Hi why be scared to take meds if they might be able to help you? They aren't strong powerful drugs you know but quite mild ones. Why not start them but arrange for someone to be there when you take your first dose which should reassure you.

Also look at counselling too. x

Most people worry about the use of medication but they will help you.

Hi! The puppies are a wonderful tool to use. Maybe find some mental exercises like breathing with them. Somebody shared with me to place my hand on their stomach and breath to the dogs rhythm whenever I have anxiety. Hope that helps :)

Hello Shelby

We may have a wonderful at home, although other problems in life may be problematic.

It can be caused by many things, the problem is only you know why you may have a problem. You will not take your medications, there must be a reason why you have been given them??.

Been given meds, you are not taking them, if that is the case, say you are frightened to take them, you will prevent possibly getting better. Take your pills, give them five weeks to begin to work, hopefully given time you will feel better.

What is causing you mental illness ?

I was scared of meds too thought I could be strong and beat it. Hang on in there speak to GP and maybe try something but tell your GP your fears
