Meeeeeee I’m seeing psychiatrist in public hospital.

First of all lerh, highly recommend to visit public hospital because psych meds is a long term thing, not something you eat for a day then you feel ‘ok’, so going to public hospital can keep meds cost to minimal.

Second, I think meds are beneficial if CBT is not working or you’re experiencing symptoms that are hugely negatively affecting your life. For example, shaky hands, no focus, excessive ruminating etc etc, meds are there to help take the edge off.

There’s no shame in taking SSRI.
Do you know? SSRI can be used to treat premature ejaculation too! Therefore you shouldn’t think that psych meds are for mental people only, you should see that meds are for treating symptoms, not the illness.

And yea this as well ^. Toxic positivity is a thing too.

*ps: not medical advice Kek, just from my experience*
