! I very much doubt you'll feel miserable no matter what you do. Our thoughts are very powerful. The more we tell ourself something the more we believe it, be it true or not. Think of the times you've gotten through hard times before. That is your evidence that you have what it takes to get through rough patches. Life is hard and is full of rough patches. Learning to ride along with the rough times instead of fight to get back to my comfort zone helps me.

I am glad I'm on my antidepressants! I would talk to your doctor if you're nervous about medications.

Well, I had tried medication a few years back to treat my anxiety but found myself unlucky medication wasn't working enough for me so I tried a combination method ( medication along with psychotherapy/counseling). and it worked really well for me . So, that was my experience.
